The primary role of the WI Supreme Court is to protect our constitutional rights—even when MAGA billionaires like Elon Musk want to meddle with our freedoms.
That's why it's critical you pay attention to what's happening with the court and be a voter in the spring election.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.
Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
