DO you know the difference? In my experience most people do NOT

Fund Wisconsin Public Schools@fundwipublicschool.bsky.social

Do you understand the difference between a capital vs operational school funding referendum? Almost every public school district across Wisconsin has held a referendum in the last 20 years due to the school funding crisis – get the facts on how they work: www.jsonline.com/videos/news/...

I am thrilled to be part of this ground breaking litigation and I hope it brings real change to the school finance system in the state of Wisconsin.

Parents, educators, administrators, & students all agree: the system for funding public education in Wisconsin is not working 📉 We're supporting a new lawsuit demanding the legislature fulfill our commitment to WI students & fund public education. Join us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx2r...

Bonica goes on to illustrate how this pattern of authoritarian attacks on the judiciary looks the same across nations: 2009, Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi. In 2016, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye. Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe. In the Philippines in 2018, Rodrigo Duterte. In Brazil in 2021, Jair Bolsonaro.

Bonica notes, something different happened in Israel in 2023. When Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition tried to destroy judicial independence, people from all parts of society took to the streets. A broad, nonpartisan group came together to defend democracy and resist authoritarianism.

Hell yeah! We fucking passed our referendum. I worked hard for this. But the fight is not over! Join us by advocating for kids at a joint finance committee hearing, beginning today in Kaukauna.

Now that the lawsuits are rolling in, the White House position is that Musk isn't actually anything, and DOGE isn't an agency? So then, what exactly is this entity doing to all these actual federal agencies with absolute impunity?

Just a friendly reminder: Don't give Trump a reason to declare martial law. I'm sure he will eventually invent his own reason to declare it, but don't give him what he wants under any circumstances.

The most qualified Supreme Court justice nominee in history gets dismissed as a “DEI hire”—because she’s Black. Mediocre White men don’t get this disrespect!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It was already so much worse than I had imagined but the US is going to occupy the Gaza strip and make it an American /Israeli Dubai? wtaf. I'm stunned. The tariffs were ridiculous show of power and he "negotiated" with Mexico &Canada to do exactly what they already were doing.. but this. surprised
