The WI Supreme Court election is April 1st. Off-cycle elections don't get a big turnout, which is unfortunate because this race really matters. Up for grabs is control of SCOWISC, which hears cases involving gerrymandering, repro rights, etc. Get involved in this one! tinyurl.com/43688ay2

Cheonggyecheon is proof that removing highways can make cities better. 20 years ago, Seoul replaced concrete with a stream, and the results are remarkable: cooler temperatures, cleaner air, and 12 million visitors annually. My latest for the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

well, duh. remember when they wanted to pretend the attackers were Antifa? Trump recruited them, financed them, paid for their travel/lodging with campaign donations, having already lost multiple recounts, and 60 challenges in court.

I don't know who's seen the interview, where his 5 yr old son jumps on his lap, and the reporter asks him what he thinks of what his dad is doing and he says, in a moment of candor you only get from a child, says "well, he says we're just going to quietly do, just whatever the hell we want to"

Does it strike anybody as contradictory, that Donald Trump's main immunity argument, is that a president can't be bothered with lawsuits and do his job, also feels like he's got plenty of time to sue his critics?

It was always a lie Burisma The alleged payoffs The “Biden crime family” All of it And it’s REALLY hard to believe the Republicans didn’t know Yet they held hearings about it anyway-for years Simply because they wanted to damage Joe Biden’s reputation Just like they did to Hillary Deplorable
