Janece Moment

We are no longer free. But we can win our freedom back To meet this moment in US history, we need to revisit the rich – and successful – tradition of nonviolent protest

"There are ways we can oppose authoritarianism, using techniques that haven’t been used at a scale for decades. These tools are our inheritance. They have been passed down for centuries, by abolitionist campaigners, labor organizers and anti-colonial leaders."

Thank you!!

Where can it be bought? Online store? Direct?

Kamala doesn’t owe us. She was an exemplary Presidential candidate.

She offered us a bright future & ran an inspiring campaign.

Yet, many couldn’t be bothered to vote-even to save us from THIS.

W/ that said, I so hope we will be seeing more of her in the future.

We need her voice & leadership.

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration.

So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY.

Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

We had a dusting of an inch of snow last night. Very very few signs of spring here. We did see some buds forming on a tree in a sculpture garden. I'm ready for more!! I saw some gorgeous hellebores in Seattle last spring.

Straight from the Schimel campaign. A vote for Brad Schimel is a vote for Trump and Musk to have a rubber stamp judge.

VOTE JUDGE CRAWFORD APRIL 1.

Safe travels, Kari.

Thousands of protestors marching around the Wisconsin Capitol right now. My favorite sign so far: "no science, no cheese"

Very few Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are among the safest streets on earth. Why?

They understand it’s more beneficial to calm motor traffic, build dedicated infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable users to armour up.

Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.

I love it - fabric paintings... you make me want to pull out my machine (which hasn't been unpacked since we moved here). I saw some embroidery that was freestyle/intuitive stitches, patterns, textures, etc. and that was inspiring too!!

Please come to our free zoom event tonight and learn how we can protect the WI Supreme Court seat. You’ll also learn what’s at stake and why we need to elect @crawfordforwi.bsky.social on 4/1. We have fantastic guest speakers. Please join us here, ssprogressiveaction.org/2025-03-03-w...

Being newish still.. I wondered it that might be the case. If we have to head to the twin cities, we should make a caravan of it with friends and make it an event. 😉

Where do you/we go when they close? Also, I almost went today and then opted out... Sounds like I'm glad I did.

Me sitting with you.

100%. You don't have to watch. I haven't except for the smallest of excerpts in passing and it's just violence. Unfathomable grossness.

My protest today is sending postcards to get Susan Crawford into the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It's not going to fix what just happened, but it is what I have that I can do.
