Is this what going everywhere looks like?
This morning, I joined WNOV’s Say Something Real with Michelle Bryant in Milwaukee to talk about how you can use the power of your vote to stop Elon Musk from buying our Supreme Court—by electing Judge Susan Crawford.
Listen here:

Thanks to Sherwin Hughes and The Truth 101.7 for having me on this morning to talk about Election Day—and how we can fight back, for all of our freedoms, by voting for Crawford and against Schimel, Trump, and Musk.

Open thread.

I’m still mad that the courts refused to hear Musk’s bribery case. I think sacrificing neutrality on the altar of democracy is what got liberals into this mess in the first place. The AG should just arrest his ass and call it a day, but I’m not a politically savvy pol or judge in WI, and they are right to avoid a backlash.
But then I remember Merrick Fucking Garland and I get angry all over again.

Do we have any sense of the turnout?
WaterGirl
@Dorothy A. Winsor: Great turnout for early voting, at least!
But Rs are pushing early voting really hard this time, so I’m not sure we should assume that the crazy increase in early voting is necessarily from the people who believe in democracy.
WaterGirl
I am all weepy today about Wisconsin. So much at stake!
Baud
WaterGirl
@Baud: That’s an important win.
These people are so filled with hate and ugliness – how is it that they don’t all spontaneously combust?
oldgold
@Dorothy A. Winsor: The weather is much less than ideal.
Madison:
Today: Periods of rain and snow. High 43F. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
Evening: Rain and snow this evening turning to rain overnight. Low around 35F. Winds ESE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of precip 90%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

@WaterGirl: Breathe. Do what you need to do today to stay sane; Pray, Positive Thoughts, whatevers, but breathe.
We need you.
And tomorrow we will still need you.

Today’s sidebar photo is of my friends and me, looking at WI.

@WaterGirl: What I wonder is what do their voters see in them?
Mousebumples
I’m tentatively encouraged, but very nervous about the Amendment.
We’ll see. I was optimistic about Madam President too.
If anyone has free time today, Mobilize.us has WisDems phone banks to help GOTV.
Forward! (Wisconsin state motto)
WaterGirl
@schrodingers_cat:
Water seeks its own level.
Maybe it’s as easy as that? Maybe there’s a secret sign that we don’t know, or maybe it’s sheer instinct? Or something they aren’t consciously aware of, but somehow they know that these are their peeps?
Baud
@schrodingers_cat:
Themselves.
Chief Oshkosh
OT?
Does anyone know how Cory Booker’s standing filibuster is going?
tobie
@Chief Oshkosh: He’s still speaking! Angus King is asking about what’s happening to the VA.

I have started my art challenge. I am letting you guys in so that you will keep me honest. I am going to do 100 experiments using different media, surfaces and techniques. The goal is to stretch my creative boundaries. I am giving my self a year to complete this challenge starting from today.

@Baud: Right!
WaterGirl
@Baud: I used a lot more words to say basically the same thing!
WaterGirl
@H.E.Wolf: I love that photo so much!
schrodingers_cat
@WaterGirl: Baud is pithy.
TEL
Really really hoping for not just a win, but a blowout. Republicans need to be more scared of their voters than of Trump. Sigh.
Mousebumples
@Chief Oshkosh: I’ve read speculation on bsky that he wants to set the record for longest filibuster.
Anyone know which Senator has the record? And what they were filibustering? (I do, but I’m thinking others do too)
JML
Let’s goooooooo, Wisconsin!!
Imma cry real tears if that evil sh!tbag Schimel get on the WI Supreme Court, where he will do untold amounts of damage, for he is the ultimate lackey. not even a bumbling idiot of a lackey, the blandly competent one who will inflict maximum evil intentionally while executing the will of his masters, for he is and always will be bought and paid for.
I’ve done campaigns against many before and lost plenty, but there’s no former opponent I despise more than Schimel.
stinger
@schrodingers_cat: I’ve loved all your stuff, so this is happy news for me!
Mousebumples
Mousebumples
Images for each one. No alt text and more effort to describe, but it made me smile so might be worth a click through.
martha
@Mousebumples: The horrid Strom Thurmond, racist extraordinaire. So a worthy goal to beat his 24 hour record.
he filibustered to prevent passage of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, of course.
Mousebumples
@martha: 💯
Would love to have Senator Booker in the record books instead.
I called Senator Baldwin and got her voice mail. I said I supported this effort, and I hoped she’d assist however she could.

Omnes Omnibus
My polling place was busy this morning. Similar to a regular Election Day. My polling place is the kind of place one would expect to be busy though, so I am not sure how much one can read into it. We did have a DJ in the parking lot.
Medicine Man
Good luck in WI to my American cousins. It’s not over either way, but I hope the outcome here shows your long battle is a little less long.
zhena gogolia
@Mousebumples: Nice.
Mousebumples
WaterGirl
@schrodingers_cat: That he is!
WaterGirl
@Mousebumples:
I added a couple of words so MAGAts can’t read it and agree.
WaterGirl
@Medicine Man:
Thanks so much for this. We are still cousins even though it’s been taken over by greedy mad men.
Trivia Man
@Mousebumples: I called F Ron Johnson and left a message. The gist was – why are you giving up all power the senate has? You could support or oppose or amend trump policies but instead you are just giving up any oversight or action.
Mousebumples
@Trivia Man: I should do the same. But thinking about him just makes me mad. Sigh.
