Summary

Elon Musk is spending millions to support Republican Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, a key contest that could impact abortion rights, election laws, and redistricting.

Musk’s financial backing raises concerns about his growing political influence, especially as his businesses have legal interests in the state.

Critics warn he is using his wealth to reshape courts nationwide, benefiting his agenda.

His deep ties to Trump and control over social media amplify his power, but public opposition to his political maneuvering is growing.

      People in the locale where they live to not vote against their interests. They’ve seen what doing the opposite does, and they better shape the fuck up and get right with that.

          This shit can be turned around relatively fast by taking back congress. That’s the first LEGAL option at least.

          Ballotpedia keeps a very broad list of upcoming elections for different things. Get in touch with people you know in those areas and get them involved. Shifting everything from Fascist-friendly bullshit from the ground up is a good way to attack the problem.

            some of the damage is pretty much irreversible, or will take a very long time without any relapses to kinda-sorta repair a little bit–other nations and their citizens will not forget what ‘the u.s.’ has/is doing.
