It's far from the spotlight, in a news hurricane. But what Trump is threatening to do to Hmong Americans—including here in Wisconsin—is unconscionable. Hundreds of Wisconsinites could be deported and face persecution and even death. We stand with them.
wsaw.com/content/news/O…
Trump's gearing up to betray Hmong refugees—a community that fought and died in support of the United States decades ago—in a slow-motion betrayal just as vicious and potentially deadly as his betrayal of the Kurds. It must stop now.

The Hmong community is an essential part of the fabric of Wisconsin. Trump’s attempt to tear Hmong families apart is also an attempt to tear Wisconsin apart. We are greater than his hate, greater than his fear, and we will win.

🚨HELP: 36 days from now, Wisconsin votes for state Supreme Court. Our job: beat this guy. Dan Kelly. Appointed by Scott Walker. Endorsed by Trump. Held a fundraiser at a shooting range the day after Milwaukee's mass shooting last week. Chip in/read/RT: wisdems.org/supremecourt
The tweet up-thread, from last June, shows Dan Kelly holding a long gun at the Wisconsin Firearms Training Center in Brookfield. That's where he held the fundraiser last Thursday night—with donation levels named for different caliber ammunition. Ugly.

Couples donating $5000 to Dan Kelly's campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court were honored at the "50 Cal M2HB" level—named for heavy machine gun rounds.

🚨WI Appeals Court blocks the voter purge! 🚨

BUT: this means that when purge case is appealed State Supreme Court, Trump-endorsed/Walker-appointed Dan Kelly can cast tie-breaking vote to purge the voters—UNLESS, if timing works, we beat him on April 7.

Vote Jill Karofsky!
Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race on April 7 will shape the fight to defeat Donald Trump in the fall.

Trump knows it—so he’s helping GOP operative Dan Kelly.

We know it—so we’re all in for Jill for Justice. Chip in and sign up to help Jill Karofsky here!

Last year, while I was running for @WisDems chair, I knocked on doors for Lisa Neubauer, who was running for Supreme Court to defeat a similar GOP operative. She was ahead. But the GOP flooded in $1.4m in dark money in the final week and won by 0.4%. This time, we’ll be ready.

It was an honor to tag along with a @blocbyblocmke ambassador this week on the North Side of Milwaukee, listening to people share their ideas about how their community can thrive.
@blocbyblocMKE Tasha Prescott knocked on doors, asked questions, and took notes. People opened up. My job in the silent canvass: listen. I learned a lot—much more than I would've if I'd been talking. BLOC's silent canvass is a brilliant innovation.
@blocbyblocMKE If you don't know about @blocbyblocMKE, take a second to catch up. This extraordinary New Yorker profile is a very good place to start: newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

In the 2020 general election #Wisconsin has ONE decision... Who will be the next president of the United States?

Get registered, get educated, and #VOTE!

If Trump's recent actions have not caused enough concern, here's how his policies are hurting WISCONSIN...
Trump's improvised and failing trade policies have real-life consequences for Wisconsin. Yet Trump doesn’t seem to care much about the fate of Wisconsin farmers, manufacturers, and laborers insisting he is doing a great job as president.

observatory.journalism.wisc.edu/2019/01/09/is-…
Trump pledged to use his business & negotiating skills to end trade practices that have hurt farmers... as a result, Wisconsin is LOSING FARMS!

From January to July, WI lost 491 farms. At that rate, the Dairy State could lose 735 dairy farms this year, a decline of 9%.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
