Constitution Consternation (Hour 1)

Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community guest host today. Continuing the discussion Dom started with Angela yesterday, what should be the focus of the constantly expanding campaign for the Supreme Court of Wisconsin? Well, how about the Constitution? Many ads in these SCoWis races attempt to frame opponents as "soft on crime," which both serves as a racist dogwhistle and to reopen community wounds. Yet the state's highest court doesn't address common crime. It's time for change in these races- and we don't mean change as in money. With $59 MILLION already invested into this race, we desperately need LESS money in our judicial races. Regardless, this is the race we have this time. BLOC endorses Judge Susan Crawford for SCoWis Justice. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote by April 1st!

Then, moving on to another threat to our Constitution, this time our nation's. Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is currently being held in an ICE detention facility after the Trump administration revoked his status as legal permanent resident. He has not been charged with any crime. So why is he there? Because of speech- a right protected in our First Amendment.

We end our day with something good- always. And as Matt joins us, we have a poem. Enjoy Audre Lorde's "A Woman Speaks," some bird calls, and a call to come together in community.
