    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.

    What SCoWiS does– and doesn’t– do (Hour 2)

    Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community- joins us to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court of Wisconsin (SCoWis) race. Read her latest piece up on The Recombobulation Area- now part of Civic Media- on how the SCoWis campaigns have changed over the past decade. The focus has shifted to emphasize candidates being "tough on crime," which so frequently carries racist tones. That's particularly problematic when we consider that SCoWis doesn't hear cases about common street crimes. So what does our state Supreme Court do? Tune in, and make sure you have a plan to vote by April 1st in the general election. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote! We continue the conversation with audio from Wisconsin Attorney General, Josh Kaul. Attorney Kaul shares his concerns regarding Judge Brad Schimel, facing off against Judge Susan Crawford for a spot on our state's Supreme Court. Schimel failed as our state's Attorney General. That's why Josh Kaul won that election in 2018 and earned re-election in 2022. And of course, we conclude our day by sharing something good.

    Protest and the Press (Hour 2)

    Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin with Harvey's reaction and take on the potential looming Trumpcession. Then, we shift to what We the People can do about the oligarchization (Harvey's word) of our government, press, and world. Well, we can protest. We can protest in our actions and in what we buy- as we are seeing with mass rejections of Tesla. And we can protest with how we choose to spend our time and to whom we give our labor. On that note, yet another Washington Post columnist and editor- Ruth Marcus- leaves, citing conscience and journalistic principles. In an age of decreasing diversity of major news outlets, Harvey sings praise of our own humble project here at Civic Media. We conclude news coverage two itmes. First, the platform formerly known as Twitter suffered multiple outages today, apparently due to cyberattacks from a group called Dark Storm. Second, our President cheered the arrest of a permanent resident immigrant on... well no charges at all. Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card carrying resident, was arrested by ICE following President Trump's executive order relating to campus protests. This is distressing, and a call to action for us all. Still, we end the day with something good. Because it matters. And because there is good to be celebrated, cherished, and protected in this crazy world.

    This “self governance” thing never ends! (Hour 2)

    Self governance is a long game, and it requires each of our selves, constantly. With that in mind, a quick reminder! Our next election is April 1st, where our options for self governance in Wisconsin will include selecting a new state Supreme Court justice and State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Check your registration and all items on your ballot here! Part of self-governance includes holding your elected officials accountable. And those elected officials must submit themselves to OUR- We the People's- reckoning. Yet following cool welcomes and constituent dissatisfaction, Republican lawmakers are counseled to cease holding in-person town hall events. And one of Wisconsin's Congresspeople, Rep. Van Orden compares those upset constituents to Nazis... not a great look. Self-governance is a radically new idea. And it's one that We the People enshrined in a radical document in 1776, our Declaration of Independence. Now, our president wants to move that original document away from the public and into his office. Nu uh, says We.Sneaking in one last bit of news, some national Republicans are now admitting, Medicare cuts are absolutely in the cards. Why? Well, the system's going bankrupt! Who's saying that? Rick Scott, the richest senator and a guy who knows a thing or two about Medicare fraud. Since, y'know, he committed it. Still, with all the *bleh* we end the day with something good! Something like this video of Jay Fergusun performing "Thunder Island." That's really good! Join Dom Salvia every afternoon from 4-6pm for news (some), humor (more), and great conversation (always)!
