A plane over Milwaukee pulling a banner that says "GO HOME ELON. VOTE SUSAN" ahead of the #Wisconsin Supreme Court election that Musk is trying to buy.

Needless to say the #GOP critters there are soiling themselves at the link to Elon Musk and trying to deny he has anything to do with this race. 😂

More messaging like this, please! Doesn't get simpler than saying "Vote Dem to tell #Elon to fuck off."

InstagramKatie Grossbard on Instagram: "WISCONSIN!!! As billionaire Elon Musk has ramped up his spending on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race ahead of Tuesday’s election, one of his opponents took to the skies over the Milwaukee area Thursday with a message for him. “Go Home Elon. Vote Susan,” reads the banner flying behind a small plane, referencing liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford. She will go head-to-head with Musk’s preferred candidate, conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, in an election that a watchdog group has estimated could top a record $100 million in spending. Crawford’s spokesman said the plane was not her campaign’s and he did not know whose it was. Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Andrew Iverson said in a statement, “Democrats have their heads in clouds focused on a man not even on the ballot. For those on the ground in Wisconsin, we know this race is about stopping the Dangerous Democrat agenda and electing Trump endorsed Brad Schimel.” Musk and his groups have spent about $20 million on the campaign. On Wednesday night, he announced on his social media platform X a $1 million giveaway to a Green Bay voter who signed his super PAC’s “Petition In Opposition To Activist Judges.” @journalsentinel #voteforsusan"5,004 likes, 25 comments - katiegrossbard on March 28, 2025: "WISCONSIN!!!

Money is pouring into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election so fast that political observers now believe it is likely to reach $100 million by Tuesday, election day.

Already, it has become the costliest judicial race in U.S. history.

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

Elon Musk’s Hostile Takeover of Wisconsin
youtube.com/watch?v=zBICTkaeGU

"Elon Musk's PACs have spent millions backing #Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's #SupremeCourt race.

If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total #abortion ban, attacks on #unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit #Tesla."

First up today - another pitch for #Susan #Crawford.

Musk has now poured $18m into this race and we have to keep up.

Our community has responded, mightily, and has now raised almost $200,000

I know many of you have been working hard on this race for weeks/months.
Our new mega-stretch goal is $225,000 by this Sunday, 31st.

Donate and volunteer for our great candidate for the #Wisconsin #Supreme #Court race today!

Wisconsin Supreme Court Race a Test of Musk’s Reach

Conservative contender Brad Schimel wants to keep the courts from reining in executive power. Trump’s co-president wants to help.
thebulwark.com/p/wisconsin-sup

"Wisconsin’s #SupremeCourt race is shaping up to be a referendum... on a 2nd #Trump presidency... [and] a test of public sentiment toward #Musk, as he continues to wreak havoc on federal agencies, employees, & functions without just cause, due process, or authority."

Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal

The resistance needs a morale boost. But its importance goes beyond that
publicnotice.co/p/crawford-sch

" #ElonMusk, has poured money into the #election...

As #Musk rampages through the federal govt & #Trump attempts to terrorize his opponents into silence... the public, the #media, the #GOP, & the #Democratic Party itself all need to be forcefully reminded that Trump is vulnerable, widely disliked, & can be defeated"

Buying the vote
muskwatch.com/p/musks-politica

"In #Wisconsin, an #ElonMusk -backed super PAC is offering registered #voters $100 in exchange for their contact #information and signatures on a petition...

So far, America PAC and Building America's Future, a Musk-backed nonprofit, have spent $20 million combined in support of Schimel.

...the PAC can use the program to hoover up contact information to email, call, or text voters before election day"
