Damn, that was a great piece of writing. And Rep. Mason’s speech was equally good. I wish I could have gotten in the capitol that day to hear it.
We’re near to boiling here in Wisconsin. People don’t feel so warm and fuzzy to the police who stand like palace guards. Maybe it’s time for it to get ugly. Not violent, but ugly. A general strike. Massive picketing at a corporation that funds this nonsense. Shouting, banging on doors.
I’m genuinely scared here. I have to shake the feeling that “this can’t be happening,” because it is happening. And the question is what are going to do about it? -

Beautifully written, Allison. I’ve been inside the rotunda 4 times since this began, and each time, it was a tremendously moving, life-affirming experience. Videos only begin to capture the intensity of it all. To take this away, probably illegally, is an affront to the heart of democracy.
