— Ben Shahn, anti-fascist artist (1898–1969)
Madison, Wisconsin — This is a call for withholding all political and electoral support for Wisconsin Democrats at all levels of government.
This action starts with opposing Gov Tony Evers (D), Attorney General Joshua Kaul (D), U.S. Rep Mark Pocan (D), and all Democrats down to any state, county and municipal candidates who are silent on the wrongful convictions of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, and so many others languishing behind bars, ruining and preventing their lives.
The game, this charade, is over, people.
The Democratic Party is imprisoning innocents and killing black and brown people in broad daylight, then defending these crimes in their elected offices of public trust. Kenosha and Jacob Blake are the norm.
Tony Robinson is the norm. Paul Heenan is the norm. Ashley DiPiazza is the norm. That's just Madison, the civilized place. Look, killer cops cannot operate for long without the support of the Democratic Party. This is the truth staring everyone in the face, and yet we look away.
In Wisconsin, supporters of black and brown folks, and Brendan Dassey and Steven Avery, it's time to pursue opposition to Wisconsin Democrats at all levels of government. This injustice system cannot go on unless we support Evers and Kaul in the political system.

Image depicts German state enlisting her son, shortly before he was killed in a senseless and ridiculous war. |
What escapes bums like Evers and Kaul is no individual life is worth the Democratic Party, especially this Democratic Party.
Over time, we can quickly raise the costs of Party opposition to freeing innocent men and women.
Even a marginal raising of electoral costs will quickly degrade the Party in Wisconsin.
No more support for Democrats, people. We want Brendan and Steven free?
The political system is the pressure point. This is the prominent way in which we pursue change and protect our very lives and liberty, yet many working for the freedom of innocents eschew the political and electoral systems as a means of freeing people who do not belong behind bars.
Most folks in Wisconsin, my state, had they resided in Germany in the 1930s would have made superlative NAZIs, worse -- by-standers. No more.

"I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."
All the NAZIs required of the population is a "mood of passive
compliance" as Hitler’s Holocaust and armies coursed through Europe as he promised a
return to "traditional values" and security for good German families. -- Norman Cohn, Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1970). Cited by Noam Chomsky, The Culture of Terrorism (1988).

Has anyone been watching the Derek Chauvin trial on Court TV?
Every witness at the Chauvin trial struggles with the question, 'should they have done more to save George Floyd?' The sadistic pig-cop Chauvin and his buddies did not struggle with any moral question. They viciously terrorized and killed a man.
Watch the sadist Chauvin driving his knee as he looks around and preens on a terrified George Floyd's neck, as he arrogantly flaunts his status as a cop among Minnesota-Nice society. What we do in Wisconsin's Democratic Party is worse, and this sick game must be over now.
