Big March storm fans wildfires and flips trucks as forecasters fear weekend tornado outbreak

"Tornadoes likely amid storm outbreak

"The Storm Prediction Center said fast-moving storms could spawn twisters and hail as large as baseballs Friday, but the greatest threat would come from straight-line winds near or exceeding hurricane force, with gusts of 100 mph (160 kph) possible.

"A #TornadoWatch was issued until 11 p.m. for central and eastern #Missouri, including St. Louis, as well as parts of #Illinois and #Arkansas.

"The National Weather Service said it observed an evening tornado in the south-central Missouri city of #Grovespring.

"Other areas at risk included parts of #Iowa, #Kentucky, #Tennessee and #Mississippi.

"About 47 million people faced an enhanced to moderate severe storm threat from Madison, #Wisconsin, to Birmingham, #Alabama.

"Forecasters grew increasingly worried that intense thunderstorms farther south will likely bring an even greater tornado threat Saturday.

"The Storm Prediction Center said parts of #Mississippi including Jackson and Hattiesburg and areas of #Alabama including Birmingham and Tuscaloosa will be at a high risk. Severe storms and tornadoes are also possible across eastern #Louisiana, western #Georgia, central #Tennessee and the western #Florida Panhandle.

"'We have a lot of confidence that we most likely will have a tornado outbreak tomorrow,' Storm Prediction Center meteorologist Evan Bentley said in an online briefing."

🚨 Wisconsin Voters: Your Rights Are on the Line! 🚨

On April 1, #Wisconsin will vote on a constitutional amendment to lock in the state’s already strict voter ID laws. Claims that this protects election integrity are FALSE, it will create barriers to voting for many people.

The amendment would make it much harder to ever change voter suppression ID laws in the future! Protect the freedom to vote—say NO to unnecessary restrictions! 🗳️

VOTE NO on April 1! Spread the word!

What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?

This man

He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

😲

On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry

But, sometimes, you can educate those who will listen

On April 1, #Wisconsin will elect a State Supreme Court Justice. Justices serve 10-year terms & make decisions that impact your rights, including abortion access and voting laws and will shape Wisconsin’s future for decades to come.

Judge Crawford cares about voters abroad, so much so that she called #DemocratsAbroad to answer your questions! Watch the recording here to find out more, and remember to send your ballot back ASAP!

We are an organization of ordinary people, of all ages and walks of life, who have come together to tackle issues impacting our families, homes, and communities.

We started organizing together back in 2019 when seven neighbors gathered around a kitchen table on a farm in Pierce County. Since then, we’ve grown in our ranks and scope across Barron, Buffalo, Dunn, Pepin, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix in western #Wisconsin.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that we all have the power to make a difference when we get organized and step into the public arena.

« Pensez à ce que #Musk a payé pour faire élire #Trump, a insisté #Bernie Sanders à Kenosha. La situation est si absurde qu’il est même intervenu dans une élection ici [l’élection à la Cour suprême du #Wisconsin – ndlr]. Si Musk peut intervenir dans une élection dans un État, qu’est-ce qu’il ne peut pas acheter ? » #Sanders milite pour que les États-Unis instaurent un financement public des élections.

Mark Pocan explaining how social security taxes are capped at $175,000 for high earners. If the cap was removed it would help the solvency of social security. Visit to discuss concerns and explains budget discussions in Belmont, WI today. It is very nice to see how it should work with our Representatives. #Pocan #March #Wisconsin #Belmont pocan.house.gov/media-center/p
