Sam Austin @samva.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Wisconsin should be proud of this. Our state seal *literally* has a horn of plenty on it, the idea that we're a land of nourishment and abundance. Governor Evers is fighting for that idea; the Trump Administration is fighting to keep families from feeding their kids. 151
