It’s nice to have friends. And Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford sure has a lot of radical friends. One pal in particular is drawing scrutiny for its radical tactics at Tesla dealerships.
The Trump-hating group Indivisible is one of Crawford’s most gushing endorsers, labeling the Dane County leftist judge “the right choice for Wisconsin.” Although it is curious that Crawford’s campaign website doesn’t list the national far-left activists on its endorsement page, which includes a who’s who of left-wing organizations — from Big Labor groups to Planned Parenthood. Perhaps Indivisible’s absence has something to do with its leading role in disorderly Musk or Us protests and other demonstrations against Elon Musk, Tesla founder and key adviser to President Trump.
“No one voted for Elon Musk, but he’s using his wealth and power to take down our government. Let’s take down his business. Show up to make sure people know when they buy a Tesla they support Musk’s chaotic and heartless agenda!” a “peaceful” local chapter of Indivisible declares in promoting the March 29 “Global Day of Action” of more than 500 “Tesla Takedowns” nationwide.
Tesla Attacks and Chicken Suits
Musk earlier this month posted on his X social media platform that an investigation has found that the Indivisible Project (Indivisible’s full name) is one of five “ActBlue-funded groups” behind the protests at Tesla dealerships. ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s go-to fundraising platform, is under congressional investigation amid the discovery of “hundreds of suspicious transactions” and allegations of foreign actors using ActBlue to influence U.S. elections. Several ActBlue officials have resigned in recent weeks, including the fundraiser’s associate general counsel and chief revenue officer.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Indivisible is offering local activists a “reimbursement program” to pay for some expenses related to opposing what it calls the “Trump-Musk coup.”
“Local Indivisible chapters, a webpage outlining the program states, can receive up to $200 per congressional recess for protest expenses like audio and video equipment, signage, promotional materials, and gas,” the news organization reported. “For lawmakers who decline to hold town halls during the upcoming recess, Indivisible encourages local activists to hold their own events and purchase ‘cardboard depictions of your Member of Congress’ and ‘chicken suits,’ both of which Indivisible will pay for.”
As the protests heat up over Musk’s involvement in cutting the fat from the bloated federal government, law enforcement officials are investigating a spate of fire bombings and vandalism on Tesla vehicles, dealerships and EV charging stations. Indivisible has spearheaded Tesla Takedown events across the country. Organizers claim the demonstrations are part of a “grassroots, peaceful protest movement targeting Tesla, Inc., and its CEO Elon Musk.”
Indivisible representatives did not return The Federalist’s request for comment, but the group’s co-founder issued a combative statement insisting that Musk is “falsely accusing Indivisible and a number of other grassroots groups of causing violence at Tesla dealerships.” Ezra Levin, who also serves as Indivisible’s co-executive director, claims his organization has “always been committed to nonviolent action.”
“Every guide, every training, every event we organize reinforces peaceful protest and de-escalation. Indivisible is firmly opposed to any acts of violence or vandalism,” Levin said, falsely accusing Trump and Musk of starting a movement “that stormed the Capitol, attacks activists in the streets, and fuels political violence daily.”
‘We’re Taking to the Streets’
Indivisible is known for its commitment to the defund-the-police movement.
“We won’t stop until they #DefundThePolice,” Indivisible Philadelphia’s website declared in a June 25, 2020, post titled “Make Your Demand!” according to Fox News. The national organization quickly joined in solidarity with the defund movement.
The national group and local Indivisible chapters were heavily involved in the riotous Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
A San Francisco Indivisible list of Protest Safety Tips issued in February advises its radicals to “Write the arrestee phone number for the local NLG (National Lawyers Guild) chapter on your forearm in Sharpie juuuust in case.” As part of its National Day of Action slated for April 5, Indivisible plans a “Hands Off!” demonstration in Kenosha, Wis., the site of the violent Black Lives Matter riots in August 2020. A portion of the Lake Michigan city was burned to the ground by BLM rioters in the days after local police shot and arrested a violent black man with a lengthy criminal record.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. We’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands Off!” the organization’s website proclaims.
‘Dangerous Madison Democrat’
Indivisible does have some very nice things to say about Crawford in her run for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“We’re proud to endorse Judge Susan Crawford for the Wisconsin Supreme Court,” the organization’s endorsement states, laying out Crawford’s far-left credentials. The declaration also asserts Crawford will “play an essential part in checking the power of Republicans in the legislature …”
As The Federalist has reported, the Democrat Party is counting on the liberal to help reconfigure Wisconsin’s congressional maps to assist the left in taking back the House in 2026 and stopping Trump’s agenda.
Tuesday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election is being nationally watched for the outsized influence the swing state court could bring to national politics. Crawford is going up against conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, former Wisconsin attorney general. If Crawford wins, liberals will maintain control of the court with a 4-3 majority.
The election, already the most expensive state judicial race in U.S. history, has attracted attention and millions of dollars from billionaire donors — on the left and right. That includes a hefty infusion of cash from Musk and political action committees tied to him, as well as buckets of money from wealthy leftists such as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
In fact, Indivisible and Crawford have a leftist beneficiary in common. Liberal cause sugar daddy George Soros has donated millions of dollars to Crawford’s cause through the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Soros’ Open Society has given at least $7.6 million to Indivisible, according to the New York Post.
Curiously and apparently unironically, Indivisible insists that America’s “democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy,” even as it operates by the largesse of a white socialist.
Crawford’s campaign, again, did not respond to a request for comment from The Federalist.
In a statement to The Federalist, WisGOP Rapid Response director Anika Rickard called Crawford a “Dangerous Madison Democrat,” so it’s no wonder she’s backed by far-left groups including Indivisible.
“From support for defunding police, defying ICE, and out-of-touch policies like allowing biological boys in girls’ sports, Crawford continues to align herself with the most EXTREME liberals,” Rickard said. “Judge Brad Schimel offers a stark contrast earning support from Wisconsin farmers, small business owners, sportsmen, law enforcement, Packers Legend, and even President Trump.”
