In 2024, dark-money groups spent nearly $2 billion to influence voters — more than ever before. Now, in deep-red Montana, a bipartisan movement is fighting back with a plan to ban corporate political… How a Red State Could Take Down Dark Money w Tom Moore

🚨 Dark money groups spent $1.9 billion to sway the 2024 election: a record-breaking figure.

But in Montana, a new movement is fighting back. Their goal? Ban corporate political spending and start dismantling Citizens United.

I can't tell you how many people have been helped or protected by this network of care and defense across our city, but everyone who is taking action is part of each and every one of those wins, and they all matter.

Workers putting up signs telling ICE they are not welcome and making safety plans for colleagues and customers make it possible. Teachers protecting their students make it possible.

Chicagoans make it possible.

Stop Trump’s SNAP Coverup - OtherWords The administration isn’t just cutting food benefits for hungry kids. It’s cancelling federal research into who’s even hungry.

SNAP has been proven highly effective at reducing hunger — *and* it improves school performance, social skills, and overall health.

When a program works this well, we should expand it. Instead, the Trump admin is cutting it for 1 in 5 kids in the country.

“Catastrophic threats to Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Bahamas and other parts of the Caribbean,” all “among those who have contributed the least to the climate crisis and yet are on the frontlines of its deadly and costly consequences.”

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

The time of old-school unions with cronyist leadership has passed, but it’s not gone completely yet. For the last 15 years there has been a rebirth of highly democratic, highly representational unions-the successful UTLA strike would have been impossible without this. Labor is still cleaning house.

Stop overrelying on "AI" for important shit. Like, honestly, stop using it for important shit at all, but definitely stop uncritically trusting it at the level of the GODDAM FEDERAL JUDICIARY.

I'm serious: It's very probably long past time to stop using the current paradigm of "generative AI."

It comes from, depends on, and perpetuates so much environmental and social harm.

Reinvision a better way than this. JFC.

So much heinous stuff in here! $1 billion from a public education institution to the federal government?? That’s not only extorting the univ, that’s extorting the state. But also my head explodes over the violation of faculty rights to determine curriculum. If UCLA agrees, it won’t be UCLA anymore.

Tear gas is an abortifacient. Being used widely in residential neighborhoods. And I don’t see any so-called pro-lifers protesting. 🤔

After Citizens United, billionaire political spending exploded — from $31 million in 2010 to $2.6 billion in 2020.

And 2024’s numbers are even higher.

The consequences were predictable — and permanent.

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police

We're in an emergency situation with an outcome that will have serious consequences for the farmworker community if Proposition 50 does not pass. Before you vote on Prop 50, take a look at who’s spending money to stop it.

Fuck. Him. There is no place for Rahm Emanuel in any Democracy.

Oh, I forgot to mention the protestors are part of an interfaith coalition organizing to get ICE out of the Bay Area. Feds are attacking ministers and people of faith.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.
