I was preparing to make a donation to a local org last night until I realized they use ActBlue to process. So, no money.

ActBlue it's the most lawless aggressive text spam house I've ever encountered. I had to reconfigure my mobile to make it usable again after the last time they got at me.

Without naming names, the wonderful Sarah Taber makes the same point:

(Don't worry, her guest in this video is doing what more Democrats must do: Running as a Republican in a gerrymandered district. Much like Republicans like Manchin, Sinema, and Gabbard have done to Democrats)

Is this about the Alex Pretti ad?
That wasn't Act Blue's fault (it was the fault of the group who made the ad), and they said they are looking into ways to combat that type of thing: https://x.com/actblue/status/2015204260917420330

Or did they do something else?

@JHagner Hi @JHagner. ActBlue is a tech platform, so we do not write or approve what campaigns and causes are sending. But we hear you, please know our team is listening and is exploring ways to address exploitative practices.

Hey #ActBlue and fund-raising #Democrats, I would give you money if it didn't mean a NEVER ENDING barrage of emails and text messages. It is literally the only reason I stopped making any political donations at all. Respect my personal information and FFS give me a way to opt out of further solicitations.

My biggest political regret of all time is using Act Blue to make donations.

The endless text and email spam generated by that decision is literally unstoppable.

There's no universal opt out option available, and they claim zero responsibility for the actions of any entity that uses the data their platform provides to its users.

This should be illegal in all contexts, but data brokers are immune from all consequences.

Act Blue is a data broker, über alles

DO NOT USE THEM

You can stand up to the Trump administration, and its rampant abuses of power, by donating to the Democratic Victory Fund, which raises money for Democrats running in important and competitive races in 2026.

Anyone here I know have a contact at #ActBlue? I have a good security director for them. #infosec #GetFediHired

EDIT: Please feel free to boost this post.

Just looked up name on the #FEC web site to see if people can see my political contributions. Some retired person with the same name as me made 3 contributions of $105 to #Trump campaign in 2025, dwarfing my $20.25 contribution to the #ActBlue #PAC. So disheartening. I am not even sure why Trump is fundraising in 2025 and/or why this retiree figures $105/mo is worth of their ongoing contribution.

You can donate to Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger through the Democratic Victory Fund, which raises money for Democrats running in important and competitive races in 2025 and 2026.

15/ Most of us oppose what Richard Haass calls “wars of choice” and understand that using military to install regimes abroad always ends badly. 5) support organizations using courts to try to mitigate the damage trump is doing to our nation. #ACLU #ProtectDemocracy #ActBlue #DemocracyForward
