I'm still angry about #CitizensUnited but this interview has given me some hope back that we could turn things around. Check out https://www.endcitizensunited.org and https://www.endcitizensunited.org/unrig-washington and the podcast! Thanks so much for the reporting @molly0xfff

Unlawful surveillance of US citizens aka #FISA will expire tonight at midnight for the first time since it passed as US #law in 2008.
This program as well as #CitizensUnited , has done more damage to the concept of US Democracy than any other structure created in the 21st century. The paranoid US government mechanics of #Sept11 must be understood as a threat to everyone inside and outside the United States and the driving force behind the rise of the corporate #MAGA loyalist.

This excellent and important interview about the legalized bribery and corruption that is the current US electoral funding system makes me wish to hear one opening line, again and again from a #WFP, #DSA, or otherwise #leftist or #progressive anti-corruption Democrat:
Who’s ready to hear me provoke another $100,000,000 of attack ads against us?
Right after that, just before getting into the promised provocation, play a quick montage of “paid for by” segments interspersed by who’s funding those PACs, and remind people how these ads attack anti-corruption candidates and support corrupt candidates based on issues unrelated to the policy the funding oligarchs care about.
Then pick a rhetorical enemy oligarch, company, or industry, and rhetorically ask how much they’ll pay to oppose you for saying this. Play it for laughter, if you can. And then say what said enemy will oppose you for saying.

@molly0xfff interviews End Citizens United’s Tiffany Muller on fighting big money in politics.
My work tracking cryptocurrency and AI industry political spending has only underscored the importance of getting big money out of politics. I recently talked to Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United, about what it would take to do that, and how we’re closer than you might think.

Gagged but it made so much make sense. repost from @ashleytheebarroness In 1971, an 8-page memo laid out a plan for corporate influence over politics, media, and the courts. Decades later, the system it described looks a lot like the one we’re living in. #fyp #ashleytheebarroness #project2025 #americanhistory #conservativeagenda".

This move marks the first challenge to the controversial ruling since 2010, sparking hope for change. #CitizensUnited The Citizens United ruling in 2010 allowed unlimited corporate spending in elections, significantly impacting political landscapes. Hawaii's recent law aims to curb this influence, potentially inspiring other states to follow suit. This development offers a glimmer of hope for those seeking to reclaim democratic power. Comment LINK (on instagram) and we will DM you the link to @cfh_unfiltered https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZGcEOwp5Su/ -- Hawaii just dropped the first domino that’s going to lead to American citizens taking back their power. I’m so proud of Hawaii for doing something that no other state has the b*lls to do. #citizensunited #hopecore Follow @cfh_unfiltered for more.
