What happens when you speak for a bit too long at a city council meeting in opposition to a data center being built in your town? In Claremore, Oklahoma, a man was arrested and charged with trespassing.

The key thing is for voters in Chicago & Illinois to be leery of the dark money PACs named "Elect Chicago Women" and "Affordable Chicago Now!" They appear to be front organizations for AIPAC.

![[Second paragraph is continuation of article in first image]
The Pro-Israel lobbying organization, AIPAC, knows that Democrats won't support their agenda.
Illinois State Sen. Robert Peters, a Democratic candidate in the 2nd Congressional District, said AIPAC's efforts to obscure its involvement in the races amount to an admission of the lobby's growing unpopularity with voters across the US. A recent poll found that nearly half of Democratic voters in competitive congressional districts said they could "never" support a congressional candidate they knew was backed by AIPAC.
So they cheat by hiding behind PAC names like "Elect Chicago Women" and "Affordable Chicago Now!" to fund candidates that will support their right-wing agenda.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5i7qv6sq3azq3i3yzqicf6iz/bafkreiezk5zbk64qs7xkl3fl5nfaxyhasedqb3uswvwiw4futrzmti2q6m@jpeg)
![[Comment on article:]
They've tested this in Oregon.
[Article:]
"Dexter raised relatively little money throughout much of her campaign, then saw a last-minute deluge organized by AIPAC coupled with outside spending through super PACS, which themselves turned out to be funded by AIPAC," the outlets noted.
"The timing of the donations meant that there was no meaningful transparency before voters went to the polls, and Dexter expressed a mixture of ignorance and umbrage when her opponents suggested the money actually came from AIPAC."
[Comment on article:]
Now they're trying their tactics in Illinois.
[Article:]
Groups linked to AIPAC have so far spent an estimated $4 million in support of Miller, Bean, Fine, and Melissa Conyears-Ervin.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5i7qv6sq3azq3i3yzqicf6iz/bafkreigjlqnhnogboizquu5eogms23g3sgoxejjuziqik7uskztmfdt2ji@jpeg)
