This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

They’ve already raised $86k!! 🙌

If other businesses follow suit, and this spreads, it would be send a powerful message about where the *People’s* hearts lie.❤️

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic party.

It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic party.

Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/28/zohran-mamdani-democratic-party

Two million more people than the previous “No Kings” gatherings from June showed up across 2,700 events in big Blue cities and, notably, in reliably Republican towns.
From Texas to Tennessee, even Trump country is marching against Trump
A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.
