“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Portland, OR mayor Keith Wilson responding to public demands that ICE's land use permit be rescinded after they gassed thousands of peaceful men women and children.

Kinda curious what "the course" we should stay is here, Keith? Watching ICE gas, abduct and sometimes shoot our neighbors?

For other politicians, sharing something so racist would be treated as a career ending scandal even if they quickly apologized and claimed to have not watched the video before sharing. Trump hasn't done that, the Times invents out of whole cloth the idea that he might have made an innocent mistake

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
