If they’re trying to empower the protest movement this is the way to do it.

Good Gawd. Would someone please just go tell him to grow the fuck up? Why is he so goddamned insecure? Why the hell is he not in front of a team of psych doctors getting evaluated right now? Because this is crazy!

First step toward banning the Democratic Party outright

Now do AIPAC!

Not surprised. Autocracy continues under this regime; soon a full dictatorship. Think 1930s Germany. That’s where we are headed. #resistfascism

And what about the multitudes of shell companies taking in MAGA money? Oh, and TRUMP coin lol? Guess they're not investigating THAT!

Give democrats a viable alternative to actblue and ngpvan I beg of you people.

Keep fighting the good fight, Mr. Eisen.

jwatsonco.bsky.social•2 days ago

I get why they WANT to do this, but it seems like any ruling against Act blue would also apply to WinRed, wouldn't it? I know WinRed is a less effective copycat, though, so maybe that wouldn't be a big deal to them.

Will you be suing?

be-informed.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, and we are next... We cannot bend the knee. Trump does not believe in the First Amendment or, for that matter, anything in the Constitution. He sees the Federal Government as a tool for his personal use. That should scare the crap out of everyone!

Stand Firm!

Says the hypocritical cocksucker who just let an illegal alien contribute millions to his and rig our elections so he'd win. Fuck what that fool says, when tf are we gonna march?

Didn’t they fire everyone in the Foreign Influence department? Targeting one party?

Let’s prepare to battle to the very end!

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•1 day ago

Given all the grift he & organizations raising money for him have engaged, the allegations against Act Blue pale in comparison.

overit1971.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s such a loud mouthed fathead

surfesq.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is what consolidation of fascistic power by systematically eliminating opposition after systematically destroying systems of accountability looks like.

jonnyappleseed.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m only surprised that he waited this long.

sanquistador.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just start a meme coin. Problem solved.

radiogirl1071.bsky.social•2 days ago

We must pushback legally and vocally!

louab.bsky.social•2 days ago

What should we do to help Act Blue push back?

Hoping you will fight for us when he comes after us.

michael-slevin.bsky.social•2 days ago

When you're incompetent, greedy, malevolent and paranoid, everyone's a threat. His 'friends' will soon find out what the rest of us already know.

cooljenim.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not a huge fan of ActBlue but if this is the primary way to get individual funds to candidates opposed to the Criminal Enterprise called the White House Admin then we all must support this PAC's ability to fight the criminals threatening their ability to get funds to our candidates...

Just doubled my monthly donation.

comaku.bsky.social•2 days ago

Whatever he is insinuating about ActBlue, guaranteed he's projecting the wrong doings of WinRed. This is his game every damn time, accuse the opposition first.

jimsteele.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm sure they're going to look into the NRA, too.

Sure of it.

don't worry, Friedman has got us covered with a slogan that totally ignores all of this
