The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.
Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”
It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.
End Citizens United.
Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.
Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.
Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.
And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.
Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.
And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

🚨If a drone is hovering outside your window filming you you're just supposed to do NOTHING?
How the heck are you supposed to know if it's cops or some creep invading your privacy?
Florida man just got arrested for shooting a BB gun at a police drone... but this raises a HUGE question about 4th Amendment rights in the sky.
Why do we treat the Supreme Court as if it’s the only branch of government without any checks or balances on its power?
There's already a compelling case to impeach and remove at least two justices.
The DOJ approved the Paramount-Warner Bros merger without even telling the department's lawyers who were ready to shut it down.
The next day David Ellison got dinner with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
This is more than media consolidation, it's oligarchy consolidation.
If you made a dollar a sec you’d have $1 million in 12 days, you’d have $1 billion in 32yrs & $1 trillion in 31,710yrs or 5X longer than human civilization. New rightwing thing is acting like there’s an incremental difference between 5X longer than human civilization and 12 days
@JosephKrakora “If I can love you despite your want for free healthcare, why can’t you love me despite my desire to kidnap immigrant children and ship them off to internment camps while running defense for mega millionaire pedophiles??? 😔”
yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??
is that not a fucked up system ?!
