9. trump is now threatening to shut down ActBlue

Wed Oct 8, 2025, 08:34 PM

Oct 8

for aiding and abetting donations to his enemies. ActBlue sent out a lengthy text several days ago seeking - of course - funds to counter trump's efforts. If trump wields his powers and manages to at least curtail ActBlue, we might not have to be concerned about what ActBlue does with our info because they may no longer exist. I trusted and used them, but get annoyed also by my info being shopped out to every D out there looking for funds. The last few donations I've made have been by check because I don't trust having my credit card info up for grabs either.

It really is beyond ridiculous.

Use this. Be generous. Be very slow, methodical, and thorough. Use up their time. Norrrm Oct 8 #5
