Sunrise Movement has been getting a lot of attention in the last few days.

Just a reminder that in addition to everything else problematic about their organization, they have structured themselves to be the exact types of money they proclaim to hate:

💰 dark money
💰 SuperPAC
Sunrise's organizational status is a 501c4 nonprofit, which is what the term "dark money" almost always refers to in politics!

501c4 nonprofits...
▪️can take unlimited money from individuals, LLC's, etc
▪️can have political goals
▪️do not have to report their donors
And they also have a SuperPAC!

(They're technically a Carey/Hybrid Committee which just means they have both a PAC & a SuperPAC)

SuperPACs...
▪️can take unlimited money from individuals, LLC's, etc

But SuperPACs are not dark $ because they publicly report all donors to the FEC
Also,

In case you don't know why they're so problematic, here's one big reason:

Here's a new thing the Justice Dems have started doing recently:

They've been creating & promoting these highly specific websites for their unreasonable demands of the week.

The domain names are in the same Demand+Thing+.org/com format.
And the website is just a petition.
I've found 8 so far, but there are probably more 👇

▪️Abolish ICE
abolishicenow .org

▪️Cancel Student Debt
cancelstudentdebtnow .com

▪️Demand Market Equality
gamestopped .org

▪️Pass $2000 Checks
survivalchecks .com
▪️Hold Them Accountable
gopcoup .com
(This feels like the worst one to me 🤨)

▪️Expand the Supreme Court
expandscotus .org

▪️Demand a $15 Minimum Wage
demand15 .com

▪️Tell Congress: Medicare For All Now
medicare4allnow .org

I started fact checking a few things in Cori Bush's past and ended up writing 2 max-length threads. Enjoy!

👇Cori Bush Deep Dive Part 1👇

(p1 is her background. p2 is campaign related)
Cori Bush's background eerily parallels AOC's.

And neither of them stand up to scrutiny.

I probably could have learned more about Cori as a person from "Knock Down The House" but you'd have to pry my eyes open like A Clockwork Orange to get me to watch it. ImageImageImage
We already know AOC "A girl from the Bronx" actually moved to Westchester County at age 5 & her family owned their house in Yorktown Heights...as well as 1.5 condos in the Bronx, one of which was her campaign address.

Nothing wrong w/that life but SHE told us a different story. ImageImage

When I wrote this thread on Nov 9, AOC had only filed campaign data through Oct 14. I've been checking back every day to see when the rest of her data became available

Today's the day! 😃

This thread might not be as EXCITING as the last one but I want to look at her final #'s
UPDATE: When I wrote that thread on 11/9, the AP & NYBoE cited NY-14 as "100% reporting"

And nothing changed until 12/4!

The updated👇vote totals for NY-14

👉AOC: 71.6%, 152k
👉Cummings: 27.4%, 58k

(I can assume that's going to be used to discredit EVERYTHING I've ever said)
The vote counts are a little higher but nothing else changed. It doesn't affect her finances.

AOC still got a smaller share of the vote than she did in 2018. But there WAS a higher voter turnout.

AOC Vote Share
2018: 78.2%
2020: 71.6%

AOC Vote Count
2018: 110,318
2020: 152,661

What do you hate most about the Justice Democrats?

What's your favorite fact about how sketchy they are?
Or Bernie.
Here's one of mine for Bernie:

I just learned that THIS 👇 existed tonight

(Am I out of touch for a Millennial? No. It's the children who are wrong.)
