A year ago, when I said, dark money was gonna be a massive problem in the midterm elections, and it's one of the most corrosive elements to our democracy, I got told to shut up because Dems and Dem influencers need dark $$ to be competitive. 🤷‍♀️

Any time the words “never forget” get thrown around, there’s almost always blood splattered beneath them in the process. Stop saying never forget when you’ve already forgotten the blood on your hands.

The words “never forget” earn an automatic side eye from me tbh. We said “never forget” after the holocaust and then built a genocidal ethnostate and completely ignored multiple genocides across the globe for decades. We said never forget after 9/11 and then started a 20 year war over it.
