According to the tax statement, the Omidyar Network has contributed a total of $400,000 to American Compass since 2020. (In reality, Omidyar has donated $500,000, including forthcoming installments.) The Hewlett Foundation—a longtime supporter of National Public Radio—has accounted for more than one-third of American Compass’ total public support, giving a combined $1,486,000 over the same period, with an extra $475,000 dose this January.

That’s more than Hewlett gave to NPR or the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the same timeframe.

The donations are striking because American Compass is a partner organization in Project 2025, a controversial right-wing think tank that has been building the policy and personnel firmament for a second Trump administration.

But y'know, you gotta vote for the "lesser evil", regardless of the lesser evil's tactics, regardless of where the lesser evil spends their money, regardless of who the lesser evil genocides in their homes-- you just gotta voot, and voot bloo, no matter whoooo 🙄

And i am saying, again that by supporting Democrats you literally support Republicans and right wing think tanks. By voting for and donating to a group that funds fascism they have been tricking you into doing what you are claiming we are.

The. Democratic. Party. Funds. The. Fascists. Then they tell you vote dem, to fight the guys they helped put there.

I'm not saying i have an easy answer. Im just trying to show you that you don't fully see the problem yet.
