#Microdonations
Extraordinary to eschew ample funding through microdonations of a massive number of members, for a far smaller membership and large donors who then have the leverage to force policy on the party.
And it was a dleiberate policy. Madness.

We need a progressive ecosystem with protest movements and think tanks that don’t just create policy proposals, but also develop playbooks to get them signed into law. We need our own version of the Heritage Foundation, funded solely by grassroots microdonations. By the people, for the people.
We need a People’s PAC. Fundraising efforts and think tanks that aren’t for corporations or either party, but whose sole mission is to lobby for the strengthening of our democratic institutions and the middle class.
The best time to make some was in 2017. The second best time is right now.

Change starts with us. It’s time to launch a think tank focused on progressive policy and advocacy, driven by grassroots microdonations. The goal should be to inspire voters and build a roadmap for elected officials to make meaningful change. No corporate money, just the people’s voice.

They're usually sponsored, either by brands or from microdonations/merch sales from their followers. It isn't like the early days, it's an industry now

There are people I know locally here in the Decatur GA area who work to help moms get temporary housing through microdonations because of the way DFACS is so aggressive about taking kids away from their parents. Many times, these moms *are* working but don't make enough to pay rent.

If you want to directly help folks on the ground and you don't know how to parse all the individual requests, Coffees for Gaza is a really great group collecting monthly microdonations: opencollective.com/coffees-for-...

If you can set up monthly microdonations to worthy organizations, that's a really easy way to support causes and the people who specialize in advocating on their behalf. Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood, ACLU, etc.

6/ him #7 on its list of the “50 most powerful Chicagoans,” right behind the mayor.

"We need our own version of the Heritage Foundation, funded solely by grassroots microdonations. By the people, for the people."

These are fantastic ideas—especially creating a Progressive Heritage Foundation.

Have you contacted new DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social ? I think he'd be very helpful.

@jay.bsky.team Revenue model I would love for Bsky: get me through paywalls, letting me give micropayments to participating journalistic websites. & let me sponsor friends access to paywalled articles that I share. Also allow microdonations to non-paywall sites ie NPR. Bsky + journalists get paid!

I don’t care if you donate, I think Americans need to do activism to end this genocide and not microdonations to individual genocide victims. But acting like the vast majority of people don’t already believe you are in the right to do nothing for these people is fucking gross and dishonest

Donating to a local independent news room based in LA covering so many things along with the ICE invasion. Microdonations make a huge difference. We the people united can drown out the corp sell out media for real info and news. givebutter.com/LA_TACO_JULY #lataco #losangeles #ilovela

A good point. When you look at the likes of Wikipedia and IA, they have a big enough userbase to sustain themselves via microdonations (as good as asking for your pocket change once in a while) to keep the corporations at bay. I'd happily support a social media platform ran the same way.

Let me also say (don't tell anyone, my reputation is precious to me) that I like Grant as well, because he is a f*****g realist.

But he does these podcasts, gets microdonations, outrage clicks, gets boring x4 a week.

RT @vnaylon: @xeni it’d be cool to make a kickstarter/kiva-style platform to connect cancer patients with microdonations
