NEW: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have announced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, legislation that would enact a reasonable pause to the development of AI to ensure the safety of humanity.
You aren’t sure why it’s not making national news? Aw, Sam, you know why! Citizens United essentially owns our mainstream news!
American capitalism is not the capitalism of free markets, free press, and a level playing field anymore. It is thoroughly corrupted now, with money, *vicious greed*, and the total absence of decency, social responsibility, honor, compassion or conscience — and it’s time for radical, strong and enforceable LAWS to be added to stop this atrocious reality.
We all need to follow HI’s lead!! And reform the SCOTUS while we are at it.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Hawaii! WOW! I am giddy with this great news, Scott! I hope they will win in court because the American people have been screaming to abolish Citizens United for years and years now. If Hawaii can do it, then so can the rest of the states! If our federal government refuses to serve the people and what the majority want, then our states will step up and do it for them! Way to go, Hawaii! My biggest Hell to the No this week was to that republican governor that took it upon himself to cancel and election that was already underway! He doesn't have that right! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!
I hope I didn't misread this, but I believe there is a petition to do just that! I sincerely hope they get the signatures they need and can get it done!
Hooray for Hawaii, Scott! I’ll read the rest now, but your first announcement of Hawaii being the first state to end Citizens United is a joy to find this morning! Thank you!
My forefathers fought valiantly in the Revolutionary War to establish this Republic. The power of those who challenge our right to self-govern cannot silence my voice ever!
It’s my birthday and at least one state has now killed Citizens United in their state. That’s a great birthday present and I hope to keep getting them as the country wakes up.
My hell no, is food prices and gas, can"t stop eating but limiting driving and have groceries delivered. Worry about people who are being caused family distress financially. We are having can pick ups today at our mailboxes by postal service, this a nice effort.
Can a state be on my hero list? Why the hell not? Minnesota already is, as is California, though I haven’t declared either before (huge oversights on my part) - and I’m excitedly adding Hawaii! Ending Citizens United is AMAZING and HI is showing us other states how it’s done! Other blue states must follow suit!! Set a nationwide precedent - whatever the success rate doesn’t matter right now as much as getting the momentum established: END citizens united! The most ass-backwards-ly named, undemocratic travesty ever!!
While we’re at it, we better redistrict all blue states quickly now (I hate gerrymandering, but this is ironically a fight for our country and PLANET.)
I wish it were otherwise, but in the present environment, I foresee an eventual SCOTUS ruling on Hawaii’s legislation that rationalizes and sustains the Citizens United decision. SCOTUS has repeatedly shown its willingness to disregard the words and intent of the Constitution to advance its autocratic and racist agenda.
I am so happy to see so many people in so many different states standing up to this evil and hate. I know people don't know about the excellent reporting done by Scott and all the others. So I made up a flyer pointing out all the honest journalists who report on facts and the truth and I am putting them up on every community board that I find.

I have many hell no s!
And I hope Hawaii denying citizens United in their state is upheld. It would be nice if the other 49 states followed.
This is HUGE news and I’m not sure why it’s not being spread everywhere? Oh well, we just have to fix that! 💪

It was Governor Landry from Louisiana. I hope the people of Louisiana demand to have him impeached.
I hope I didn't misread this, but I believe there is a petition to do just that! I sincerely hope they get the signatures they need and can get it done!
I would love to see that happen, Sylvia! I hear the bayou is lovely this time of year!
See my comment about Gov. Landry. Landry and his regime of hat has a tight grip on Louisiana.

The petition is to recall Gov. Landry. Our R dominated legislature would certainly not impeach him.

Thanks Judy glad to hear it!

We can do this. We are doing this. One community, town, city and state at a time.

Happy birthday Barbara!
My hell no is everything that spews out of trumps lying mouth every day. Thanks Scott for always giving us hope.
Thank YOU Rose!

Great article, Scott!
PS: Sorry for the “shouting!!” When it’s this early on a Saturday morning and I get excited, I use lots of exclamation points…

Maybe I’m naïve, but I don’t think they can do that
I wish otherwise, too, Kim!
Fabulous news. Heart healing, too. Thank you.

Good idea!
Good trouble!!!!
