Even ride-sharing company Lyft pledged $1 million. Big names in Hollywood and the music world made large donations to the ACLU and publicly pleaded for people to give.
Last weekend alone, the national ACLU received more than $24 million in online donations from 356,306 people. It’s crazy in a good way, but the amount of work we have to do is staggering.” “People are walking into the office and giving money, which has never happened before. “It’s boggling my mind,” said Chuck Samuelson, who has been the state ACLU’s executive director for 21 years. A man who has donated more than $20,000 to the ACLU said in jest that Trump was going to make him broke because “he will probably do something next month to make me give more money.” Since November, the membership of Minnesota’s American Civil Liberties Union has nearly tripled from 5,760 to 15,960. No matter what side of an issue the group promotes, leaders say each Trump executive order or threat to a segment of the population brings huge donations, a spike in membership and volunteers and greater attendance at events and rallies.įor some organizations, the numbers have reached historic levels. Can't wait for Transformers and Potter.President Donald Trump’s election and his first two weeks in office have become both cash cow and membership catalyst for social activism groups across the Twin Cities. Pirates 3 was the best of the Pirates series. Spiderman 3 was the best of the Spiderman series. I would have liked to seen something else as well. I will agree, for someone who eats planets and craps asteroids a cloud does not do it credit. But this year, the next one comes out so soon, it gets my money. Don't get me started on how much I spent on Pirates 2. I saw Shrek with my kids at least 5 times at the theater. I saw Spidey 2 at least 4 times at the theater. Pirates is tracking pretty close to the second one, but again, Fantastic 4 is now hitting them, Ratatouile is next, then Transformers then Harry Potter.
ACLU LIBERAS FULL
It also had no competition for a full month. People were tired of the politics and Shrek gave them an outlet. When Shrek 2 came out it had a most fortunate position. A week later, Pirates 3 comes out and further cripples Spidey and lays a hurting on Shrek. So instead of pathetic people like me shelling out for the 5th or 6th time to see Spidey 3, I'm in Shrek 3. This year, in the third week not just any challenger, but Shrek comes out. When Spiderman 2 came out, it had 3 weeks before any decent challenger came out. I may not be allowed to eat Earth, but I think I might make a nice light snack out of Hollywood.Īctually Galactus, the sequels are underperfoming because they are so crammed against each other. I'm also charming, erudite, and drop dead sexy. I literally eat planets and shit asteroids. I'm one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel comics universe. So they take cheap short cuts, like making ME of all the people in the cosmos, a freaking cosmic killer fart. Producers and filmmakers don't want to deal with characters and stories, all they want are lots of computer generated explosions, chicks in tight outfits, and the occasional shot at the Bush administration. It shows the exact reason why sequels are under-performing at the box office this year. That drooling pimple-popping fanboys would fork over their money for a glimpse of Jessica Alba in a spandex bodysuit and not give a royal crap about the rest, that's what they were thinking. What in the name of the big bang is that all about?
