The billionaire, who regularly backs Democratic congressional candidates and attorneys general, donated $1 million to the Color Of Change PAC, which calls itself the nation's largest online racial justice organization, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The sum was Soros's largest political donation of the 2021 election cycle and supported the PAC's efforts to slash police budgets.

"The killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and so many more at the hands of police violence have left us all outraged, but our movement is stronger than ever," the racial justice organization said in a petition calling for action against police departments.

"Now it's up to us to hold them [the Minneapolis Police] accountable, push for further systemic changes, and not lose the momentum needed to change the institution of policing forever," it continued.

"We know that policing doesn't keep us safe, communities do. Policing doesn't lead to thriving communities, investment does," the petition also said. "We must begin to envision the society that functions for ALL of us and we must begin by divesting from and dismantling the systems that unjustly harm Black people."

Soros's donation is the latest in a string of financial contributions toward groups or candidates that advocate for defunding the police or that are soft on crime.

The billionaire donated $2 million for the campaign of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, who is facing a recall effort after he announced radical criminal reform changes.

The effort included "an end to cash bail, a ban on prosecutors seeking enhanced prison sentences, and showing leniency to many low-level offenders."

The Democratic megadonor has also funded other local prosecutor races across the country, helping Kim Gardner in Missouri, who released 34 of 36 individuals arrested during the summer riots in her city last year; District Attorney Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, who fired 31 prosecutors from his office and ordered police groups to lower prosecutions dramatically and shorten probation and parole periods; Kim Foxx in Chicago, who ended felony prosecutions for a number of crimes and deferred prison sentences; and Rachael Rollins in Massachusetts, who ran on a platform of decriminalizing an array of offenses.

I thought of Soros last night when we heard from a border official who said individuals from 150 different counties have been encountered coming across the border. Carlson listened to the list of countries and said "those countries aren't anywhere near the US - Mexico border, how are they getting here?"

Interestingly i heard last night that many of the Afghan's who have assisted us throughout the years are now undergoing the process to legally immigrate to the US.   I was thinking, maybe they should just load up a fleet of C-130's and C-5's and drop them on the southern border.

Probably be quicker.

Definition of they

1 : those ones : those people, animals, or things They dance well. What do they want to do? They aren't as popular as they once were.
2 used to refer to people in a general way or to a group of people who are not specified
A group of people who would look for such things.

Allow me:

A Missouri Ethics Commission filing on Saturday showed a  $116,000  donation from Soros to the Missouri Justice and Public Safety PAC which was formed to support Gardner. The filing indicated Soros was the sole donor to the group so far. The PAC reported it has spent about $104,393 so far, including about $77,804 directly on Gardner.

So?  Are republicans the only ones that can have PACS and Super PACS?

I would think that China, Russia, NK, Iran, Cuba and George Soros whould be forbidden from donating to political campaigns.

Wouldn't that be a good idea?

We know that policing doesn't keep us safe

Criminals everywhere start cheering.

communities do.

Criminals are more that willing to help out any community that reduces/weakens their police force and laws.

Policing doesn't lead to thriving communities, investment does

Investors do not invest in communities with high crime rates, period. They want a return on their investment. They don't want their employees assaulted/murdered, and their businesses robbed, looted, or burnt to the ground.

FERGUSON, Mo. —   When Starbucks opened here in 2016, politicians celebrated, predicting that the coffee chain would revitalize a city marred by violent protests over Michael Brown’s killing two years earlier.

Other corporations jumped in with multimillion-dollar commitments to help rebuild the majority-black town that became a global symbol of racial and economic inequality.

But four years after the unrest, nearly all of the new development is concentrated in the more prosperous — and whiter — parts of town, bypassing the predominantly black southeast neighborhood where Brown was fatally shot by a police officer while walking to his grandmother’s home.

The investments, rather than easing the economic gap, have deepened that divide.

“This is the forgotten Ferguson,” said Francesca Griffin, a St. Louis native who moved to the inner-ring suburb 13 years ago for the more-affordable home prices. “Time and time again, West Florissant Avenue just gets left out. And people are losing hope.”

The growing disparity is the result of decisions, large and small, that capture the difficulties of overcoming a legacy of racial segregation, economic exclusion and political disenfranchisement.

In Ferguson’s case, obstacles have included a corporate mind-set willing to take on only so much risk, a seeming lack of political will and a disadvantaged community’s inability to promote its own interests.

Of the more than $36 million in bricks-and-mortar development that poured into the city after 2014, only $2.4 million — for a job training center — has directly benefited this isolated pocket of Ferguson, according to an analysis of building-permit data provided by the city.

Soros doesn't give a shit. It is not like the resulting increase in crime, violence, and instability will affect him or his income in the slightest.
