Hopefully, we in Montana, are next to pass the same laws in November

Say NO to citizens united❣🇺🇸💙

States can do this. Even Montana is working on a similar bill.

Every state should follow this playbook.

Awesome Hawai'i!

We KNOW red states will NEVER do this legislation BUT EVERY blue state in the country should follow Hawaii's lead.

All states need this bill!

Now it's your turn California. @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

You can see if there is A similar initiative in your state here: transparentelection.org/find-your-st...

Well, that'll at least remove 5% of the money billionaires use to corrupt our elections.

As it should be everywhere.

This is how to castrate Citizens United.

We need US Constitutional amendments. Like: No state shall inhibit the right to vote. All voting will be converted to vote by mail to assure the credibility of safe and secure voting, and the USPS will be refortified & maintained as a social service into perpetuity w/ a fleet of vehicle & planes.

Honestly not sure why they’re playing games, instead of just enacting public funded campaigns. This gives SCOTUS the opportunity to claim discrimination against corporations as “people.”

Also, most PAC money is funneled through shell corporations and LLCs with no disclosure so the law won't stop a single large corporati9n from flooding the zone... But it will stop small businesses from attempting to compete with the corporate giants It's great in theory, but unenforceable

I've heard multiple analyses of how to reform SCOTUS & while expansion is 1 solution, term limits on a 2yr replacement cycle not only balance appointments, but would remove Thomas, Alito, & Roberts which re-balances the court Then there's ethics rules with criminal penalties for taking bribes,

Not trying to be totally negative. But I am getting more and more angry about the lack of meaningful progress America has achieved in the last half century. It must stop.

MIDDLE POLITICS SEEMS TO LOVE IT.. got to change if we want to sustain an American democracy.. and fuq your comeback but were a REPUBLIC.. yeah that worked well FOR ROME..NOT.

No more terrible justices.

Every state needs to do this NOW

Why are they waiting for 2027? This should take effect immediately.

I love it, but I wish it was at a National scale.

This is great. But the right of the people to limit or outright ban the use of money to buy political influence NEEDS to be constitutionalized. We've created a comprehensive amendment that does exactly that... and so much more. Find out more at amendamerica.org

Got to be enforceable

I want this for my state too 🤩

All states should do the same.

Hope this becomes a trend.

How are they able to do this when Maine voted for changes on PACs 2 years ago, and it's still being challenged because of citizens united?

I’m so proud of my state 💙🌊💙

@tinakotek.bsky.social #TinaKotek

It should be that way nationwide

As it should be nationwide

All states should do this.

That’s the way it should be in every state

It should be impossible for anyone to use wealth for power in any way, shape, or form. I would support criminalizing wealth acquisition.

Why aren’t more states doing this instead of just clutching their pearls?

Oh Gavin… #GavinNewsom

49 TO GO. YOU KNOW THE ASSIGNMENT. GBA

Will they pass a bill that will claim their forefathers’ lands back from Oprah and Zionist Zuckerberg too? Please?

Yes!!!🙌

Leading the way for every Blue State to follow

Sanity

Why aren't all blue states doing this?

To fight fascism we need opposition media with a backbone. Liberal Currents is that. Help us grow our voice. www.liberalcurrents.com/support-us/

Every single state should have such a bill in process. If your's doesn't I suggest you consider voting out the incumbents & electing ones who have gone on record promising to do so. Then keep their feet to the fire to ensure they do.

What about wealthy CEO’s of those companies? Curious.

I'm not sure how you enforce this though when dark money funds most PACs

What is the penalty? A strongly worded letter? It had better be 100x fine for every illegal contribution plus 25 yrs prison for every corporate officer, regardless if they participated or not.

Smart!! Too bad all states don’t think this way. Too much grift to be had by the corrupted states (examples: Texas, Florida)

Absolutely great move! All States need to do this! End Citizens United!

49 states to go! Great job Hawaii !

Every state needs to have the same laws implemented. Fuck BIG money

Not that they abide by the law any more, but it is something.

3. Media capture will be one of them. That is to say, people like Elon, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and Bezos buying up both legacy and modern media would become even more of a problem. One which would need addressing before we do any curbs.

This should be a thing already, and with EVERY state.

A corporate CEO's speech shouldn't be 100x more free (or louder) that a janitor's. That is not how free speech works. Publicly funded elections, with reasonable limits--every single candidate starts with the same amount of money.

Great! End Roberts' Court decision Citizens United! I wonder how Roberts and his ilk benefited financially from this ruling?

MORE !!

Congress does not want to rein in the donors that make legislators (and SCOTUS) rich. Citizens must enact change at the state level.

I guess Hawaii is imune to RW talk radio. For 35 yrs 1500 coordinated radio stations have screamed: "corporations are people", "money is speech", unions contribute more than corporations, regulation will increase cable costs, etc., and it worked great to get Citizens United

This.

Every state should make it illegal for corporations to spend money to influence elections! Bye, bye Citizens United!

An important legal tactic, but might there be unintended consequences? Could this law bar public interest groups like Common Cause, Public Citizen, or Planned Parenthood from spending money to influence political campaigns?

The one percent better get their 💩 together bsky.app/profile/ched...

Yeah right. Maine VOTED to limit PAC contributions 2 years ago and it was immediately challenged and will go to the Supreme Court because of course, it goes against citizens united 😡

Every state should propose a similar Senate bill.

Hello other states …. Work on it!

Now ad a mandatory relinquishing of any of those corporate funds, requiring those funds to be dispersed to the citizens for the attempt in controlling their voter integrity.

Wow, another reason why I love Hawaii

Why isn't it in effect today, this year. 2026?

Obama was right “citizens united” fucked everything up

Trump’s SCOTUS won’t let that bill stand, will declare it unconstitutional

Every state should do this…

We need this in a couple of the bigger states in particular, like NY and CA.

We’ll take a win!

This needs to go federal and get rid of "citizens united".

SCOTUS has already ruled on this with Citizens United. Hawaii's bill is dead on arrival unless they want to go against a legal ruling. Don't progressives call that an insurrection?
