    A progressive foundation that Mark Zuckerberg has funneled $2 billion to is bankrolling one of the leading groups currently suing the Trump administration and @DOGE. 🧵🧵🧵

  2. #2

    The Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) is one of the largest supporters of Protect Democracy, founded by Obama admin alum Ian Bassin. Financial documents from 2021,2022, and 2023 reveal over $4 million flowing from SVCF to Protect Democracy.

    Now those resources are being used to attack President Trump. Protect Democracy has already sued Treasury, DOE, and OPM for sharing records with @DOGE. They also sued the Trump administration over his efforts to root out subversive bureaucrats.

  4. #4

    Protect Democracy is also part of the anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Coalition, Democracy Forward. Democracy Forward is responsible for even more lawsuits against the Trump administration.

    Zuckerberg has given this group - clearly bankrolling legal sabotage of President Trump - $1.96 billion worth of Facebook stock as of 2018. If he wants to prove he’s truly MAGA, he should condemn these actions and withdraw funds.
