Too Much Dark Money in Almonds

I donated to the ACLU a couple of years ago. They’ve since spent the entire amount mailing me solicitations for more. Their latest one was this really obnoxious envelope with FINAL NOTICE written on it. I like their mission but fuck everything about their solicitation techniques.

I like to use tracer email addresses. I gave them [email protected] and it’s easy to see when they sell my email address as I’ve only ever used that email address with them.

When I’m bored one day I’ll try to do a genealogy of how these addresses spread from sale to sale. But I don’t think I keep enough spam to get a cool picture.

Likewise, bad experiences with the ACLU. ... including fundraising messages that I found offensive (and obviously entirely off message for what I understood the ACLU to stand for).
