Hey Tim, a note of caution on that Politico piece about protest funding. I think you should reread the piece to include the correction at the bottom of the piece. Because the entire premise of the story is debunked in the correction.

It is quite the hefty correction:

тАЬCORRECTION: An earlier version of this report misstated that The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation seeds the Tides FoundationтАЩs work. It no longer has active grants to Tides. It also said POLITICO contacted Gates. POLITICO contacted an agency that has represented the Gates Foundation but did not reach out directly to Gates. It said IfNotNow was one of two of the main organizations behind the protests. IfNotNow is supporting protests, but students are leading them. And it misstated the year Rockefeller Brothers Fund donated to Tides and that the donations to Jewish Voice for Peace went through an intermediary. The donations to Tides took place prior to 2022, and the Fund directly contributed to Jewish Voice for Peace.тАЭ
