I just stopped texts from

No Kings. They were sending reminders every other day with a response requested that always ends with a fundraiser. (I had already donated.)

I'm already getting 18 or more fundraising or "sign this petition" requests with fundraisers texts every damn day. I just can't stand it anymore.

I am not their intended audience because I am voting and do not need reminders. Also, I'm not donating to primaries, not this year.
