YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: Washington Free Beacon Sleuth-Extraordinaire Joe Schoffstall took a look at the Tides Center’s latest (2019) tax filing and discovered that the liberal activist group incubator received $16 million in federal grants.

If you aren’t familiar with the Tides Center, it’s a branch of the Tides Foundation, the California-based originator of Dark Money – that is, providing a tax-exempt place for liberal donors to give money anonymously to activist groups they would not otherwise want to be identified with publicly.

It’s all but impossible to name a significant Left-wing activist group of the past two, even three, decades that doesn’t in some way benefit from the Tides umbrella. These days, the most prominent such group would probably be the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It’s not for nothing that Schoffstall describes Tides as the “Dark Money Behemoth.”
