    "as head of a decidedly 'liberal' organization"

    This is just the thing, it's not *supposed* to be a liberal organization. In fact it appears to be illegal for a 501(c)(3) to be political in nature. Their early documents and fund-raising certainly didn't create the expectation that this was a political organization, and scanning their current manifesto I still see nothing of a partisan nature here. Yett that's clearly what they've become. A partisan, 'progressive' democratic party front that happens to own an important codebase, and abuses it constantly.
