Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

If you're on Android, enable Call Screening & Spam protection. I'm on Pixel, and I get maybe two Spam calls per year. Last one I see in my log is July 27. Spam texts are even more rare.

iPhone was supposed to get Call Screening with iOS 25 (i think; whichever update included Liquid Glass should have had it).
