Sorry, but while everyone is paying attention to Taylor Swift, there’s a crime against humanity happening right before our eyes.
American corporations like @Microsoft @dell and @Accenture are all materially supporting the agencies that have made this happen.
People people people. We’re not scolding anyone for not paying attention. Of course you are. Just saying that it’s easy to get caught up in celebrity. It is our opinion that this worthy of a lot of attention. Okay...back at it.

This year was a total shit show. So, just to stick it to ourselves one last time, we decided to relive 10 things which we either led, were a part of or were inspired by in 2018.

Just under the wire, this is...

THE SLEEPING GIANTS 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW
1) January saw Steve Bannon go from the title of "Racist Blog Manager" to just "Racist" as he was deposed from Breitbart after only a few months back on the job. Of course, we had nothing to do with this, but it's nice to relive again. Just because it is.
2) After a year and a half of us screaming into the void about it, Unilever finally came out swinging against @facebook and other social platforms refusing to address the hate and harassment on their platforms. Still a long way to go, but...a massive step.

Quick thread: No one is making these advertisers leave this show. The decision is theirs. They have had meetings and decided that, to appeal to the most consumers they can, it is probably foolish to continue to support a show that denigrates many of them. hollywoodreporter.com/news/tucker-ca…
At the same time, Fox is making its own decision. They have opted to continue the divisive, bigoted rhetoric with zero regard for the consequences. By tripling down on these comments, they have basically told their customers (advertisers) that they don’t care about their brands.
No one is making anyone do anything here. These are all calculated decisions. The free market decides which ideas work and which don’t.

THREAD: For over two years, we’ve asked @disqus and new owner @ZetaGlobal how Breitbart’s comment section doesn’t break their very clear Terms of Service.

They have only offered tepid excuses, changing their story every few months.
This is just a very small sampling of the thousands of comments that have appeared on Breitbart’s @disqus-powered comment section. They’re not just racist, they’re incredibly violent.

Breitbart only moderates them when called out by the press.
This is from the @disqus site and it was posted a week ago. How can they continue to ignore these clear and continued violations?

I constantly say on here things like investigate the investigators and boomerang investigation.

I'll explain how everyone knows this already.

The Mueller Special Counsel is a great start.
All the information that we know today derives from that investigation. It has not even been a year since Flynn took the plea and look at how much we now know.
Dating back to pre Mueller, who was Carter Page? Papadopoulos? Even Flynn to the people who don't really pay attention.

Now for the swamp: Strzok, Page, McCabe, Ohr, Deripaska, Simpson, Steele, Waldman, Mifsud, Downer, and Halper?

The Saudi regime has just declared war on women's rights activism, put *all* of the country's leading women's rights activist in jail, and threatened the rest into silence by threatening their families. This is a crisis situation. The survival of Saudi feminism is at stake.
This is sad and disgusting, I know. But I don't want you to be sad, I don't want you to be disgusted. I want you to be angry. Don't they deserve our support?

This afternoon at #SPSA2018, I was on a #CWC panel about mentoring across genders. Below, I'll include my comments from the panel. In it, I speak candidly about my #gradschool #metoo moment. @SPSAwomen @SPSAwomen 1/n
In many ways, graduate school is designed to make students feel like impostors. It's a common experience, but it can be particularly damaging for members of groups that have traditionally lacked access to the higher ranks of our discipline. I’ll focus on women here. 2/n
For these folks, the feeling that they have “faked” or “charmed” their way into graduate school (or the #tenuretrack, etc.) can override objective evidence of their own diligence, intellect, and merit. 3/n
