Hey everyone I need your help.

I can’t get @ATT to explain why they gave 5K to Steve King despite his long history of racist comments and, recently, endorsing a white supremicist for mayor

Can you ask them and let me know if you hear back?

Maybe you’ll have better luck.
Just FYI, @ATT is well aware that many people want to know why it continues to donate money to Steve King despite his ties to white nationalism

They are actively monitoring their social media mentions and answering everything not about Steve King
Intel just ended their financial support for King popular.info/p/update-intel…

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.

Hey y'all. Need some help on how to deal with really racist, backwards, bigoted family members? I bet you do. You'll likely have to share a table with some of them on Thanksgiving.

So take it from me, someone who was born and raised in the buckle of the Bible Belt. (A thread.)
We all joke about that really bigoted uncle who pounds a few too many drinks before we're settling down for turkey -- and we joke, because it's true. Somehow, against all odds, Donald Trump still has like a 33% approval rating.

1 in 3 people are willing to put toddlers in cages.
What do bigots love talking about more than anything else?

Shit they know absolutely nothing about.

That's because rather than reading, or evaluating reasonable doubt, they've been mainlining Sean Hannity into a hungry little vein for the past two years.

Hello to all my #Exvangelical fam and followers! Welcome to my new followers, I feel like I've been jumping a bit these past few weeks. I'm so genuinely delighted you're here. I mostly say a lot about evangelicalism and once a week I do a REALLY long thread about James Dobson.
It is time for that thread! In our emotional weather report, everything remains terrible, and I feel like I am actively going to die waiting for election day but there's not much we can do but press on. This thread will tie into some of those thoughts (legit by accident).
Usual warning! I go on relatively deep dives in here and it can bring up a lot of religious trauma for people. You are not required to do this, now or ever. Things are very hard right now and we need you to take care of yourself. If that means not reading this thread, that's okay

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Hey Kamloops. We need your help. We’d like to honour Kamloops veterans on memorial street signs this year, to mark the century since the end of WWI.

Can I have a word about remembrance? Honour? Respect? And yes, money. 1/
Kamloops Heritage Commission planned to replace about 50 signs this year, adding poppies to streets named for fallen WWI soldiers.

But city won’t pay the $8,500. Council opted to pay ZERO dollars and drag it out over a decade (watch here at abt 2:07 bit.ly/2s8WcRe) 2/
Some background: 189 men from the Kamloops area were killed in WWI, from a population of around 4,000 at the time.

That’s the equivalent of 4,250 Kamloopsians today.

Imagine if 4,250 of us were killed for our country and we decided honouring them cost too much? 3/
