Here we go! And maybe Groupon too?!?
“Fifty women who describe themselves as survivors of sex trafficking on the now-defunct Backpage.com web portal accuse Salesforce.com Inc. of profiting off each ad.” bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
“Salesforce knew the scourge of sex trafficking because it sought publicity for trying to stop it," according to the complaint. “But at the same time, this publicly traded company was, in actuality, among the vilest of rogue companies, concerned only with their bottom line."

“But this fear of being hacked was allegedly the hook used by Office Depot, its subsidiary OfficeMax and a tech-support vendor to dupe customers into paying for computer repair and technical services they didn't need.” washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
“The FTC alleged that, from at least 2009 to late 2016, the companies would offer customers a free “PC Health Check Program” to determine whether their computers had any performance problems.”
“But the real purpose of the checkup was to aggressively sell diagnostic and repair services to customers that, in many cases, they didn't need.”

Chicago universities partner to fuel Conservative agenda, empower white Christian ruling class
2/ Seven years ago, Roosevelt University opened its $123 million, 32-story Vertical Campus in Chicago's South Loop. It's the sixth-tallest academic facility in the world. Moscow State University is the tallest.

3/ The high-rise was part of a university transition under then-president Charles Middleton to move away from serving the non-traditional, older, part-time student and focus on enticing more traditional, college-aged, full-time students.

Interesting that Post ran a Rob Goldstone opinion piece tonight and this.

BTW: @Fahrenthold does really good work.
@Fahrenthold "The accountants also note that Trump had told them to simply omit two of his major hotels, in Chicago and Las Vegas. Both buildings were carrying mortgages. That omission means that some of Trump’s actual debt load was hidden from anyone reading the statement."

Here we go again with attempts to control women's health choices. This time it's Georgia where the legislature is taking up HB 481 which outlaws abortions once a doctor detects a heartbeat in the womb — usually 6 weeks into pregnancy & before most women know they are pregnant.
This is effectively a state-wide abortion ban, and they know it would be unpopular so they are rushing it through. Maybe they won't respond to the idea that this is cruel and discriminatory, but also that #HB481isBadForBusiness.

Georgia is home to a lot of film work, for now.
If you’re a #Georgia resident pls call

For all the #women who’ve ever felt disregarded, ignored, used, or silenced – you’re not alone.

It’s a #FolkloreThursday - #WomensDay story thread called

THE GOOSE GIRL
Or
“Blow Me (One Last Hat)”

IMAGE: Title card for "The Goose Girl", Robert Anning Bell, 1912
Once upon a time, a long-ruling Queen had a daughter (who we’ll call Gigi, which is long for GG which is short for Goose Girl) who she loved very much. Nice to see some genuine familial affection for once, generally it’s the parents causing the mayhem.
The time had come for Gigi to leave home & travel to a distant kingdom where her fiancé, the prince waited. As she was Queen’s only child, the departure was, emotional.
QUEEN: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
GIGI: Mom, calm down.
Q: [sobbing] I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Remember when the democrats said Trump was lying about the human #trafficking occurring at the border? They said it was something he saw in a movie...
Why are Californian politicians so against securing our border?

2017 + 2016 stats
side note - the first set of numbers in the original post are only through June 30, 2018. That means 2018 numbers likely were about the same as 2017 & 2016, as pictured above.

Every single person who lamented the seizure of #backpage #backpageseized needs to read this. Especially page 31, the beginning of Section E.

Don't cry for these people that were arrested.

Fun fact: a lot of the women and minors being exploited in the illegal sex trafficking trade -get this! - don't get to keep any of the money they 'earn' by being bought and sold.
Let's dispense with the fantasy that BackPage didn't know that many of the girls being trafficked for sex on their site were underage.
