1. Dear @loriinspires:

You are the Global Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for @CocaCola

But your company donated thousands to the politicians behind Alabama's abortion ban.

@loriinspires @CocaCola 2. Two questions for @loriinspires:

Will @CocaCola continue to donate to politicians advocating to ban abortions even in cases of rape and incest?

Will @CocaCola seeks refunds from Alabama Senate President Will Ainsworth and Majority Leader Greg Reed?

@loriinspires @CocaCola 3. This is good advice from @loriinspires

Did @cocacola do this before donating to the politicians behind Alabama's abortion ban?

Yesterday I identified 6 companies who donated significant amounts to state politicians who have enacted abortion bans this year

@ATT ($196K)

@LillyPad [Eli Lilly] ($66K)

@Walmart ($57K)

@pfizer ($53K)

@CocaCola ($40K)

@Aetna ($26K)

So far none has responded

You can help
@ATT @LillyPad @Walmart @pfizer @CocaCola @Aetna If you contact one of these companies and get a response, please let me know. My DMs are open and my email is in my bio.

If you work at one of these companies and want to help, please drop me a line.

It's likely that if one company offers a response, they all will. Right now they are trying to keep their heads down and hope the controversy just blows over.

Time will tell if they are right.

1. The New York Times wrote an entire article on the Trump campaign's Facebook ads without mentioning that Facebook has admitted the Trump campaign RAN HUNDREDS OF ADS THIS YEAR THAT VIOLATED FACEBOOK RULES

@thomaskaplan @SarahAlmukhtar 2. This is the problem with HORSE RACE JOURNALISM that emphasizes easy-to-compare metrics (who spent more on Facebook?) over exposing bad acts.

If you value ACCOUNTABILITY JOURNALISM sign up for my newsletter, Popular Information at popular.info
@thomaskaplan @SarahAlmukhtar 3. Also ignored by the NYT: Facebook promised to hire THOUSANDS of people to manually review political ads.

But Facebook told me that it is relying on computer algorithms and no humans are reviewing Trump's ads prior to publication.

CONTEXT: Messina is a corporate consultant for many of the companies that Warren wants to break up
Messina shouldn't be allowed back on MSNBC to criticize Elizabeth Warren until he discloses who his corporate clients are

According to his website, he has more than 70. Let's see a list.
BTW, "strategic consultant" is what you say when you are a lobbyist but you don't want to fill out the lobbyist disclosure

@womensmarch Since you're still lying about women's concerns about the #EqualityAct, let me clarify: As currently written, Equality Act guts women's sex-based protections by redefining sex to include sex stereotypes, "mannerisms," and gender identity (aka "sex stereotypes 2.0").
@womensmarch When the law can't "see" sex--like when #EqualityAct equates sex, gender identity, sex stereotypes, and mannerisms--the law can't be used to fight sexism. What feminists are asking is that the law protect transgender people AS transgender people, AND protect women as a sex class
@womensmarch This is, FYI, what so-called "TERFs" get tarred and feathered for saying: We want trans people to be protected from violence, discrimination, and harassment. We also know that sex matters. We want to protect the rights of women and girls, too.

#Alabama #Abortion -

What have you done Alabama?

You've made it that "irresponsible" sex that leads to the creation of new life forces women to carry to term. OK. What is your justification?

Lets extrapolate.
Clearly the value placed on human life is high enough that you are seeking to protect the unborn.

Prioritising their well being over the pregnant woman. Even if you feel the woman has rights, you place the rights of the unborn first.
I don't feel this is an unfair appraisal of the situation...

Criminalising the act of abortion, as a deterrent. But what is it intended to deter?

Abortion - clearly. But is that the intention here? Isn't it "Promiscuous" sex that is the "sin" you are looking to combat?

Alabama Senate passes nation’s most restrictive abortion law, which makes no exceptions for victims of rape and incest. Brett ""I LIKE BEER" Kavanaugh is on SCOTUS so why not?!

Governor signs Alabama abortion ban, which has galvanized support on both sides, setting up a lengthy fight
wapo.st/2Q7ZfEP
What is with the #AlabamaSenate and their support of rape and incest? Bc that's what this is. If you want to have a baby with a woman in #Alabama you can just rape her and be out of jail in a few years (if that) and enjoy joint custody of the child. Its disgusting #BoycottAlabama

Digging into some of the literature in advance of a talk I am giving next week on LGBTQ+ and STEM. #lgbtSTEM

Will tweet some 'highlights' from the literature: mdpi.com/2076-0760/6/1/…
LGBTQ+ rights in STEM are not better with age, and it is not just about waiting for the older generation to die off. #lgbtSTEM

mdpi.com/2076-0760/6/1/…
There's a great graph in the paper by Cech and Pham. This is the "workplace experience" of employees in US based STEM federal agencies. 3 = positive, 2 = neutral, 1 = negative. LGBTQ+ have a systematically worse of experience. #lgbtSTEM

Let’s talk about race and gender bias in hiring. It’s a topic where many well-meaning people have faulty thinking.

1. Your system can be biased, even when you are not.

2. We need to decouple bias from morality. Bias is not a moral failing any more than writing a bug in code is.
3. You ARE biased. We all are. It’s part of being human. This is why scientists have systems for reducing bias in studies.

One more time: nobody is calling you a racist or a sexist. Ok?

Once we removal moral connotations from discussions about bias, we can think scientifically.
4. A fair hiring process does not require any group to receive special treatment.

But, and this is what trips people up:

5. It’s impossible to DESIGN a fair process without talking about underrepresented groups.

Why? To reduce bias, you have to identify and think hard about it

So I wanted to close tonight by talking a bit about how I got involved in #diversity #equity #inclusion efforts in #STEM and otherwise, and some general considerations for getting involved, especially as a white, hetero, cisgender individual.
If you had told me 20 years ago that I would be involved, I'm not sure I would have believed you. I was a pretty ignorant and inherently biased individual bc of where and how I grew up. But luckily people can grow. A couple things happened that changed my path.
Gainesville and UF were a huge part of it. I've lived in other colleges and cities, but it's been different here. Even with all their problems, the town & university have more diversity than anywhere I'd been & people were openly discussing big important related issues together.
