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. Missouri may lose its last abortion clinic tonight at midnight.

This isn't an accident.

The legislature imposed new licensing requirements and the governor used them to shut down as many clinics as possible.

Netflix CEO @reedhastings needs to grapple with his role in this
@reedhastings 2. Over the last year, @reedhastings has funneled $143,000 to the Governor and the Republican members of the legislature working to shut down these clinics

At the same time, @reedhastings has tried to position Netflix as a champion of women's rights

popular.info/p/netflixs-ceo…
3. A representative for @reedhastings says those donations were intended to support a bill to expand charter schools.

But these donations were to politicians and empower those politicians to advance their entire agenda.

UPDATE: Netflix CEO @reedhastings responds to popular.info report, defends contributions to 73 Missouri Republicans who voted for an abortion ban popular.info/p/netflixs-ceo…
@reedhastings .@reedhastings says the donations represent his "support of educational causes." He was in favor of a bill to expand charter schools. (The bill never got a floor vote)

But his donations were to politicians. It empowers them to advance their entire agenda

1. Mueller spoke publicly yesterday but he was sending a message to one person: Nancy Pelosi

Mueller said as clearly as he could within the ethical boundaries he's imposed for himself that Congress should start an impeachment inquiry

popular.info/p/mueller-spea…
2. Mueller said he did not even consider charging Trump because it wasn't an option. He referenced a point that he made in the report: Congress is the appropriate venue to consider whether Trump obstructed justice

popular.info/p/mueller-spea…
3. Pelosi didn't seem to get the message. She said Congress will continue their investigation. This has embroiled Democrats in lengthy court battles with the administration. Which is exactly what Trump wants, to run out the clock

Thread: So here on Day 3 of #KavanaughHearings the man in question to take over as the next Supreme Court Justice called birth control an abortifacient - aka 'abortion inducing drug' - when responding to a Q from Cruz abt litigation challenging the ACA birth control benefit 1/
This is a falsehood, junk science, alternative fact, whatever you want to call it, but it is not true, like many other things related to #abortion, #contraception, and #reproductivehealth that are riddled with lies and junk science in order to feed an agenda. 2/
But we continue correcting the false narratives that r peddled abt these #reprohealth realities. There are multiple people stacking the White House who also agree with Kavanaugh...like this nominee that @AllyBoguhn reported for @Rewire_News last year: rewire.news/article/2017/0… 3/

A major difference bt conservatives & the rest of us is that conservatives, for some reason, prioritize hypothetical violence above actual violence.

E.g. A woman MIGHT be assaulted in a bathroom > forcing #trans ppl to use the wrong bathroom actually IS dangerous for trans ppl
Militarized police are justified and necessary, because cops MIGHT get hurt during an occasionally dangerous job they agreed & are paid to do > people of color actually, currently being killed by cops
A not-yet-baby MIGHT experience SOME primal form of pain for a moment > Rates of death during childbirth are higher when women don't have access to legal abortion

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/

Gillar ni den här tweeten, så får ni en tweet om hur det är att vara #blind i #Sverige. Upp till 150 st eller 2 dygn, vilket som kommer först.

Det är naturligtvis enbart baserat på mina egna erfarenheter.
1) I Sverige finns inga lagat som reglerar blinda personers tillgång till utbildning i Punktskrift. Många blinda personer är därför också analfabeter, kan inte rösta, får ingen samhällsinformation, etc.
2) För er nördar - punktskrift är en slags 6-bits binär kod.

Back in Berlin from this year's British-German #Königswinter Conference.

The best summary was incidentally provided by a border guard at Heathrow, who said to me upon seeing my destination:

"Please tell your friends we are still European". /1
A few more impressions: Everything started off with a clear political signal as the German official delegation arrived in the UK en route from Dublin.

Main message: EU-27 are the priority, and Berlin is 100% behind Ireland. /2
Most striking was the mood between Germans and Brits:

Brexit now seems to be more and more an accepted reality, with less grudge.

The deep regret is still there, though with a willingness to look ahead. /3
