@Aetna ($26K)

@ATT @LillyPad @Walmart @pfizer @CocaCola @Aetna 2. Since that time, all 6 companies have ignored questions from many customers asking them to explain these donations and whether they intend to continue to support these politicians.

3. Corporations believe they should not be held accountable for their political activity. They think they should be able to give any amount to any politicians and it should be completely separate from their relationship with their customers popular.info/p/these-six-co…
4. They believe if they don't respond, the issue will fade away.

I don't think that is true & will continue to track these companies & their support of politicians seeking to ban abortion.

This is a joke. Bigoted slurs and harassment targeting @gaywonk for his ethnicity and sexuality aren't "opinions."
@gaywonk .@YouTube shouldn't pretend to have an harassment policy and then do nothing when someone someone repeatedly targets an individual with vile anti-gay slurs
This kind of bigoted anti-gay garbage DOES NOT constitute harassment, according to @youtube. It's an absolutely indefensible position

1. Last Friday, a gunman entered an office building in Virginia Beach and murdered a dozen people.

Four days later, the massacre has practically disappeared from the national political conversation

This is exactly what the @NRA wants

popular.info/p/the-forgotte…
@NRA 2. The Virginia Beach shooting, in particular, is a striking example of how the @NRA blocks common sense legislative efforts that could save lives

This January, the @NRA successfully defeated a number of relevant proposals in Virginia

Let's review

popular.info/p/the-forgotte…
3. The shooter was able to kill a dozen people in just a couple of minutes by using extended magazines. This allowed him to shoot more before stopping to reload.

The @NRA defeated a bill this year that would have banned high-capacity magazines

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
