The Trump campaign continues to run false ads on Facebook with impunity.

On Friday, it ran an ad saying the deadline to sign Trump's birthday card was 9PM TONIGHT. (The card is used for email collection and fundraising leads)

Monday, a new ad saying the deadline is 9PM TONIGHT
You might think this is trivial but it's establishing a precedent

Facebook's own policies prohibit false and misleading ads.

Facebook doesn't enforce these policies w/the Trump campaign, which is spending 550K/week with Facebook
.@robleathern: Does manipulating people into clicking an ad by promoting a fake deadline violate your rule against false and misleading ads?

This is what the Trump campaign is doing here.

Wondering if Facebook is going to act or let this get worse.

1. If you've spent any time on Twitter in June, you've probably seen a bunch of corporations with rainbow flag avatars.

But do these companies really support LGBTQ equality?

Let's follow the money.

2. I identified 9 corporations that received a PERFECT SCORE from the Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) but gave $1 million to anti-gay politicians in the last two years.

These are politicians who received a ZERO on @HRC's Congressional scorecard.

3. Companies w/perfect scores from @HRC

@ATT (2.8M to 193 anti-gay politicians)
@UPS (2.4M to 159)

"I don't call it tweets. I call it social media." -- Donald Trump on Twitter abcnews.go.com/Politics/trans…
My favorite part of this interview is when Trump gets super mad at his chief of staff for coughing
He actually goes back to the cough at the end of the interview. Can't let it go.

SUbject - Appeasement, Madrasa, Khilafat

1- The Madrasa system is like a sleeping dragon which is actually gradually sinking into an ocean. It is in the best interest of our nation, as well as humanity, to avoid awakening it.
2- What I mean to say is that the #Madrasa system in India, especially in the last 20-30 years, has been on a steady decline. While several other countries have been shutting them down #forcefully or through #legislature (due to activities of spreading radicalism).
3- and whereas in India, all our past Govts chose not to disturb the #Madrasa system so that it can #die down #naturally. In fact, several Muzlim families have been moving away from the Madrasa system, and switching to the #normal schooling system for their kids.

1/ "It's not fair that someone should get a better deal than I did."

This argument underlies a LOT of conservative thinking. "I work hard to earn what I have; why should some deadbeat get free groceries while I'm busting my butt?"
2/ Remember TARP? The big bank bail-out after the mortgage bubble popped and all those banks were holding mortgages that people couldn't pay?

There were basically two ways we could have bailed out the banks: we could have paid off the bad mortgages...
3/ ...in which case the money would have ended up with the banks, and a bunch of people would have got to keep their houses.

Or, we could just give the money directly to the banks, so they would be saved; but a bunch of people would be foreclosed on and lose their houses.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

1) Painful truths spilling out regarding those party days of the 80s.
But it's not the truth people think.

It's coffee time, September 21, 2018.

2) Why is everyone so obsessed with two people we don't even know?
3) The answer is that we're PROJECTING our own life experience, attitudes and emotions onto these strangers.

THREAD: Do you feel it? Something shifting? Accelerating? This week I keep hearing @TimothyDSnyder in my head. #Tyranny is on the move.
1. This week, the FCC voted to end #NetNeutrality despite its popularity. This give away to ISP's is more concerning than the normal kleptocratic giveaways of this regime because it directly affects media and public discourse.
2. Of course, we all knew it was coming. I didn't even wait for the news yesterday because I knew. I knew from Pai's appointment and the sham call for comments that they hid & then hijacked. I knew when they dumped the news the wed. before thanksgiving. Yesterday was confirmation

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
