Black influencers are rarely ever invited on influencer trips.

I’ve started screenshotting every press trip I’ve seen over the last month and the lack of diversity is so upsetting (but not surprising).
Also: note this isn’t a jab at any of the influencers going on these trips, but a message for the companies who are hosting them (and inviting said influencers).

Black households have trillions in spending power. And you’re ignoring the market. fortune.com/2018/02/28/rac…
One quick update: I had a lot of people tell me that black people just weren’t wanted in these spaces.

I called attention to this issue and I’ve had two of these brands DM me and we’re having a great conversation. Just. Speak. Up.

Over the last month, ICE has piloted 90-minute DNA tests to prove that parents and children arriving at the border are related.

Last night ICE told contractors it's expanding the program: fbo.gov/index?s=opport…
"Operation Double Helix 2.0" will run for at least 5 months at 7 locations on the southern border, with an option for another 5 months. ICE estimates running 50,000 DNA tests each period.
This contracting doc repeats a claim made often by DHS officials, that an "increase in fraudulent family relationship claims" requires such a response. According to government stats, this fraud is still very rare. washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…

The Office identified multiple contacts- "links," in the words of the Appointment Orderbetween Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government.
The Office investigated whether those contacts constituted a third avenue of attempted Russian interference with or influence on the 2016 presidential election.
In particular, the investigation examined whether these contacts involved or resulted in coordination or a conspiracy with the Trump Campaign and RU, including with respect to RU providing assistance to the Campaign in exchange for any sort of favorable treatment in the future.

Last Friday I stared at the TV in disbelief having just heard Mark Francois’ comments about Germany. Today I stare at my phone screen in equal disbelief, having just read Lord Saatchi’s speech he gave in the House of Lords earlier this week to make a case for #RemainPlus. 1/
As a German, as a Remainer, as an EU citizen I no longer have suitable words to tell you how upset and irritated I am about all this anti-German BS. And the continuing sense of entitlement and made-up British exceptionalism. What is wrong with people? 2/
The anti-German rhetoric we have seen increase so much over the last month cannot simply be explained away anymore with “oh that’s just a fringe view”. It’s everywhere. I find it so incredibly saddening not just because I am German, but because of this. heraldscotland.com/news/17388409.… 3/

Over the last month, Speaker Pelosi and liberals in Washington have put their personal differences with President Trump over the security of our border and the paychecks of federal workers.
Time and time again, President Trump proposed reasonable solutions that would open the government and secure our borders, while also including policies that Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have previously supported.
Yet each time, Pelosi and Schumer refused to come to the table or even present a counteroffer. Now, once again, President Trump is exhibiting leadership by agreeing to re-open even though we still haven’t reached an agreement on border security.

So after recent drama concerning influencers, “staged content” and unrealistic lifestyles, I wanted to discuss what our industry can learn from it.

[THREAD]

NOTE: I DO NOT CONDONE OR SUPPORT BULLYING, TROLLING OR DEATH THREATS MADE TO ANY INDIVIDUALS IN THIS/SIMILAR SITUATIONS.
Sifting through the vile and unwarranted bullying that was present in the comments section of the content, what I saw was a number of users complaining that this kind of content is wildly unachievable and has significantly lowered their own confidence/satisfaction.
It’s important for influencers/bloggers to understand that we have a responsibility to our audience and the balance between revenue and audience satisfaction is a delicate one.

Any “influence” over our audience has a certain moral responsibility that comes with it.
