Aided by a strong economy, Trump approval rises, but a majority also see him as ‘unpresidential’ wapo.st/32awFID?tid=ss…
The headline is that 51% of Americans approve of tЯuml🇷🇺’s economy, & that 65% consider him un-presidential. But the details are far more interesting:
% of Americans who Approve/Disapprove of tЯumP on:
Very important for your vote? (economy 61%)
Taxes 42/49% 55%
Immigration 40/57% 56%
Foreign policy 40/55% 59%
Gun violence 36/52% 54%
Health care 34/54%. 61%
General women’s 32/56% 56%

Google's June filing for political donations is up, and surprisingly, the $203K the company donated to politicians substantially aligns with its stated values of inclusion and respect for employees from all backgrounds.

LOL, I'm just messing with you. Let's go through the worst:
Kentucky rep Andy Barr filed a somewhat unusual amicus brief in support of Trump's border wall, arguing that because Congress had allocated money to the Defense department, Trump could spend it however he wanted. Google allocated $1000 to Barr on May 24. mcclatchydc.com/news/policy/im…
Google was surprisingly bullish last month on ultraconservative vice president's daughter Liz Cheney, donating not only $2500 to her campaign, but $5000 to her leadership PAC. Maybe they got her confused with Mary Cheney, who unlike her sister supports marriage equality?

Smug @SecretaryCarson & the occupant of the @WhiteHouse are brutalizing our communities on an almost hourly basis. As we approach #PrideMonth, it is our collective responsibility to uplift our #trans brothers & sisters in the face of these cruel policies time.com/5595474/donald…
This hateful proposed rule will endanger the lives of trans people—particularly trans people of color— who disproportionately experience homelessness, putting them at risk of physical & sexual violence.
Carson unveiled this proposed rule ONE DAY after he sat before @RepWexton & assured us that #HUD would not eliminate the 2012 Equal Access Rule, which bars federal housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity

9 maps show how different #LGBTQ rights are around the world

businessinsider.in/politics/9-map…
#Homosexuality is no longer outlawed in the majority of the world, there's still a long way to go in terms of acceptance and equality for #LGBTQ people.
Religion is an un-ignorable factor in the maps. While the majority of the world has legalized homosexuality, the countries where it is still outlawed are concentrated in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa — areas with majority-Muslim nations.
