Reminder: Estée Lauder & all its brands (Aveda, Jo Malone London, Bobbi Brown, Smashbox, M.A.C. Cosmetics) have unfortunately been added to the #GrabYourWallet list, as board member Ron Lauder is an avid Trump donor. fec.gov/data/receipts/…
In order to be removed from the list, we're asking the company to state on the record that its executives will refrain from donating to the Trump campaign in 2019/2020. They also have the option of saying "any presidential campaign."
It's worth noting the $100k Ron Lauder gave to Republican "Fight for Tomorrow" PAC was used to buy a Green Party candidate ad time in order to try to defeat Dem Antonio Delgado in tight race against GOP John Faso. Green Party candidate was polling at 1%. readsludge.com/2018/11/06/dir…

Good morning! To encourage Elon Musk to refrain from spreading conspiracy theories & reinstating banned users, I just blocked the Twitter accounts of 500+ big companies. Wanna join me? There are two main ways. Instructions below in this #thread. 👇
The quickest, easiest way is to use a free tool called Bot Block by @oolon who gave new life to a tool called Block Together by Jacob Hoffman-Andrews. I have a custom block list on Bot Block to which you can subscribe w/ just a few clicks... It’s here: theblockbot.com/show-blocks/OL…
Subscribing to my block list doesn't overrule your own. You’ll be blocking my list in addition to yours. Again, to subscribe to my block list, click this custom link: theblockbot.com/show-blocks/OL… Then click the button that says “Block All and Subscribe.” Then click “Authorize App."

Bill Clinton signing the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 was a real low for Democrats. And it came in the wake of a lot the same panicky “think of the children" fearmongering we’re seeing from DeSantis and co. now.
DOMA is a shameful reminder of how much traction that fearmongering got among the left and center. We simply cannot let that kind of thing happen again.
Many leading Republicans are clearly going to try to make their own homophobia and transphobia a pillar of their political strategy going into 2024. I think about this a lot....

Watching the Michigan Bureau of Elections Board meeting on CSPAN. They're about to vote on certification. c-span.org/video/?478327-…
God bless this one grey haired bureaucrat, Christopher Thomas, just absolutely sticking it in the nicest possible impatient dad way to the one dude, Norman Shinkle, who wants to refrain from certifying Michigan's votes today.
The guy speaking now, Daniel Baxter, is the director of elections for Detroit. He's talking about all the measures Detroit took this year (extra training, extra pay, extra shifts for election workers) to ensure the vote was accurate.

Change is never about securing a majority opinion, but making the status quo too heavy a burden to bear. Ivanka can safely talk about women's rights & risk nothing b/c of the women who risked _everything_ before her. The question is not, "how do we get," but what will we risk?
Every time Trump does something egregious, I directly ask (not Twitter ask, directly ask) the people who funded that harm how they feel about having done that. We don't begin to understand how much direct pressure can accomplish. businessinsider.com/billionaires-w…
Those interested in real change will realize even villains want to be remembered well. So, every single direct communication to a wealthy villain asking them, "how do you feel about what you've done" or "is this harm how you want to be remembered?" is a _real_ move toward change.

What I'll be doing all day tomorrow.
Charles Schwab's PR folks replied "our chairman’s personal political activities are his own, and are separate from The Charles Schwab Corporation and its subsidiaries." That's not how most consumers see it, particularly not when the company is named after its chairman.
Just heard from a Lending Tree spox that founder & CEO Doug Lebda, who donated to a pro-Trump super PAC in last election cycle, has not donated to any pro-Trump groups this time around & has no plans to do so. FEC records back this. Removing LT from #GrabYourWallet boycott list.

Women to Lyft: hi, we were kidnapped and gang raped by several of your drivers.

Lyft to women: Good news, women! We just unpaired you in the app from the drivers who kidnapped and raped you. Have an up-Lyfting day!
This quote from @Lyft infuriates me. This is PR speak for "we are not taking responsibility." For a company to invoke the sexual violence women already endure as an excuse for the violence its own drivers are inflicting on them is a SLEAZE move. theverge.com/2019/9/17/2087…
@lyft Anything short of @Lyft providing visibility into # of "unpairs" it takes for THEM to unpair from a driver won't cut it. Also want to know why Alison Turkos' driver wasn't immed. suspended & investigated. More details, more transparency or only thing i'll be Lyfting is a finger.
