Google gave Devin Nunes a $5000 campaign donation on November 12. 
Darin LaHood was one of 19 state senators to vote against a ban on gay conversion therapy in 2015. He's a cogressman now and Google, a vocal corporate supporter of #pride, gave him a $2,500 donation on November 12.
Defending a proposal to cut access to the SNAP program (food stamps), Texas Rep. Jodey Arrington cited the biblical passage Thessalonians 3-10. "We give you this rule, 'If a man will not work he shall not eat.'" Google gave him $2000 he didn't work for on November 12.
Senator Mike Braun is a staunch opponent of same-sex marriage, and Google is a vocal #pride sponsor. Yet this unlikely pair found each other, and Google has made things official with a $1000 campaign donation... in a year Braun isn't even running! He's up in 2024.
These donations are made out of paycheck dedutions. If you work at Google, you can go down this list of donors and ask your coworkers if they realize where their money is being spent. Just be careful; Google has fired 5 people for organizing since November docquery.fec.gov/pdf/680/201912…
More from the filing: Rep. Jackie Walorski pushed to have a discriminatory "religious freedom" amendment tacked on to a 2016 defense bill, and voted in support of Trump's transgender ban. Google gave her $3000 on November 12.
Republican hardliner David Schweikert famously used queer-baiting tactics to secure his contested primary in 2012 (see excerpt), and has been struggling to fundraise this year. Google helped him out with $2,000.
You can't boycott Google (you're not the customer), you can't avoid their monopoly power, Congress won't regulate them, the employees refuse to organize, the founders have left, and the company's message for us each month with these egregious donations is simple: "sit and spin".
@SFPride There's so much residual fondness for Google, especially among employees. It's like if they replaced the singer in your favorite band with a Pfizer executive; you'd buy another couple of albums out of desperate hope. But people need to look the situation honestly in the face.
