Sadly unsurprising. From the Popular Information substack blog Amazon: $974,718 to anti-abortion political committees Amazon CEO Andy Jassy claims the company promotes "gender equality and empowerment in the workplace, marketplace, and communities." On Monday, Amazon
WTF. Ok I'll add that the AccuWeather temperature-within-the clock widget on my (moto-Verizon-Google- connected phone) was running offensive right-wing ads featuring Tfucker Carlson and Fox Network. All I wanted when I clicked on the temperature was to know whether to wear a raincoat or jean jacket. I wondered who owned this widget and how did it get there and why am I unknowingly supporting this tool. Somehow I missed back in 2017 that AccuWeather's right winger Barry Myers was appointed by trump to head the administration of NOAA. "We fear he wants to turn the weather service (National Weather Service) into a taxpayer funded subsidiarity of AccuWeather," says Richard Hirn, Attny, NWS. Conflict of interest and privatization of a free government service rolled into one.
I read the same and sighed. No more Coca Cola. Along with AT&A and the most of the rest of them which I've already dumped. The only one that I can't seem to go around (so far) is Comcast. We're prisoners of Comcast in my locale. xo
Unbelievable! I couldn't make sense of it, and thought there must be some meaning of 'anti-abortion political committee' that is beyond my understanding of English.
TC, did your source for these figures indicate what percentage of total giving these numbers represent, or how much these companies also give to pro-choice groups? I doubt that any of them support only one side of this issue. And, yes, I ardently wish that they gave nothing to the dark side, but I learned long ago that that’s not how corporations work.
I've posted this on my FB page as well. but then again, I post everything. this was some brilliant research. my assumption about the whys of this come up with nothing except the old "give money to both sides so you'll have some skin in the game, whichever side wins" shtick. thing is, I STILL can't really figure out what these huge corporations can possibly be afraid of in this particular instance. but, as everyone knows, talk is very, very inexpensive. looking at what gets said, then what gets done, it seems every bit as simple as "everything to the left of the 'but' is a lie."

Always following the money. Talk and policies are cheap.
This is disgusting. Thanks for posting. I have shared on FB and Twitter.

Can't really 'Like' this, as you say, not at all surprising. Corporate mouths have long had more than two sides to speak from.
