@Disney @mpaull @HRC 6. Chapek said that "Don't Say Gay" was just "one bill" in "one state" and @Disney should focus on making "inspiring content." Chapek claimed Modern Family and other shows distributed by Disney obviated the need for the company to make a statement https://t.co/L4Kus1zWFY https://t.co/AauLMHpP7w — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney @mpaull @HRC 5. Paull's email was filed by a lengthy memo to @Disney staff by CEO Bob Chapek. Chapek said @Disney would not make a public statement because it would "weaponized" by opponents of LGBTQ rights https://t.co/L4Kus1zWFY https://t.co/X23EdQiaFi — PolitiTweet.org

4. @Disney's @mpaull, however, was unable to promise any action from the company. Instead, he said he PERSONALLY donated money to @HRC and recommended that employees that were upset go see a therapist https://t.co/L4Kus1zWFY — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney 3. @Disney has refused to comment publicly on the bill A 3/4 email from @mpaull, the prez of Disney Streaming, acknowledged widespread employee discontent In the email obtained by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ, Paull called the bill "concerning and painful" https://t.co/L4Kus1zWFY https://t.co/gJPUTTFgfs — PolitiTweet.org

@Disney 2. A new analysis by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ reveals that, over the last two years, @Disney has donated $197,162 to members of the Florida legislature that have already voted for the "Don't Say Gay" legislation. https://t.co/cjPuJhjNl3 — PolitiTweet.org

1. @Disney has no problem PROFITING from the LGBTQ community. Each year Disney World hosts 150K people for "Gay Days" and Disney offers a wide-array of pride-themed merchandise. But Disney's solidarity only goes so far. Follow along if interested. https://t.co/cjPuJhjNl3 — PolitiTweet.org

Just now in the Florida Senate ➡️ Q: Do you believe that classroom instruction about LGBTQ people is dangerous?” BAXLEY (Sponsor of "Don't Say Gay" bill): “I don’t think what I believe is important. I think what’s important is what this bill says and what it does.” — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Still wrapping my head around the idea that the CEO of @Disney thinks he doesn't need to comment on the "Don't Say Gay" bill in 2022 because the company produced Modern Family from 2009 to 2020 and thought that point was SO GOOD he put it in a memo he sent to the entire company https://t.co/9dM5X6wQBZ — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
According to a piece in @THR, Chapek is "much more conservative" than former CEO Bob Iger, balked at issuing a statement in support of voting rights, & has donated money to Kevin McCarthy Chapek is "concerned that Disney might be viewed as too liberal" https://t.co/JHKfGtiS9Y — PolitiTweet.org

I'll have more on Disney's decision to remain neutral on a bill that stigmatizes and demonizes LGBTQ kids and kids in LGBTQ families, including more internal email, in my next Popular Information newsletter. Sign up free: https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney Finally, Chapek addresses the fact that @Disney has donated to sponsors and other supporters of the Don't Say Gay bill. Chapek makes no promises, and says only that the company will reassess its political giving strategy. https://t.co/cJkDVLNfYr — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney Chakpek says @Disney doesn't need to lobby or speak out against the Don't Say Gay bill because the company produced MODERN FAMILY and THAT SITCOM SERVES AS DISNEY'S STATEMENT https://t.co/Han2MLZqBk — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney Chapek says the Don't Say Gay legislation is just "one bill" in "one state" and the best way for @Disney to support the LGBTQ community is to ignore this bill and focus on creating "inspiring content." https://t.co/CWdVlMjfDE — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney In the memo, Chapek says that despite its decision not to issue a statement, @Disney and its leadership team "unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their community." Which is an interesting take on the word "unequivocally." https://t.co/hkr2FpBhHw — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
UPDATE: In an internal memo sent today and obtained by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ, @Disney CEO Bob Chapek tells his employees that the company has not made a statement about Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill because he is concerned about political blowback from the right. https://t.co/diBLJBbxTe — PolitiTweet.org

6. What's happening is the oil and gas industry is exploiting Putin's attack on Ukraine to undermine the long-term transition to clean energy. For more accountability journalism sign up (free) for the Popular Information newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

5. In Washington DC, @APIEnergy has used its considerable influence to block or weaken sanctions proposed in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. In 2014 In 2017 In 2019 In 2022 https://t.co/k4Cez9JRpg https://t.co/h9i48OzMMd — PolitiTweet.org

4. API presents itself and the fossil fuel corporations it represents as the solution to Russian aggression. But American oil and gas companies have spent years partnering with Russia, bolstering Putin's regime with a critical source of cash and influence https://t.co/k4Cez9JRpg — PolitiTweet.org

3. The CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, the largest shale oil operator in the US, said that industry wouldn't increase production this year. This is due to "demands from Wall Street that operators use their oil price windfall to pay dividends" https://t.co/k4Cez9JRpg — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@APIenergy 2. FACT: The current level of fossil fuel production in the United States does not reflect the industry's capacity but, rather, its desire to keep supplies constrained and prices high. https://t.co/k4Cez9JRpg — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. @APIenergy, the lobbying arm of the oil and gas industry, has ratcheted up its attacks on Biden, suggesting Biden was responsible for Putin's attack on Ukraine because Biden SUGGESTED raising taxes on BIG OIL and TALKED ABOUT a clean energy future https://t.co/k4Cez9JRpg https://t.co/3v9TNc4gxd — PolitiTweet.org

WOW The chief spokesperson for @GovRonDeSantis, @ChristinaPushaw, says anyone who opposes Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill is "probably" a pedophile seeking to "groom" 4-8 year old children. (via @CarlosGSmith) https://t.co/LJqpB5bi3v — PolitiTweet.org
