@realcaseyrollins Boycott #Sony.. Sony is an #ALEC member.
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo What's #ALEC?
@realcaseyrollins #ALEC is an extreme right-wing superPAC and policy writer bent against public healthcare, public education, women's rights, workers rights, etc. They fight gun control and write bills for the #NRA. They support private prisons. More here: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=American_Legislative_Exchange_Council /cc @jeroenpraat

I'm assuming by "women's rights" you mean abortion, right?
@jeroenpraat
@realcaseyrollins @jeroenpraat yes, as well as #affirmativeAction & maternity/paternity leave. https://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/Parental_Consent_For_Abortion_Act_Exposed https://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_Exposed https://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/Public_Employees_Portable_Retirement_Option_(PRO)_Act_Exposed
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @jeroenpraat What's the advantage of "defined benefit plans" over "defined contribution plans"? I'm not well versed in this and am unaware of the pros and cons of each.
@realcaseyrollins @jeroenpraat actually I referenced the article too hastily.. I don't know the defined benefit vs. defined contribution differences. There may be no case for ALEC hindering maternity; sorry about that.
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @jeroenpraat np. I'll definitely look into #ALEC myself when I get some time.
They definitely champion lots of causes I agree with, but from what I've heard about them, they might be doing some very shady stuff on the side. Definitely worth checking out.
Seriously y'all, what's goin on? Any news that went down today that I should know about? Or just anything interesting poppin' off on the fedi?
