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?
@realcaseyrollins Boycott #Sony.. Sony is an #ALEC member.
@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.
