Looks like Google made a $5,000 donation to an entity called "POINT PAC" on June 30. Hmm, I've never heard of that one, let's see where their money goes... [reposted with correct PAC name]pic.twitter.com/yuRiuY8b7B

Ah yeah. Google NETPAC is now making indirect donations to the Trump campaign. How long until they just straight out give him money?pic.twitter.com/TxDuLeIiJW
Drew Ferguson, whose leadership PAC is passing Google's money through to Trump here, is an Alabama congressman who voted against the Equality Act, believes abortion should be criminalized, and supported Trump's Muslim ban, and has been an enthusiastic proponent of a border wall.
Some of these PACs have a huge fan-out and give to everyone, but that's not the case here. POINT PAC has made $27,500 in contributions in 2020. $10,000 of that went to the Trump campaign. Google donated $5,000 to POINT PAC. It really is a (legal) pass-through donation to Trump
The amounts are comically small, because of campaign finance law, and a tiny fraction of what Google spends lobbying. So why continue to make these contributions, which humiliate employees and tarnish the company? And yet they do. They must have great symbolic value to someone.
Anyway, if you work at Google, my plea: really put your back into the internal memes on this one! Don't hold back.
Google's head of Public Policy is a former Bush official, they hired the former Chief of Staff in Trump's DHS as government affairs manager, they donate to Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Ted Cruz, Greg Gianforte, but employees there remain in denial about who they're working for
(Also their engineers are taught to overdesign everything and former Googlers go on to ruin every project they touch. I said it.)
Give examples of them ruining “every project they touch”?
