      Roger Marshall in 2017: "Just like Jesus said, ‘The poor will always be with us,’… There is a group of people that just don’t want health care and aren’t going to take care of themselves. Just, like, homeless people. …morally, spiritually, socially…don’t want health care.”

      Did Google give to Marshall? No, of course not, that would be unseemly! They gave $5,000 on June 26 to Point PAC, whose only funding recipient in 2018 was Roger Marshall.pic.twitter.com/TBYS4cgXoM

      Also on June 26, Google gave $2,500 to Mike Lee, who you may remember is one of the two senators who put a hold on aid to dying 9/11 first responders this week. Lee is also a ferocious opponent of same-sex marriage, in keeping with the #pride theme.pic.twitter.com/pNvV8qbKDA

      Google gave $5,000 to Eye of the Tiger PAC, Steve Scalise's leadership PAC, which made $1.1M in donations to Republican candidates last year. Eye of the Tiger PAC is notably one of the only remaining PACs that gives to Steve King, the overtly white supremacist Congressman.pic.twitter.com/KyVak8QnHf

      Google gave $2,500 to Ken Buck (disclosure: I fundraised in 2018 for Buck's opponent, as well as Steve King's), who has said "I think birth has an influence over [being gay], like alcoholism and some other things, but I think that basically you have a choice." So did Google.pic.twitter.com/AOgMifxuaV

      And finally, Google made a $2,500 donation to Alamo PAC, John Cornyn's leadership PAC, which gave $345,000 in 2018 exclusively to Republican candidates. Cornyn is also the Senator who (with Ted Cruz) nominated a Federal justice who said trans kids are "part of Satan's plan"pic.twitter.com/kapbQ5N5i0

      Some remarks about these donations. First, they are wholly unnecessary. Google runs an enormous D.C. lobbying organization and throwing a few thousand dollars at candidates changes nothing. Apple and IBM prove you don't need a PAC to thrive as a giant U.S. tech company.

      These are hard to read. I remember being a fresh immigrant and being wholly confused about what I was being asked to support, luckily I ignored it.

          I asked what netpac would support and was expecting an answer like "aligned with the EFF". They told me they couldn't give a specific answer, so I said no thanks.

          I will add that being a progressive I think this is an ethical fail, but even if you were a Machiavellian it's *still* a fail. How is Google's reputation with the lunatic right (aka 95% of them these days) working out?
