@beyondreasdoubt They don't. But they don't care.

Khanna says that Democrats should respect the women who came forward to talk about Platner while understanding that he changed and that veterans were “broken” in stupid wars.

Faux neutrality won't get corporate America back to neutral. Rather, "vote against management or shareholder proposals that seek to advance ... DEI and ESG, and ... vote for proposals that eliminate such existing policies." via @ThePolForum https://t.co/CpYfyOnBgh

"Noticing" and "attacking" are different things.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The Trump administration is attacking our democracy. Not in secret, but openly on social media.

Starmer needs to show some backbone and call this out today. We can’t turn a blind eye to this blatant interference any longer.

Democratic strategist, to NY Mag: "Are we going to see pictures of Graham Platner’s penis before this is all over? I think we almost certainly will."

@walterkirn @LtotheL2 The question isn't "where are they going." It's "where are their assets going?"

Not sure what kind of men you hang out with, but...nope.

[Evan Barker @evanwch]

Every man out there (if they’re being honest) is reading this Graham Platner story and thinking: “gee, what would happen if the biggest newspaper in the country interviewed all of my exes and asked them about our drunken fights?”

That’s why this story ultimately won’t land. It won’t end Platner’s campaign

[Steve Soukup @ThePolForum]

I don't think that's what that says.

We're all in agreement, then? Platner was *always* a Janet Mills psy-op?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Three women who dated Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, told The New York Times they found his actions intimidating and disturbing, describing volatile relationships. https://t.co/ClaeKxVUEs

‼️Today, Netflix holds its annual meeting. There's a proposal on the ballot you need to know about. ⏬

After numerous politicized incidents and a *tremendous* amount of controversy over the company's choice to market sexualized media content toward children (highlighted in criticism from @elonmusk and @libsoftiktok), the company is facing a proposal on its ballot asking for a risk assessment of these practices. It's been a rocky road to get there. To date, Netflix has:

🔴 Canceled a meeting with us to discuss shareholder concerns the day we wrote a piece about the issue in @TheHill (read below)
🔴 In its opposition to our proposal, asserted that its "branding and marketing strategies... are integral to its business model" without explaining how marketing sexualized content to children might... hurt that business model.
🔴 Provided zero substantive response to shareholder concerns about promoting highly controversial narratives surrounding gender ideology and sexual activity to young audiences.

Netflix is choosing to cancel meetings and ignore shareholder concerns about marketing content with gender ideology to children of all ages. This proposal about Netflix will be voted on at the company's annual meeting later today. How will you be voting on it?

🔥 Our National Chair @UtahTreasurer Marlo Oaks put it perfectly:

"Retirement assets exist to fund pensions, not politics."

ExxonMobil shareholders just proved the point, delivering a 71% supermajority vote to reincorporate in Texas and choosing fiduciary duty over activist agendas.

Good stuff here from Nebraska's SFOs.

[State Financial Officers Foundation @SFOF_States]

🚨 Nebraska Auditor Mike Foley and @NeTreasurer Joey Spellerberg are sounding the alarm:

Abstaining on shareholder votes isn't neutral; it's a gift to activists.

While states like CA and NY use proxy voting to advance political agendas, Nebraska's current policy effectively silences a $45 BILLION shareholder voice.

Fiduciaries shouldn't sit on the sidelines. Every proxy should be evaluated on one standard: long-term value for retirees and taxpayers.

A 78-page plan reviewed by The Daily Wire shows how the Biden administration was planning to make affirming transgenderism the national standard within child welfare services without having to pass a single law.

[Financial Issues @financialissues]

Is ESG losing its influence in Corporate America? @StefanPadfield joins Financial Issues to discuss the growing pushback against ESG initiatives, why many companies are rethinking their approach, and the importance of evaluating whether ESG programs actually deliver measurable results.

The discussion also explores how investors can distinguish between genuine corporate change and simple rebranding as some companies move away from ESG and DEI initiatives.
