(If you're wondering why Apple doesn't appear in this thread, it's because Apple doesn't have a corporate PAC. They are proof by example that there is zero need for any tech company to make direct political donations. Motivated employees could shut these PACS down on Monday.)

If you work at one of these companies, I have two requests for you today. The first is to go in on Monday, speak with your coworkers, and together demand that this political giving stop. It doesn't reflect your values, it isn't necessary, and it's done in your name. Resist it.

My second request is that you take a portion of your very big tech paycheck and give it to 13 House candidates who refuse to take corporate money, from your employer or anyone else, and who will reform this corrupt and shameful system once and for all. https://t.co/axizk6LVlb

(Mad thanks to my librarian girlfriend for coming up with the idea for this thread, and doing the hard work in assembling it. Behind every beautifully curated set of data, there's always a librarian.)

If you work at a large tech company, won't you take a minute to go with me down the list of senators who just voted to confirm Kavanaugh?
