Stack of blank postcards and one front and center ready to be filled out for Jewish Voters Unite. Left side of each postcard has a checklist: American, Jewish, and Voter, all checked off. Right side has lines for address and a box to show where the stamp should go.
The front page of the Substack "The Vajenda" by Jen Gunter. There's a bright The Vajenda logo, a bolded title, a nonbolded descriptive paragraph about what it is in slightly smaller font, a colorful box that has dummy text that reads "Type your email..." with a bright pink Subscribe button. Under that, in a yet slightly smaller font, text with legalese saying you agree to their terms of service, information collection notice, and privacy policy. Each of the 3 terms are underlined so you know they are clickable. Under that, there is text that says "No thanks >" that will take you to the same place without giving your email but there's no way to know that without actually clicking it. The text is not underlined. I have circled the "No thanks >" in blue.
Package of 10 Dr Pepper Peeps is displayed on a metal shelf in a store.
When corporations take extreme positions, they destroy shareholder value by alienating large portions of their customers and investors. This proposal provides Disney with an opportunity to move back to neutral. From 2007 to present, Disney received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC)’s annual Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which can only be attained by abiding by its partisan, divisive and increasingly radical criteria. Though HRC – which Disney has a paid partnership with – claims the CEI is just a “benchmarking tool on corporate policies… pertinent to LGBT employees,” in reality, it functions like a social credit score for corporations. The threat of a bad score is wielded against corporations to force them to do the political bidding of HRC and others (like GLSEN, the Trevor Project and GLAAD, which Disney also has paid partnerships with that seek to sow gender confusion in children, encourage irreversible surgical procedures on confused teens, effectively eliminate girls’ and women’s sports and bathrooms, and roll back longstanding religious liberties. Receiving a perfect score on the CEI can only mean that Disney espouses and funds those divisive positions. Because, as clearly outlined in the CEI criteria, not advancing those efforts prevents companies from receiving a perfect score, as Disney continuously has. Disney disastrously engaged in such activism when it inserted itself in the middle of a divisive public debate over the Parental Rights in Education Act. And when a leaked video conference between Disney executives revealed that Disney has a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and was “adding queerness” to children’s programming. Consequently, Disney stock fell 44% in 2022 – its worst performance in 50 years – amid putting this divisive agenda ahead of parental rights and political neutrality.
