MEGA GOODBYE THREAD:
2021 was a weird year for Sleeping Giants.
2022 will be different.
Starting with the fact that someone else will be ultimately be running it.
The craziest thing about Lou Dobbs being canned by Fox News is that Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro are saying virtually the same batshit stuff as Dobbs nearly every single night.
This is phenomenal.
The more that people call out the hateful racist, xenophobic rhetoric coming out of Fox News, the better.
This vilification of anyone that doesn’t look or sound like them is poisoning our discourse.
From an interview earlier this evening, Mike Lindell tells Right Side Broadcasting that he was just told that
@BedBathBeyond
has dropped MyPillow. He also complains about
@slpng_giants
.
CONFIRMED: FUCKING FINALLY! David Duke, former GRAND FUCKING WIZARD of the FUCKING KKK was just suspended from Twitter.
We’ve only been asking about this for THREE AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS!
This is a concentration camp for children.
Who is the tent manufacturer willing to profit from this?
Who is the bed manufacturer?
Who is the company willing to handle the data?
Who is the food supplier?
Who are the other companies willing to detain children for cash?
JUST IN: Exclusive: Trump admin. has selected a US border facility near El Paso to build a tent city with 450 beds for migrant children. -
@NBCInvestigates
Today,
@facebook
, who is still ensnared in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, added Breitbart, whose owner and former President were OWNERS of Cambridge Analytica, as a “trusted” news source.
This scandal writes itself.
NEW: Ex-Breitbart employee (and former open white supremacist) Katie McHugh dumped a pile of emails from White House aide Stephen Miller to Breitbart and it is damning for both.
This is a massive story and it should be covered as such.
At any other time, Miller would be fired.
Today, we found out that
@facebook
ignored 455 reports about the Kenosha shooter’s Facebook group and still allowed it to stay up.
Facebook is an accessory to murder.
22 people in El Paso were killed when a white supremacist said he wanted to kill as many Mexicans as possible and Tucker Carlson says white supremacy is not a real problem in America.
.
@USAA
, as an advertiser on this show, do you endorse the idea that white supremacy is a hoax?
Tucker Carlson: White supremacy is "actually not a real problem in America." Calling white supremacy and issue is "a hoax" and "a conspiracy theory used to divide the country"
Tonight, Tucker Carlson said he DOESN’T know what happened at the Capitol a month ago, but he DOES know that George Floyd died of drug use.
Advertisers still sign their names to this network.
Brian Kilmeade says schools must re-open in the fall in part because "life is full of risks, kids should learn that early that life is full of hurdles, you've got to find a way to overcome."
@marcorubio
There are nearly 2000 fucking kids who were taken from their fucking parents by the fucking government that you fucking work for, most of whom haven’t been fucking returned. And you’re going to make a fucking word the fucking thing you make noise about? Are you fucking serious?
Holy shit. Really,
@Spotify
?
Alex Jones has been responsible for harassing parents of Sandy Hook children, Vegas shooting victims and threatening to kill the Special Counsel. And you’re now hosting his podcasts??
Black man: *Suspected* of writing a bad check. Killed by police.
White man: Pulls out a CROSSBOW to shoot people. Released by police.
And you want to know why people are protesting?
This is absolutely disgusting. And
@jack
is complicit.
The man who published her address & phone numbers on this platform was given a 12 hour suspension before being allowed to do it again dozens of times.
There are real-life consequences to
@TwitterSafety
’s shameful inaction.
"Dr. Blasey, who has two teenagers, has moved out of her house, is arranging for private security for herself and her family, and is effectively in hiding, the person said."
@slpng_giants
Of course. We haven’t run ads on Tucker Carlson Tonight since early May and have cancelled all future placements. We will continue to support those who stand against racial injustice.
Christine Blasey Ford is still being harassed, her lawyers say. She has had to move 4 times, she wrote last month. She has had to pay for private security detail. She hasn't been able to return to her job as a professor at Palo Alto Uni., NPR reports.
UPDATE: The calls for violence over on Parler are getting much, much worse.
There are now open calls for the murder of police officers and planning for violence on January 20th
This obviously severely violates the law, much less the
@AppStore
and
@GooglePlay
rules.
#PullParler
@GuardianUS
Guessing you’ll probably hear a lot of, “had to bury one of my parents but couldn’t actually attend the funeral,” but yeah, eating bread is probably just ahead of that.
.
@SandalsResorts
, as an advertiser on Tucker Carlson tonight, do you support this segment, where Tucker Carlson says that George Floyd died of a drug overdose and not police brutality?
@DrOz
You had a choice between presenting Fox’s misinformation or responsible medical advice.
You picked the wrong path. You should lose all of your sponsors.
This is a huge deal.
This week,
@facebook
’s “trusted” news source Breitbart is found to have been trading white supremacist emails with Stephen Miller.
Now, one of their fact-checkers, The Daily Caller, publishes a clip from a neo-Nazi.
Why is Facebook normalizing hate?
Almost four years of long days, hard work, sleepless nights, constant attacks by trolls, hard-fought wins, tough losses and endless stress and...Sleeping Giants Brasil passes us in followers in less than a week.
Congratulations,

Uber CEO on Saudi Arabia's killing of Jamal Khashoggi: "It's a serious mistake. We've made mistakes too, right, with self-driving ... So I think that people make mistakes. It doesn't mean that they can never be forgiven"
Please DO NOT CONGRATULATE social media companies for taking action on things that should have been done months ago and could have prevented extremist violence.
Honest question for
@AppStore
and
@GooglePlay
.
If Parler continues to allow incitement and calls for violence, doesn’t that break your Terms of Service for apps?
You pulled your advertising after Ingraham made fun of a teenage school shooting survivor, then you went back. Now she’s calling children kept in cages after being separated from their parents “summer camp”.
Your move,
@AceHardware
. Do you really still support this?
.
@pfizer
, as one of the few remaining advertisers on Fox News, are you really okay with their main opinion host telling his viewers that your product is going to kill them?
Tucker Carlson says women making more money than men leads to "more drug and alcohol abuse, higher incarceration rates, fewer families formed for the next generation"
Tucker Carlson: "This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will."
Got retweeted by
@aoc
today and you honestly cannot believe the sheer volume of hate, misogyny, vitriol, memes and utter garbage that has piled into our mentions. It’s seriously overwhelming.
Regardless of who you are, this should not happen.
@twittersafety
is not nailing it.
BREAKING: Just got an anonymous tip that
@Wayfair
has, in fact, taken orders for beds to use in child detainment facilities.
@wayfair
, can you confirm or deny this?
Literally everyone involved in this conference should do the same thing.
Giving a platform to a woman who implemented one of the cruelest, most vile policies in recent memory is such a cynical ploy to sell seats on behalf of
@FortuneMagazine
&
@FortuneMPW
. They should be ashamed
BREAKING: Hillary Clinton has pulled out of the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit -- a source close to the decision says she wouldn't share a bill with Kirstjen Nielsen.
It’s hard to believe that, night after night, there’s a show on a major network that vigorously defends white supremacists and extremists and not one major advertiser or cable company is willing to hold the network to account.
Hey
@TwitterSupport
. It’s been almost a week since thousands of users reported this tweet. It’s still up and there’s still a blue check mark on this account. As you’ve changed your policy, can you explain why it’s still verified?
Tucker calls into his show to talk about "what's it like to find out your wife is hiding in the pantry because people are threatening her." He was previously scheduled to be off today and tomorrow, per Fox News spokeswoman
You know you're a bigot when your neighbors put up signs that say "Hate has no home here" and you write a letter complaining that they're talking about you.
According to Twitter trolls today, holding an assault rifle in a crowd is defending yourself, but having a knife in your car is grounds to get shot in the back seven times.
Do we have this right?
Let’s try this,
@jack
. Since Alex Jones did violate your Terms of Service, but gets to stay on the platform anyway, how about you tell us what those new Terms of Service are that allow us all to do that?
One week ago today, we were doxxed by
@DailyCaller
’s
@peterjhasson
. Since then, we’ve:
- Added 11,000 members to our community.
- Been notified by over 20 more advertisers that they’ve left Breitbart.
- Landed on the front page of the
@nytimes
business section.
Big thanks, man!
Tomorrow, Alex Jones will scream about his ban from iTunes being political.
There are plenty of conservative & liberal podcasts that don’t harass the parents of children killed at Sandy Hook or Las Vegas shooting victims.
This was not about right or left, but right and wrong.
