‼️This morning, detransitioner @ChloeCole delivered a hard-hitting message at @HomeDepot: it's past time for corporate America to take seriously the risks of covering gender transition surgery. ⏬ And the case couldn't be clearer. Chloe, who went through the process of medical transition between ages 12-16, presented a shareholder proposal from @InspireAdvisor, explained how her life story demonstrates the risks of these medical interventions. "Shareholders deserve to know whether Home Depot is subsidizing, endorsing, or being pressured into supporting medical interventions that many doctors, parents, and former patients now recognize as dangerous for children and teenagers. Based on publicly available information from the Human Rights Campaign last year, Home Depot's healthcare plan seems to include transgender medical interventions for covered dependents, including children. Millions of American families trust Home Depot with their homes. It's that legacy that makes it imperative to act now before the name 'Home Depot' is permanently attached to the sterilization and mutilation of children. Because children deserve to be protected. Families deserve transparency. Shareholders deserve to know what is being done with their investments." This is a powerful moment. In a few short years, we have gone from gender ideology being an often-unquestioned guide for corporate policy, to America's biggest companies hearing directly from those victimized by it. Thank you, Chloe, for your bravery, and to the many organizations working to highlight these issues: @ADFLegal, @1792Exchange, @Heritage, @AmericanFamAssc, @donoharm, @ThemBeforeUs, @EPPCdc, and beyond. This is how culture changes.

'POVERTY PALACE': How Is the SPLC Wealthier Than the YMCA and Planned Parenthood? dailysignal.com/2026/05/19/pov…

Looking forward to joining @BreitbartXM tomorrow morning in the 8am hour to discuss the Southern Poverty Law Center indictment and how this should finally be corporate America's wake-up call to fully disassociate from the SPLC. @BreitbartNews

‼️At @PayPal's annual meeting, we asked about its relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Here's what happened. ⏬ It's a standout case. PayPal has reportedly used SPLC to guide corporate policies, including ones pertaining to acceptable use. In 2022, @ADFLegal described this relationship as "reliance... on the word of one of the most notoriously dishonest activist groups in the country." After the assassination of @charliekirk11, shareholders such as @Heritage and @DavidBahnsen began pushing for answers from companies that rely on the SPLC's metrics for corporate policies in acceptable use, charitable eligibility, and beyond. This was a major corporate engagement initiative: was SPLC guidance leading to exclusions of religious/right-of-center organizations from charitable eligibility? What was the risk calculus actually being done? Some companies, like Salesforce and Texas Instruments, responded constructively to this engagement from shareholders and partner orgs such as @1792Exchange, cutting SPLC ties as a result. Others did not: Starbucks and Amazon were key examples. Another example: PayPal. PayPal refused to answer our question about SPLC metrics during the meeting. These concerns will only grow - as the SPLC becomes even more discredited (@Tyler2ONeil @greg_scott), and as PayPal continues to elicit scrutiny over DEI (see the company's recent $30M DOJ settlement @TheJusticeDept @DAGToddBlanche @HarmeetKDhillon), investors are right to demand answers about this clear and growing source of corporate politicization.
