APPLE. Tim Cook tells employees the company is donating $2 million to fight hate groups: “Cook sent a memo to employees Wednesday pledging the donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The Montgomery, Alabama based SPLC is one of the leading groups that track the rise of hate groups. Cook is an Alabama native. Apple is also encouraging employees to contribute as well, and is matching their payments by two to one through Sept. 30. Additionally, Apple is setting up a system in Apple’s iTunes software to let consumers directly donate to the SPLC, which Cook said would be operational within the next few days.”

DANA NESSEL. Lawyer who fought state’s ban on same-sex marriage running for Michigan Attorney General. “Dana Nessel, a Democrat from Plymouth, became the first candidate to enter the race to succeed Republican Bill Schuette, who vigorously defended the 2004 voter-approved ban and is expected to run for governor. She announced her campaign alongside her wife, their two children and supporters in an area of Ann Arbor where Nessel celebrated two years ago with clients Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer in the aftermath of their victory at the U.S. Supreme Court.”
