"The widespread work mantra has been that you have the right to remain silent - anything you say against Charlie Kirk can be used against you in a performance evaluation. Matthew Dowd got fired for essentially saying what goes around comes around and Perkins Coie fired an associate for saying that Charlie Kirk was "one of America's leading spreaders of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance" - guess the firm didn't think that truth was a strong enough defense."
"What was it that JD Vance said again? Call them out, and hell, go to their employers? Shame that people have been trying to go to the American public about Trump being an abuser or being really good friends with Epstein to no avail. In fact, it seems like the only people who have really faced consequences have been the whoever has had the balls to say, "Hey, this guy isn't following the law!" And he's doing whatever he can to crush dissent:"
"I don't know, man, that sounds like an unconstitutional content-based regulation of free speech to me. And while it's true that ABC is the one that "indefinitely suspended" Jimmy Kimmel, the fallout has made it pretty clear that they only did so because they were afraid of pressure from the FCC: The head of the FCC said, on air, that Disney needed to "take action on Kimmel," and said,"
Workplace practices increasingly penalize employees for criticizing prominent conservative figures, with recent firings and suspensions cited as examples. A commentator was fired after criticizing Charlie Kirk, and a Perkins Coie associate lost their job for calling Kirk "one of America's leading spreaders of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance." A reality-TV personality made light of a national tragedy and faced career consequences. Broadcast networks have suspended talent amid perceived regulatory pressure from the FCC. The FCC chair publicly urged action against a host, saying regulators could act "the easy way or the hard way." Government jawboning of private employers risks amounting to unconstitutional, content-based regulation of speech.
