Those Who Were Fired for Speaking Out Against Charlie Kirk Are Finally Getting What They Deserve
3 weeks ago - And what was Bushart’s offense against the martyr? He reposted a meme in response to Kirk’s murder that quoted the president’s remarks after a school shooting at a high school in Perry, Iowa. “We have to get over it,” the president said. And reposting that under the comment, “This seems relevant today...” was enough to get the law dropping by in the middle of the night. (In a masterpiece of cop dodge, the prosecutors charged Bushart for threatening mass violence at school in Perry County, Tennessee, using a tragedy in Perry, Iowa. Such clever dicks, they are.) I look forward to the First Amendment marching on through the storm of nonsense thrown up by the cowards of industry and the snowflake-y snowflakes of the two-fisted Right. It’s such a tough little bastid. ... SCOTUS vs.

People fired over Charlie Kirk posts get big payouts for First Amendment retaliation
2 days ago - After the conservative activist was shot, Ruhtenberg wrote things like "live by the sword, die by the sword" and "you reap what you sow" and that she disagreed with Kirk's views about the Second Amendment. Ruhtenberg also said that "whoever shot [Kirk] should go to prison." ... Two days after that complaint, a right-wing outlet in Iowa emailed Ruhtenberg's employer to ask for a comment about her posts. The next day, she was terminated, less than five days after her initial post. Ruhtenberg had spent 15 years as a public defender for the state of Iowa. Ruhtenberg appealed her termination with the state and got her job back in November. The civil service decision that restored Ruhtenberg's job noted that only the single complaint and the media inquiry raised concerns about her conduct. State public defender Jeff Wright testified during the appeals proceedings that Ruhtenberg was fired because her posts were perceived as condoning violence.
