    It takes a lot of courage to speak out against fascists in power. Not enough Germans did it and look what happened.

    If you’re a good person, you probably don’t want to work for a corporation that enables fascists. Hope this person finds a better employer.

    It’s good to reach out to WDJT-TV (DJT huh?) and tell them they are cowards. It’s also good to reach out via her public social media and let Sam Kuffel know that what she did has support.

    Oh man, those poor folks still on X, fighting and hoping that they still have the freedom of expression. Have they not seen any WWII movies? Just sitting around won’t do anything to stop the hate and what the President and his crew are up to.
