Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared

Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.

Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

    It has literally nothing to do with the first amendment.

    The first amendment gives you zero protections from anyone but the government. All other entities are entitled to respond to your speech however the fuck they want.

      Oh ok… So I guess that means the National Labor Relations Act is unconstitutional (it’s not, it was upheld by SCOTUS in the 30s), because it explicitly prevents employers from firing or otherwise retaliating against employees for discussing salary.

      Or do you think an employer should be allowed to fire someone for that?

      Maybe don’t give this current Supreme Court any ideas given their blatant disregard for stare decisis/precedence, and Chevron deference…
