Be mindful of what you post — Employer could be watching

Anonymous
He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated."

I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?

Yeah, but they are kind of fun sometimes.

How is this not an egregious violation of the First Amendment?

And, for the record, 1) I think all political violence is wrong and hurts us all and 2) I think it is in horrible taste to celebrate ANYONE's murder.

But how can these firings possibly stand in a court of law? This is insane.


All businesses have a code of conduct, and if you bring reputational harm to the company, they don’t have to keep you. Ditto with a person that does not share their values. I wouldn’t feel comfortable working with someone who celebrates the death of another person.

And private companies not have to abide by the first amendment, that is the government only.


So you're legitimizing the policing of speech under the "free speech" banner of Charlie Kirk and are saying people are no longer able to do their own thing on their own time with their own social media accounts. Everything you say or do is owned by someone else. It's not a good look for anyone who claims to be a champion of freedom.


Have you never had a job, a real job, one with a contract and Human Resources department? You absolutely can be fired for conduct that happens on your own free time if the company deems it goes against their code of conduct and will bring reputational harm.

Some of the men who marched in Charlottesville back in 2017 were identified and fired from their jobs. This is the same thing.


Do you think that participating in a white supremacy rally is the same as being fired to doing things like posting a quote of someone’s exact words?

Sounds about white.


You are either very naive, ignorant, or have never worked for a private company, public school system, govt sector, etc. Good luck with saying whatever you want to post on a social media site.


No one said that. This is why everyone thinks that maga is so stupid. You’ve earned your reputation.


I'm not maga at all. I'm telling you that you can't post political feelings/beliefs if you have those types of jobs.


Tenured professors can't? What are "these types of jobs"?
Of course, if you have a Trump admin political appointment job, you can post whatever vicious lie you want.


Tenure exists exactly FOR professors to able to speak freely. Because professors who can’t speak freely, can’t teach.



This is what he posted:



Yeah. He deserved to be fired.


The firing is absolutely fine. Being retaliated against and/or jailed and/or threatened to lose his liberties by the president, Stephen Miller, or Pam Bondi is NOT fine because of 1A.

Not quite,


Just taking out the trash on the left cheering a murder.


Unacceptable.


I would expect the same treatment for the Right is someone like Ilhan Omar was assassinated. I don’t like her, but don’t like her, but I don’t want her dead. Anyone on the right who cheers for that should also be canceled.


Sorry to break the news but the right already failed to react in an “acceptable” manner to the Pelosi attacks and the Minnesota murders. Trump also is using security details as a political tool to punish his enemies by removing them. And let’s not get started about fomenting violence on j6 then pardoning the violence; as well as aggravating attacks on the federal judiciary (which has suffered assassinations and attempts).


If you can find ONE social media post showing a MAGA dancing, singing, and celebrating the deaths of the Minnesota murders, I’ll eat my hat.


What kind of hat will you be eating today.

Simple Google search:
Reports from June 2025 detail widespread outrage and condemnation of social media posts that mocked the assassination of Minnesota Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The posts, largely from conservative figures, spread misinformation and political jabs in the wake of the tragedy.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): The Senator deleted several inflammatory posts from his personal X account after facing blistering criticism.
The posts: He shared an image of the suspect, Vance Boelter, with the caption, "This is what happens when Marxists don't get their way". In a separate post, he wrote "Nightmare on Waltz Street," a misspelled jab at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.


That is awful, but he didn’t laugh and celebrate their deaths.

I’ve seen so many TT and IG posts of people celebrating Kirk’s death that it makes me question democratic values and their humanity.

I don't agree with the employees but the idea that Charlie Kirk was about unity is laughable. Just ridiculous. He was mister bait and switch.

Nobody lies and whitewashes their "heroes" like MAGA.

You don’t need to watch what you say if you’re on the right. Kilmeade said something on live TV that would have resulted in immediate termination and irredeemable professional cancellation if he was on the left, but nothing will happen to him. And that’s because one side has zero morality and conscience, while the other side allows POS idiots like Kirsten Gillibrand to foment a witch hunt when a colleague makes a crass gesture.

B) If that post is 6 days old it’s not even about Charlie Kirk
