this is not an onion headline
a trans woman was suspended from her job at netflix because she tweeted about dave chappelle’s transmisogyny and he’s a multimillionaire whining about being “cancelled” you cannot make this shit up
trans allies cancel your netflix subscription and put this under reasons why (and publicly post about it) challenge
also here’s the links to the articles
Many in the notes have pointed out that the reason for the suspension was that this trans woman tried to attend a meeting she wasn’t invited to.
Note the way in which the language used to describe the situation invokes images of violence and aggression.
Frequently it isn’t “tried to attend” it’s
“barged in”
“tried to force her way in”
“shoved their way in”
“crashed”
It’s not just on Tumblr either, anywhere this topic is being discussed this type of language is being used to describe the actions of this trans woman.
But why? Is it true? Well it was an online meeting. How exactly one “barges into” an online meeting is beyond me.
None of the numerous articles written about the topic at hand mention any adverse consequence caused by this trans woman attempting to attend this meeting. Yet both terfs and “allies” alike speak of it like they know for sure that it was some kind of aggressive and disruptive act.
Regarding the tweets, a Netflix spokesperson has even said “Employees are encouraged to openly disagree and we support their right to do so.”
How is suspending employees trying to address their concerns with the people who have the power to change things “encouraging open disagreement”?
At many other companies an employee attending a meeting they weren’t invited to doesn’t come close to a suspendable offense. It certainly seems to me that this suspension is implied retaliation for the tweets.
The terfs were never going to change but allies stop doing transphobes work for them by defending Netflix and baselessly describing trans women’s actions as aggressive and violent challenge
Hey y'all want a fun update to the “barging aggressively into a zoom meeting somehow” story?
She was sent a link to the meeting by one of the corporate directors
Oops! Their attempt to set her up failed

Governor Wants to Prosecute Journalist Who Clicked ‘View Source’ on Government Site -
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson wants to prosecute a journalist who warned the state that a government website left school teachers and administrators’ Social Security numbers exposed.
Parson called St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Josh Renaud a “hacker” and vowed to seek criminal prosecution at a press conference on Thursday. Renaud’s “crime?” Clicking “view source” on a publicly available webpage.
“The state does not take this matter lightly,” Parson said, according to the Missouri Independent. “This administration is standing up against any and all perpetrators who attempt to steal personal information and harm Missourians.”
Parson said he referred the case to the Cole County prosecutor and asked the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate as well.
On Wednesday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that a flaw in the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education left exposed the SSNs of the department employees, including teachers, administrators, and counselors. Renaud reported that the SSNs were visible simply by viewing the HTML source code of the vulnerable pages, something that anyone can do with two clicks on any modern browser.

interesting new FOIA release lol (15 Oct 21)
I think a lot of yall are missing the point here so i’m gonna highlight it here:
The point is not “anarchism bad” or “anarchism is a psyop” if you read the article, you will see the FBI used Maoist papers as well
The point is “The FBI has a documented history of sewing division and exacerbating points of contention within the left in order to create conflict that either was not there previously or wasn’t nearly as serious”
It shouldn’t be news to yall that the intelligence agencies of capitalist powers don’t want the left united, strong, and concentrated towards their goals
