If this news is that critical to have people embroiled, these fired people should be able to start their own diverse, equitable and inclusive news sources, right?

I'll wait for Benji to critically look at this then give his opinion that way I can mirror it like a good little boot licker.
Echoes has done more damage to the autistic community than rain man did.

Yeah, Yasssss kween Kyuuji swore to never get Cyberpunk 2077, how transphobic the game truly is and had a complete hatred boner to BlackChambers but suddenly before launch day got the game thanks to someone who "gifted" him the game and even use the download and play the game a day early trick by switching to New Zealand or something. Multi plat the game and wouldn't shut up how much he loves it despite saying it was still transphobic.

That was actually a talking point from some leftists in Mexico.
Is not like the cartels aren’t capable of doing this… but it would be weird doing it in the U.S.
And Trump DHS is not above lying to try to justify ICE.

the cartels and trump are working together to create a perfect storm where a leftist actually thinks this is real, kills an ICE agent, and Trump uses it to crack down even more while giving the blind eye to cartels to continue smuggling drugs into the US.
Except when ICE need a photo op so they stage a bust.
Trust me.
I'm laughing at someone suggesting that planetsmasher requested a ban. I wonder where he lives and what the murder rate is there 🗡️🔪

Later on I get called into a managers office, he sounds serious, I wonder if I'm in trouble and it turns out they're laying off one of the people I work with.
And the conversation about it felt gross. So I get a raise. And I'm in so much debt I can't even pretend like I'm considering taking a moral stance here. I never asked why, but I suppose they're not satisfied with her and they feel like I'll pick up the slack. They said numerous times, we're able to do this because you're here, which I don't know how they wanted me to take that.
Logistically it's confusing because she's in the middle of several projects. I'm still learning this stuff and then I have to take it over. I'm not proven at this job at all yet. But next week it'll have been three months so maybe they were waiting for that.
Personally, she's about to get married. People from the office are invited to the wedding. The honeymoon PTO is scheduled. And we were literally planning a shower for her. And then on top of that I'm playing her in fantasy football this week.
And then that all calls into question my relationship and dynamic with the team lead because I legitimately thought they were friends and management made it seem like she's been psyched for this. So can I trust her going forward?
I do wonder if she knows something is up because her goodbye to me today was also a little weird. Normally it's just see you tomorrow or next week, but this was I'll see you eventually or something like that.
A lot of it's just business talk, but how does this not feel personal. I'm not a replacement. They're doing all this technical stuff and I'm literally coloring PowerPoint.
________
On another note, selfishly speaking, I feel like I'm set to make too much money to be as broke as I am. Like people roll their eyes at six figure people saying they live check to check, but until you make all that money, you're only getting a little at a time. I don't make THAT much, but three months in, I'm mostly paying off debt, but also had spent $2000 on car repairs in the last three months. I couldn't even cover the repair I needed yester
day. Thank you credit card.

Trust me. 
Publicly announcing that someone could make 50k by shooting an ICE agent does actually not seem to be all that much in the interest of ICE agents

Why would Trump care about ICE agents? The Nazi using his pawns to further his crackdown agenda.

I mean, neither being a bunch of scumbags with the general public or making proclamations of “cleaning” cities Trump doesn’t like.
That's how my co-workers feel when I talk business and things make zero sense economically I wonder if they're on a message board complaining somewhere

Man Francisco was a shithole until Biden cleaned it up for his master Xi.

Not having your car broken into shouldn't be too high of a demand
