    Does anyone else not talk about that stuff on work accounts? They’re just used for work and I assume my boss and his boss and their bosses will all read everything.

      I’ve never worked with someone that effectively reads anything other than the title or maybe the first sentance, but I would also not use work software or accounts for anything I wouldn’t want printed on 20ft billboards with my name attached. That’s about the least secure place to do anything.

    to think, those fucking idiots thought they could bring down the US by flying planes into the twin towers when all they needed to do was wait for Republicans to get enough power.

      I mean the rampant islamophobia and patriot washing of conservative media absolutely got more pervasive thanks in part to those planes. Probably not the domino, but certainly moved us in this direction.

        it got dialed up, sure, but it was always there. it’s not like the US started the first Gulf War after 9/11. you were already moving in that direction for decades, 9/11 just happened to be spectacular enough to be an accelerant. they got to falsely justify more atrocities faster.

    My God NBC can’t even put the important fact in the headline? It was a political firing. Maybe they broke some rules but they weren’t fired for breaking the rules. They were fired because of the person that they were targeting.

    Sounds like they specifically targeted the gay and trans groups, which is infuriating but can’t possibly be surprising. They’ll be coming for any group that had their own chat rooms – minorities, Muslims, whatever.

    This is America now.

    This is an excuse and nothing more to consolidate power, remove oversight, and sabotage the American intelligence apparatus on behalf of Russia.

    I’m going to hazard a guess that if they had been hating on trans people and culture, or promoting conservative values, in that work chat tool then they would still have jobs.

    We have a vibrant and sometimes political teams chat at my work, we would be toast if we were taken over by the magas. Yes we know it’s not private and do have also a group text. But haven’t ever worried since the whole organization is laid back regarding language and expression.

    If I worked for the government? Hell no. No teams chat, not even “how was your weekend?” Nope nope nope.

      Sounds like it was an app like slack or teams where you talk to your colleagues. That doesn’t seem like a weird thing to me if you are friends with someone at work you discuss your life with them.

        I had a teams app at my previous gig and I was very close with the people in that app, but if it wasn’t work related, that conversation happened over iMessage, not in teams where the company had access
