not really imo. only here. 

syria visit, russia talking points alignment, snowden views i can't get behind

latest swath of firings against trans individuals make her non-starter for me, this is certainly a win for privacy, but she seems all too complicit in the larger political agenda against underrepresented groups

I’m Alex. No, not that one.

Currently a practicing LCSW with a focus in crisis response and involuntary behavioral health. Always open to questions in /amado

what firings did she do against trans individuals?

fired for trans discussion in a workplace chat for other purposes, not firing trans individuals

I can’t imagine what was in those texts and it’s certainly not what I would do.

BUT I honestly cringe when I hear the term ‘sexually explicit’ bandied about, largely because it’s a term that has historically been used as a tool to ban books and speech of certain groups

100% agree

not sure tho that immediate reaction should be to fire them and revoke their security clearances, and without clearances those people are fucked

From reports, I saw they were actively discussing sexually explicit topics and surgical procedures, which, I mean, what people do in their own time is fine, but it seems pretty reasonable that this is well out of pocket for workplace topics.
