#4I think a key phrase here is "he was dismissed for publicly challenging a colleague’s silence".
In other words, he publicly harassed a colleague who (for what could be any number of perfectly valid reasons) preferred not to publicly state their beliefs.

Agree completely. This whole harass people for not being vocal enough in their endorsement of the cause smacks of authoritarianism and I think will backfire spectacularly. People resent being made to say something out of fear.

#9Dear Mark Zuckerberg,
Please use the power you have over the facebook platform, including that overseas in countries in Africa, and India to change the outcome of the US election this year so Trump loses.
Then after the other countries too. With great power comes great responsibility, Zuck.
