Charlie Kirk's Death Sparks Free Speech Firestorm: Teachers, Airlines, and Microsoft LOLing

Since Charlie Kirk’s unfortunate death, a bizarre witch hunt led by Trump 2.0 and sidekicks like Marco Rubio has turned free speech into "free-firings." South Carolina teacher fired for saying 'America became greater today,' with Rep. Nancy Mace cheering from the sidelines. Massachusetts, New York, Atlanta, and Missouri teachers join the leave-of-absence parade, totaling about a dozen within 48 hours. Meanwhile, corporate bigwigs like Freddy’s Frozen Custard, Carolina Panthers, and Office Depot are starring in a bizarre reality show of firing employees over Kirk tweets. Airlines discipline staff, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy taking a victory lap. Even Microsoft games devs trash Kirk and get Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella pinged by Elon Musk—because who else can save free speech? Washington Post and MSNBC fire journalists for pointing out Kirk's hate speech legacy, with public apologies and cries of media 'mobs.' DC Comics canceled a Red Hood series after the author’s Kirk-related posts. The ACLU calls it 'targeted harassment,' but political speech restrictions have officially entered clown world.
