      Today, we filed suit with @GellerLawyers on behalf of @julibriskman, an American who exercised her free speech right to criticize the President and was punished for it. Read more here. https://protectdemocracy.org/briskman-v-akima/ …

      .@julibriskman raised her middle finger at Trump and her employer, a government contractor, fired her for fear that her criticism of the current administration would lose them business. That is unlawful and un-American.

          A victory for @julibriskman would be a victory for our democracy. Autocratic capture is real and government contractors should not be allowed to curry favor from the government by firing employees who dissent.https://protectdemocracy.org/briskman-v-akima/autocratic-capture-threatens-democracy/ …

          It’s called “autocratic capture” he said. And it happens in countries like Turkey, Russia, Egypt, Hungary, and Thailand, where the private sector helps silence dissent because it’s good for business, Kistler said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-woman-who-got-fired-for-flipping-off-president-trump-just-sued-her-former-employer/2018/04/04/64c7376c-3840-11e8-acd5-35eac230e514_story.html?utm_term=.1d2f3ed7bb00 …

          What happened to @julibriskman is similar to what @adamdavidson described last week and what we call "autocratic capture"https://twitter.com/adamdavidson/status/980070648688119808 …

          I know we're all numb, but this is very serious. This is not just a comment. It is an important economic act that is restructuring our economy. Trump is making clear that companies that publicly praise him can get billion dollar deals from govt agencies. 1/ https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980065419632566272 …
