Thank goodness our federal judges are stepping into the breach and protecting us from these madmen.

A news headline image stating, "Judge temporarily blocks firings by Trump administration during shutdown. Judge says White House office of management and budget took advantage of government shutdown in firing workers." Below the headline is a photo of a protest sign reading "SAVE THE CIVIL SERVICE, SAVE THE COUNTRY!" with an illustration of a raised fist holding an American flag, surrounded by other protest signs and demonstrators, including one with "IAI UNIO" and another with "STAND."

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”
Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.
