Technology company GitHub has apologized for firing a Jewish employee who cautioned his colleagues about the presence of Nazis in Washington on the day of the assault of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month, TechCrunch reported.

Now, workers are saying the word "Nazi" in Slack to protest what is being perceived as unfair treatment.

I can understand a company not wanting to have folks call other folks in the company Nazis simply for disagreeing with their political views, as that can create a hostile environment.

But in this case… uh… there were literal Nazis there.

the proud boy here who can't stop grabbing his crotch goes by the name "beefy" & was quite cocksure that his true identity would never come out. unfortunately for beefy, not only did i not take him up on his offer for a date, it took me less than 10 minutes to find his real name. twitter.com/socialistdogmo…

Speaking of Proud Boys…

the Guardian – 27 Jan 21

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was an FBI informant

Extremist leader repeatedly worked undercover for investigators after his arrest in 2012, former prosecutor and court files reveal

Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters.

In the Miami hearing, a federal prosecutor, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and Tarrio’s own lawyer described his undercover work and said he had helped authorities prosecute more than a dozen people in various cases involving drugs, gambling and human smuggling.

Tarrio, in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, denied working undercover or cooperating in cases against others. “I don’t know any of this,’” he said, when asked about the transcript. “I don’t recall any of this.”

Law enforcement officials and the court transcript contradict Tarrio’s denial. In a statement to Reuters, the former federal prosecutor in Tarrio’s case, Vanessa Singh Johannes, confirmed that “he cooperated with local and federal law enforcement, to aid in the prosecution of those running other, separate criminal enterprises, ranging from running marijuana grow houses in Miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes.”

Something tells me the other Proud Boys aren’t going to be super thrilled about this.

I do love the “I don’t recall any of this” non-denial.

ShivaX · 2021-01-27T17:06:10.249Z

You mean the dude that sold someone out the instant he was caught has a history of selling people out to save his ass?

Who could’ve known?

Menzo:

It’s pretty amazing. Cause I’m fairly sure becoming a CI for the FBI is a memorable experience.

Hearing the Dem strategy for 2022 is going to be to try to run against QAnon and the far right - my guess is they’re trying to lock in the folks who flipped in 2016-2020?

We need to go deeper. It’s civil war WITHIN a civil war.

Jason L Van Dyke owning the Proud Boys trademark tells you most of what you need to know about Van Dyke and the Proud Boys. twitter.com/willsommer/sta…

Will Sommer @willsommer

The Proud Boys could soon lose the right to call themselves Proud Boys, with the trademark's owner cutting ties over the Proud Boys connections to fascist groups. https://t.co/Bsgg2h2WDV

@Popehat I guess the lesson is: don't entrust your trademark to someone you will later fire for gross incompetence

Oh man, don’t they know that calling people terrorists just turns them into terrorists?!

If the Proud Boys dissolve, who gets the dildoes?

The Proud Girls perhaps?

The Somewhat Abashed Boys is probably available.
