Software company Basecamp announced Monday that it was a company focused on developing software -- not an entity that should try to shape Americans’ political opinions, engineer its employees’ personal lives, or take positions on unrelated public debates.

dailywire.com/news/basecamp-…
Basecamp is known for expertise in organizational management. It produces efficiency software, heralded remote work a decade ago, and wrote a book on "calm" offices.

Politics at work is a “distraction. It saps our energy, and redirects our dialog towards dark places,” CEO wrote
"By trying to have the debates around such incredibly sensitive societal politics inside the company, we’re setting ourselves up for strife, with little chance of actually changing anyone’s mind.

It’s become ever more stressful, unnerving, and counterproductive."
"We don’t have to solve deep social problems, chime in publicly whenever the world requests our opinion on the major issues of the day, or get behind one movement or another with time or treasure... They’re not our topics at work — they’re not what we collectively do here."

A MO school district told principals to create two sets of lesson plans: real ones, focused on topics like "privilege," and fake ones to show parents

"Prior to the pandemic you didn't send everything home or have it available... We are going old-school."

dailywire.com/news/rockwood-…
"Keep teaching! Just don’t make everything visible on Canvas. This is not being deceitful. This is just doing what you have done for years. Prior to the pandemic you didn’t send everything home or have it available. You taught in your classroom and things were peachy keen."
"Anything that could be picked apart I would suggest using this above approach… I wouldn’t throw it out, but you could just not give them access to the story.

When you get to Power Imbalances – You might remove the two examples and just go over them in class (same as above)."

As 'coronavirus' money rains down on cities, Flint, Michigan lends insight into what could happen next.

The city of 95,000 received $100M, but there was one problem: The water problem was solved years ago, and they could not agree on how to spend it.

dailywire.com/news/flint-cou…
That led to threats, accusations, a warning from the city council's vice president that the money might be coopted by a "crackhead" on the city council, and the promise to "expose that ass" regarding that colleague’s purported "homosexual activities in the penitentiary."
The vice president found bullet holes in his vehicles and police made an arrest after he received a threatening phone call involving city spending.

The council president says she's not sure what the city is allowed to do with the money, though some want to use it for raises.

The Guardian used 'breached' data to dox rank-and-file police who donated $20 to the officer who was cleared of wrongdoing after shooting Jacob Blake.

Twitter manually promoted the article, despite 'hacked materials' and 'personal information' policies.

dailywire.com/news/twitter-p…
There is no apparent news value to naming the officers, who were supporting the due process rights of a colleague and who had donated using the 'anonymous' feature. 'There’s no other value other than to make them fearful,' co-founded of the victimized crowdfunding company said.
Twitter actively promoted a story doxxing rank-and-file police officers (and financial info that was supposed to be anonymous) based on a 'data breach' -- one week after it blocked @WhitlockJason for tweeting the TOWN that BLM founder lives in, calling it 'personal information.'

Insane new audio: Remember a few years ago how Papa John was supposedly racist? A lawsuit says a PR company demanded $6M or it would 'bury' him, then a thinly-sourced story appeared in Forbes.

Audio suggests the company was setting up its own client.

dailywire.com/news/papa-john…
PR firm Laundry Service was hired to improve Papa John's reputation, but a secret recording suggests that its woke staffers were more interested in imposing their ideology, calling him a "sociopath," lamenting that he is "BFFs with [Mike] Pence" and liked a libertarian group.
The woke PR firm lost the Papa John's contract, and had to lay off 10% of its staff. Two days later, Forbes published a thinly-sourced story saying he used the n-word. The call suggests that the company was trying to set up Papa John before he ever made the remark.

Seemingly every newspaper outlet suddenly felt the need to convince Asians that they're the victims of "white supremacy." To do it, they rely on a group called "Chinese for Affirmative Action" that pushes policies that would harm Asians.

dailywire.com/news/narrative…
The group's response to Asians being viciously attacked is that they should be "partnering with African Americans in dismantling how they’re racialized and oppressed.” Promotes policies like restorative justice, which led to no charges for a black male in anti-Asian attack in SF.
Stop AAPI Hate/Chinese For Affirmative Action seems to know it doesn't speak on behalf of most Asians. But the media wants them to. “There are members of our community that believe more police presence, that will lead to safety," but CAA wants “alternatives to safety and justice”

Following Loudoun schools' enemies list of parents who were critical of school policies, a quasi-official school advisory committee says "WE CAN AND WILL SILENCE THE OPPOSITION," a promise which a school board member and schools staff amplified.

dailywire.com/news/after-ene…
1. LCPS tried to pass a policy saying "First Amendment… may be outweighed... racial equity"
2. Parents critical of racial policies put on list to "infiltrate, hack, expose"
3. Equity Committee tried to ban Trump insignia as "marginalization"
4. 'Silence the opposition'
5. ?????
The doxxing of parents by officials appears to have continued post enemies-list revelation. After one parent emailed the sheriff about the list, and copied school board members, her message — including contact information — was shared among activists.
