1- This is chilling..👇🏽

Notable excerpts follow.

2- "And, until recently, I have always felt encouraged to bring my full self to work—including my political advocacy."

"That advocacy has always focused on kids."

Who could attack this?

(Stay tuned)

3- "Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down. This didn’t seem at all controversial to me. I felt—and still do—that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk,.."

Many others thought this.

4- "In the summer of 2020, I finally got the call. “You know when you speak, you speak on behalf of the company,” our head of corporate communications told me, urging me to pipe down. I responded: “My title is not in my Twitter bio."

It gets worse.

5- Free speech and political advocacy is good, if it's free speech and political advocacy we the woke corporation approves of.

6- " I met with the mayor’s office, and eventually uprooted my entire life in California—I’d lived there for over 30 years—and moved my family to Denver so that my kindergartner could finally experience real school."

Fortunately she could do this. Many parents cannot.

7- "National media picked up on our story, and I was asked to go on Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox News. That appearance was the last straw."

Oh the horror, appearing on @IngrahamAngle

8- "The comments from Levi’s employees picked up—about me being anti-science; about me being anti-fat (I’d retweeted a study showing a correlation between obesity and poor health outcomes);.."

We promote drugs but won't promote diet and exercise. So FUBAR.

9- "They also castigated me for my husband’s Covid views—as if I, as his wife, were responsible for the things he said on social media."

This is a dynamic of #CancelCulture that is especially chilling.

10- "Meantime, the Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the company asked that I do an “apology tour.”

This is so gross.

11- "In the fall of 2021, during a dinner with the CEO, I was told that I was on track to become the next CEO of Levi’s .. The only thing standing in my way, he said, was me. All I had to do was stop talking about the school thing."

In other wods, sell your soul.

12- Good for Jennifer, but as @awstar11 pointed out, how many parents just trying to raise their families are not in position to say f*** you to the horrible mandates, consorship, etc.?

13- "It’s (Levi's) trapped trying to please the mob—and silencing any dissent within the organization.. like so many other American companies: held hostage by intolerant ideologues who do not believe in genuine inclusion or diversity."

Well, @LEVIS you just lost a customer.

14- "But today I’m trading in my job at Levi’s. In return, I get to keep my voice."

What an awful cesspool of conformity woke big corporations have become.
