This comes when Republicans claim Disney has no right to free speech themselves over Florida's bigoted 'Don't Say Gay' discrimination laws.
And the suit is being funded by far right wring billionaire Elon Musk
https://apnews.com/article/mandalorian-gina-carano-lawsuit-lucasfilm-disney-37be85aeaa856492e3d5008add8e5100 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Gina Carano on Tuesday sued Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co. over her 2021 firing from “ The Mandalorian,” saying she was let go for expressing right-wing views on social media.
The lawsuit Carano filed with help from Twitter, in federal court in California alleges her wrongful termination from the “ Star Wars ” galaxy Disney+ streaming series after two seasons over a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
“A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated,” the lawsuit opens. “Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character’s peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star.”
The lawsuit alleges she was fired because she “dared voice her own opinions” against an “online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology.”
Disney and Lucasfilm have not filed a response to the lawsuit, and representatives did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
A Lucasfilm statement at the time of her firing said “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Carano is seeking damages to be determined at trial and a court order that she be recast on the show.
The “Mandalorian,” starring Pedro Pascal, has aired for three seasons and is now being turned into a feature film. Several interconnected series also air on Disney+.

The lawsuit says Lucasfilm also hurt her future work prospects by making “maliciously false” statements about her. Carano, a former mixed martial artists who played the recurring character Cara Dune on the bounty hunter tale “The Mandarlorian,” deleted the post but it was widely shared online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag. Carano had previously been criticized for social media posts that mocked mask wearing during the pandemic and made false allegations of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. She also mocked the use of gender pronouns in profiles, listing “beep/bop/boop” in her social media bio. She said this was not about mocking trans people but a “Star Wars” reference to R2-D2, and the lawsuit calls it “a playful way to defuse all the harassment she had received.” But she alleges the issue led to the company harassing her. The lawsuit says Carano willingly took part in Zoom meetings with leaders of LGBTQ+ groups at the company’s behest with “very positive” results, but that Lucasfilm demanded a public apology in which she admitted “to mocking or insulting an entire group of people, which Carano had never done” and subjected her to other harassment over the issue. Carano said on social media Tuesday that Twitter had helped fund the lawsuit. Twiiter owner Elon Musk shared her post, adding that anyone else who felt they had been wronged by the company should “let us know if you would like to join the lawsuit against Disney.”

And so it was with Carano. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character’s peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology. I've never seen a lawyer do something like this.

>>1264649 oh, no, this dumb shit happens all the time, especially to drum up viral chatter about the case
the bar for professionalism is shockingly low, believe it or not
now, if they slipped this shit in without carano's knowledge and made her feel embarrassed by the lack of professionalism, that's another matter, but on its face there's nothing wrong with it
but we're talking about it, so i'm assuming it's a job well done
sometimes the judge will even play along; i expect many cheeky star wars references throughout this case

>>1264655 >>1264663 Every single one of the judges Trump appointed was selected by the Federalist society which is just an establishment conservative group that Trump allied himself with.
None of them hold any loyalty to Trump or his supporters and in fact a lot of the "Trump appointed judges" in DC are handing out the harshest sentences for people being charged with J6 crimes.
The "conservative" judges aren't doing shit to support Trump or his movement; meanwhile the "progressive" judges are willing to rewrite the law ad hoc to nail Trump and friends to the wall.

>>1264904 The CIA apologized for Mockingbird and promised not to do it again but there was never any sort of dismantling of the media capture infrastructure that had been put in place. Remember, they targeted the root of all newsmedia by going for the prestigious journalism programs in addition to buying local media sources through front companies. Of course this was long after the CIA's insertion into LA through its Laurel Canyon adjacent film studio where the Hollywood darlings moonlit in propaganda pieces. This coincided with the CIA's invention of hippy subculture through strategic promotion of bands comprised of military and intelligence officers' sons. Of course, all of this was indeed coincidental with the mind control research the CIA was undertaking after having hired Nazis responsible for the Reich's version of that research in accordance with their principle of weltanschauungskrieg, "worldview war." In fact Nazi war theorists wrote academic papers describing exactly the scenario of losing a war to protect Germany, submerging themselves in the victorious nations, and using psychology and politics to push Europe toward forming a union dominated by Germany.
Now that's real far-left schizo posting, get it right

And yes, essentially every infamous CIA program is directly linked to the Nazi legacy. Their first torture and interrogation department was put together at Camp King in Germany during the occupation so that Soviet spies could be worked over with the assistance of "former" Nazi intelligence experts who had simply switched from torturing Soviets for Hitler to torturing Soviets for America.
