BREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...
Karen Attiah773More to say soon... but. WE DID IT, Y'ALL. WE DID IT.
Mark Bjorge51You deserve this! But do you still want to work there? Is it a place deserving of and open to your abilities?
🦋 B34RS GYRL 💙28That's awesome. I would take a settlement and take my talents elsewhere for what they did instead. Bezos is a vile piece of scum.
Evan Urquhart23Congratulations! Extremely well deserved, and too long delayed.
Claudia: lesbian space merc19With back pay, interest, and punitive damages on top, I hope.
Pierre France 🇫🇷11Ok but would you go back there ? 😬
Mark Jacob70Here's an order for you, Jeff Bezos. Let's make it ultra-fast.
kate bush’s husband48Good to hear that everyone is getting their jobs back. No one should be fired for merely repeating Kirk’s words and describing him how he was: a white man who spread hatred and violence.
Peter Morley ♿️34Amazing! Your talents are being wasted at WaPo, take the settlement & your talents to where they’re appreciated as we appreciate YOU so greatly!🙏
Crowsa Luxemburg10"Court-Mandated reporter" has a nice ring to it
Doomer VonDoomington 🇺🇦4I don't remember there being a letter about all of the people fired over Charlie Kirk that a bunch of academics signed on to. But maybe I'm not remembering it right.
barsteward2Imagine how awkward that first day back is going to be!
BREAKING A private arbitrator has ordered The Washington Post to rehire the opinion columnist Karen Attiah, who was fired in September over her social media posts about the assassination of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It also ordered the company to compensate her with back pay.
Shana at the Cottage8Love to see it Though god knows if she wants that job back
Luxe Chronicles6Looks like @karenattiah.bsky.social just served up a whole load of wahala to WaPo. 😎 Loving it!
That Nerd3Private arbiters are notoriously anti-employee. There could be even more to this than we'd been told.

Sam O Yed2The courts are doing more than they are getting credit for. Even at the SC level. But there’s a lot of work to do. And the SC imbalance must be addressed. It must act as a non-partisan body, with term limits, transparency, strict oversight, etc. It’s the only way.
