Emily, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

mily Wilder, a journalist and 2020 graduate of Stanford University, started a new job as an Associated Press news associate based in Maricopa County, Arizona, on May 3.
Two weeks later, she was unceremoniously fired by the news outlet after conservatives resurfaced old social media posts that drew attention from Republicans as prominent as Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton. In Wilder's eyes, her firing is the latest example of right-wing cancel culture.
"There's no question I was just canceled," Wilder told SFGATE by phone Thursday afternoon. "This is exactly the issue with the rhetoric around 'cancel culture.' To Republicans, cancel culture is usually seen as teens or young people online advocating that people be held accountable over accusations of racism or whatever it may be, but when it comes down to who actually has to deal with the lifelong ramifications of the selective enforcement of cancel culture — specifically over the issue of Israel and Palestine — it's always the same side."
Wilder, who worked with the Arizona Republic upon graduation until this May, became a national news story after the Stanford College Republicans wrote a Twitter thread Monday highlighting Wilder's pro-Palestine activism in college as well as some of her old Facebook posts. In one post, Wilder referred to the late Sheldon Adelson — who was a Jewish billionaire, Republican mega-donor and staunch defender of Israel — as a "naked mole rat."
Wilder, who is Jewish, said she would not have used such language today. Not long after the thread started to gain steam on Twitter, Wilder says an Associated Press editor called her and said she would not get in trouble for her past activism and social media activity.
"The editor said I was not going to get in any trouble because everyone had opinions in college..."

“Self-hating Jews”
I think they love themselves just fine. It’s all those other Jews that they put the hate on.
Now that cancel culture has started to swing both ways, it’s not nearly as much fun for the leftists.
Would you really want her making your food?
she can lick my toilets!
oh,yeah, it’s a line from ghostbusters
For AP to fire an anti-Semite is either accidental or a face- saving stunt. Either way, rest assured AP will find another one for the vacancy.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Good zinger, Chode!

Sure, yeah, because Cancel Culture is sooooo right wing. What a mealy-mouthed bunch of media liars. The Associated Press must have known all about her history, and knew all about her politics, which is why they tried to snake her into the Maricopa audit coverage -- the only alternative is, no one at AP or anyone else in so-called journalism bothered to vet her social media history. And no one with functioning brain cells is going to buy that one.
well, b1tch can’t code... so 8^)
“In Wilder’s eyes, her firing is the latest example of right-wing cancel culture.”
LOL. Israel/Palestine is probably the ONLY issue where a leftist view might get someone cancelled and ONLY if the level of antisemitism is so extreme that they can’t explain it away. (Consider that Wilder is basically the only journalist to have been punished despite all the negative reactions from leftists regarding Israel’s actions.) The rest of the time it’s either right wingers getting cancelled or lefties getting cancelled for things like sexual harassment or being a few years behind in their leftist thinking and failing the left’s purity test.

Does a fresh young Stanford grad start at AP?.
Years back a friend just out of UIC, worked for AP driving his own car with his own equipment and was paid not much by the word? He simultaneously worked for a couple of other news outlets.
