This doesn't mention the racism of the sexual harassment allegations which the woke DSA uncritically signal boosted. Apparently he created a "toxic work environment" yeah sure ok Karen! Radlibs who parrot rhetoric about "brown people are rapists who party with gangbangers" are totally not toxic

The sexual harassment narrative started when a white woman from Washington D.C. sent a racially coded tweet accusing Shahid of sexual harassment with no details. That is a serious allegation to make if you are not going to describe it. The tweet also followed up by saying that Shahid was friends with a gangbanger, a term often used to assert a power structure by white women making accusations against Black and Brown men. I was falsely accused of participating in gang activity and had to fight it for two years.

In response to the allegations, with no proof offered, I watched a bunch of white women in DSA SF rush to stand with her without even looking into the allegations. One woman even told me that in just questioning it that I would go down with a sinking ship.

the DSA has solidarity with Karens, i wonder why a labor aristocrat org would do that?

      Which is what he did in 2016, when he ran a ridiculous astroturf campaign that convinced people to protest in front of Apple stores around the country in defense of Apple. That’s right: in defense of Apple, one of the richest and most powerful corporations in the world.

      This is a really weird way of characterizing a protest where the issue at hand was whether or not the FBI should have a backdoor into iPhones.

        I like Yasha, but he can be a serious crank at times for no reason other than for being a crank, and including that unsourced "quote from a friend" at the end is some bullshit he would criticize the media for doing with a Russia story. The truth of Buttar probably lies somewhere in the middle between being a corporate stooge and being a well-intentioned yet naive lib who thinks he's actually doing good by working for the EFF.
