Jamil Smith works for the Melissa Harris Perry show on MSNBC so it should come as no surprise that self-awareness isn’t one of his strong suits. He probably thought this was a very serious and contemplative tweet.
I wonder how many careers exist in which you can turn your back on your boss while she or he speaks, and never fear you'll lose your job.

@JamilSmith Outside of every public-sector union career?

The case against public-sector unions MT @JamilSmith: How many careers can you turn back on boss as he speaks with no fear of losing job?

Probably ANY union job.

@JamilSmith @OccupyCleveland #NYC Mayor is technically NOT the boss of cops. Mayor exit after 4 or 8 yrs. #NYPD turn backs on @BilldeBlasio

@faineg In disagreement with the boss, not defiance. He hasn't forbidden it. We accept riot as legit expression, tho illegal. Why not this?

Smith’s Twitter timeline has plenty of whining about public sector union-busting too. Apparently it’s perfectly fine for union employees to occupy the Wisconsin State House protesting a Republican governor, but turning one’s back to a leftist mayor is just wrong.

Heh. That blocked list will probably be growing today.
