they've updated the original blog post (and published a new one) to be specifically focused on "the company Basecamp account". (You can find the original text in the alt of the screenshot I posted.)

I'm... not sure how they think this substantially changes anything.
Asserting that the company should be a place where everyone "can come to work with colleagues of all backgrounds and political convictions without having to deal with heavy political or societal debates" ignores minoritized employees in favor of cis white ones.
Black lives are not political. Trans lives are not political.

Rhetoric like this emboldens those who are already in power and those who are trying to make them political.

This is actively harmful policy.
