I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

@msnbc.com concedes democracy to the dark powers of totalitarianism in an effort for what? You have yet again cancelled an honest voice who can think critically @joy.msnbc.com

This moment in history reflects a Hollywood adaptation of real world influences. Citizen Kane reflected the power of another narcissistic billionaire who controlled the President and a media company.

Need more education on what DEI actually refers to. Spoke with someone who thought it was a federal policy as part of the EEOC. Said "it never did anything for me" when I referenced their struggle for diversity within roles in the MTA.

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

They are seeking to criminalize integration efforts across public life. We must be clear eyed and direct about what’s happening here. We have not witnessed this blatant of a comprehensive governmental attack on integration since the Civil Rights Movement. slate.com/news-and-pol...

A South Afrikkkan billionaire with ties to hostile regimes has access and control of U.S. systems. I guess Republicans envisioned this with all their acronym and pronoun fears.

Every Democratic Senator voted to confirm Rubio as Secretary of State. Every one of them should publicly demand that Rubio fire this man.

The Democratic party vilified its progressives. Tried to appeal to non-existent Republican moderates & Centrists in the suburbs, while ignoring the fears stoked by grievance.showing the out of touch aged trying to fight a political game with butter knives.

This moment shows Republicans are more concerned with acronyms & pronouns than inflation. I wonder why? 🤔

"It was a plan to steal power through executive actions knowing that neither the courts or Congress will have the strength to resist them" @elienyc.bsky.social on Trump seemingly following the Project 2025 playbook. "What is Congress doing? Why are they even there? Is it for the parking?"

Some days I wonder if Senate Republicans, Grassley & Cotton among others, are either comfortable with turning their backs on their "god" Reagan, or just so hungry for political power & ambition they willingly betray their legacy principles.

He is not his father. RFK had a moral awakening that shaped his empathy and made him a better human. RFK Jr. Is resting on his privilege and alliance with a wannabe dictator lacking a moral center.
