@joyannreid.bsky.social is one of the few MSNBC hosts who invited me and let me say what had to be said. She doesn't mince words about the threat of Trump. She speaks up for Palestinians killed in Gaza. She's a blunt Black woman, so of course her show is cancelled. Not lost on any of us.

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Yes that is the accusation.

Today's Black History Month Spotlight: Elizabeth Allen was a renowned Black nurse that served in the Vietnam War. Her motivation for joining the war effort was noble. To support the under-served frontline African-American troops. Please read her amazing story. nursingclio.org/2020/10/15/c...

baseball!

“Cakes get done, people get finished.” is what my middle school English teacher would say to help us with the correct word choice, which was cute then but now it makes me want to write it into a mob drama

Cubbies off to a good start at spring training. Flying the W again today!!

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Its midnight!

Stephen Wilson Jr in Pittsburgh on Saturday night. I met Stephen earlier in the day at a coffee shop by accident. I suggested a song to him he hasn’t played much live. Not only did he play it, but he also dedicated it to me. Great show. Great artist. Go see him. Get his music.

Letter from congress that is incredibly alarming. Looks like #DOGE got access to #nasa and they use the word ominous. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Fantastic news. More countries should do the same.

Democratic women are the ones who are stepping up and confronting Musk and Trump.

Wonder if this new show made it? youtu.be/QjQlEzSlwNs?...

The Philadelphia Eagles 🦅 have declined an invitation to the White House to celebrate their awesome victory with this shit ass piece of shit. 💩 This is really America’s team, goddamnit

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

god bless the midwest

Wonderful!

Sheriff said he was "not acting in his official capacity," which means he gave up any claim of qualified immunity for battery and deprivation of rights.

Pilot raises safety alarms; Delta fires her on mental health grounds {Hired doc’s diagnosis: a woman who works, earns grad degrees, & raises kids is by DEF’N manic} Good: she won big in court Bad: guy who fired her has been nominated to lead FAA www.seattletimes.com/business/boe...

Legit don’t know if this is vandalism or a detail put on by the owner

The clouds rolled in for the grand planetary alignment. No snow, but they made for pretty sunrises this week. Here’s hoping Alaska doesn’t incinerate this summer.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

You can imagine if Elon answered his own email. * Sent out a funny new email * Had latest baby mamma file a paternity suit * signed up for a class to learn how to use a chainsaw

This is an excellent little podcast. Highly recommended!

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Wait, I want a hi-viz NCIS performance vest. Did I guest star on the wrong show?

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

All those that want Elon to visit Australia 🙋‍♂️

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

more Janet Mills less Susan Collins

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

I’m not a federal government employee but here are my ‘five bullets’ of what I ‘accomplished’ last week: 1. Pissed off JD Vance 2. Pissed off Elon Musk 3. Taped a hilarious convo with Hasan Minhaj (out next month) 4. Taped a great convo with Jemele Hill 5. Drank more than one chocolate milkshake.

"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" Eighty two years ago today Sophie Scholl was executed, aged 21, for her part in the non-violent, anti-Nazi group the White Rose.

One person did benefit from the biotech company AquaBounty coming to Pioneer, Ohio: the town’s mayor. His company bought land for $600K before the deal was publicly announced, then flipped that property to AquaBounty for ~$2.1M. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

Forgot to post the second sign we took to the Tesla Takedown, courtesy of my younger child

And for anyone who needs a reminder: it's STILL (and will always be) 👇🏼

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Minneapolis's newest bookstore is Inkwell Booksellers, at the HenCen building at East Hennepin and Central Aves. SE, which is holding its grand opening today.

I can’t travel there but I’m more than happy to amplify the message. Keep your hands off our libraries, fascists!
