@msnbc.com - cancelling Joy Reid, Alex Wagner and Katie Phang shows all non-white anchors is not a coincidence. At this moment when "DEI" is being bastardized into something negative, rather than a positive "Diversity, Equality and Inclusion" this is the last thing viewers needed at this moment.

Not going to lie—as a longtime @MSNBC.com viewer, I’m bitter about what’s happening at that network, and I won’t forget it. BUT I do appreciate this moment—giving @joyannreid.bsky.social her flowers. She signs off the way she always does: doing the work and showing us the path to save democracy.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.
