From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.

Nope….get it right….the Russian Asset is siding with Russia. Americans will never stop supporting Ukraine
Just think about this: The United States is siding with Russia. In the single greatest attack on freedom, democracy, and sovereignty in Europe since WW II, the United States of America is opposing freedom/democracy, and is actually siding with the invader/dictator.
Shameful.
Shameful.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Nearly 100 people across Texas and New Mexico have contracted measles, state officials say, escalating anxiety over the spread of a potentially life-threatening illness that was declared eliminated in the United States more than two decades ago.

Today, three years after Russia invaded Ukraine, I stand with the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom. We must stand tall against authoritarianism here and across the world.
