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.

Sometimes on a Monday you just need to do some kōkō puʻupuʻu. She’s not perfect, but not bad for an afternoon/evening. 🥰

If it doesn't click with your intuition, it is not for you.
Say no often so you can focus on what you actually want to do.

Nah, sweetie. People have been talking about it for some time. Most of yall need to research, read, and reflect. Just because you're new to the conversation, doesn't mean it hasn't been happening.
