@msnbc.com #MSNBC used to feel like a safe place--a reliable and principled refuge from the insanity. But now it feels like a strictly commercial endeavor that will disappear as profits dictate. It feels fragile, flimsy. Where are Joy, Neal, Alex, Steve... Who's/what's next ? 😞

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

This is stupid and reactionary. Change for change sake. #JoyReid 's energy, intelligence and forthrightness are what you #MSNBC need more of. Also bad news for #AlexWagner another insightful reporter. These people are not the cause of your ratings problem.

Biden should keep going with his pardons: Trump, Jack Smith & team, Mueller & team, and a blanket pardon for all on Trump’s enemies list for any and all political statements before December 25, 2024! Merry Christmas:-). Take the wind out of retribution/revenge!

Don’t remember hearing them say Biden’s 4-5% popular vote win was a mandate… but Trump’s 1-2% win? MANDATE!
This is an important point to keep in mind. And to make when others claim "landslide" or "mandate"

I love the vibes on here, but my biggest concern is that in our attempt to create a safer place we remove the friction and debate that once made Twitter great. Need to find a happy medium because there's some tough, yet respectful, conversations that need to happen on the left to fix things.

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.
