Yeah, I did watch it. For starters you didn’t acknowledge that Wall Street Journal wrote an article about how successful Schumer is with blocking Trump’s judicial nominees. 1/

Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Or would it be unseemly for an anchor to comment on a president’s cognitive state when it could matter?
For all the Jake Tapper jokes, it is pretty unusual when someone writes a book on a topic to not be booked to opine as an “expert” when almost the exact same situation is very relevant again. Jesus, Woodward and Bernstein are still dragged out to comment on every presidential scandal.
8/8 So we are to believe that very people who will not confront their racist family members are going to fight for Democratic Socialist Principles? It's laughable to the point that many of us feel you are intentionally trying to sabotage progress.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!
WE DID IT!!! 82 hours. 201,701 steps. Countless stories and supporters along the way. I’m proud, I’m sore, and I’m more certain than ever: Pennsylvanians won’t stop until we #FundTransit.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
How absolutely horrific. This poor child.

Easy to believe
wtf?
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
They don’t want to.
Velshi blocked me today too. For saying his job is to tell the truth to inform people’s important decisions, rather than to make people angry (the latter is what he said his job is). And/or for elevating agreeing with Black women he was going after.
Again, she was confirmed 50-48, w/ every Republican except Vance (wasn’t present) voting against her confirmation. Sinema didn’t vote but was an Independent at the time. Only Democrats voted for her. Another of Biden’s record 235 federal judges, shepherded through by Chuck Schumer, saving lives.

The biggest news story in the news right now is that the president of the United States hasn't made a public appearance or spoken to the protective pool in four days and the White House is actively lying about his activities, yet no news organization is covering it.
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

Someone please kill me right now.
It’s the naivety for me, hosting panels to declare their shock in a country that ripped Black kids away from their families and sold them as cattle during slavery. None of that moved some of you sufficiently to keep them from absolute power in the voting booth.
how do i explain to my kids two women being married?? how explain sun go away at night but come back next day? how explain magic rectangle show people talk??? HOW
We need every Dem governor to follow suit immediately.
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.

When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
The issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous people, especially women, is one that continues to get less action than it demands. Both here, from Alaska to other states, and in Canada. And feckess Murkowski is again, feckless. If these were white women... www.propublica.org/article/alas...

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
I’m sorry, WHAT?

Velshi blocked me. Lol
“I’m getting you kicked out of the Navy”. An epic and satisfying takedown you need to see:
🧵 1/ This is a great example of the issue that permeates every sector, industry, school, workplace...American society. "Expert" is deemed such for "qualifications". We know under this regime, Black people have NONE. "Expert" renders life affecting decisions. truthout.org/articles/exc...
You guys see where this is going? Right?
To read the 337-page transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is to be horrified, even enraged, by Maxwell’s brazen airbrushing of her conduct, and by Blanche’s placid acceptance of her rendition of events.
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

I’m blocked too after asking her to define the “new meaning” she referenced of the word woke. I have no idea what this response means but then again I’m sure she didn’t either.

On August 30, 2024, MSNBC hosted a panel of “undecided voters”, focused on focused on Kamala Harris & mixed-race Americans in NC. 1 of the “undecided voters”, was the Republican House candidate who ran against Rep. Alma Adams during the same election cycle. www.mediaite.com/news/i-didnt...
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
🤣 he’s staring into the ghostly face of Roy Cohn waiting to take him to wherever they’re going next together thinking, oh shit.
This Velshi quote is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read. Journalists’ job is not to piss a lot of people off, it is to tell the truth. It is to report to people important facts so they can make the right decisions.
Uh. How does it have a “new meaning?” - can you tell us the new meaning then, apparently woke vvhite person commenter?
So-called because “woke” is 1 in a long list of AAVE terms y’all stole and ruined.
Democrats. Democrats brought us every part of our social safety net. It’s not enough and it took supermajorities. GOP has never stopped trying to dismantle it.
No free pass is being asked for. Just common sense. It's funny how so many so-called Pro-Palestinian "activists" felt so emboldened to try to teach Black people about our own Black ancestors and elders and never once learned a thing about their pragmatism.
Nothing Kamala Harris said or did wrt Gaza in the administration felt like “thoughts and prayers” to me, but diplomacy is delicate and complicated, and this wasn’t going to get solved in public www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
You haven’t worked for Qatari state media in close to a decade. This president has mocked you for getting shot covering past protests. You can be realistic about what a minority party can do. Senator Barrasso wrote a damn op-ed complaining about successful obstruction by Schumer literally days ago.
DNC Chair Ken Martin continues to build off of the work of Jaime Harrison & just organized 30,000 vols to help successfully break a supermajority in Iowa w/ yet another Democratic win. In this same week? The incumbent Republican Senator Joni Ernst has let slip she won’t run for reelection.
Every time I post that someone is shocked to learn about it for the 1st time. Part of that is because it was collectively covered by ABC, CBS, & NBC evening & Sunday news for a total of 35 seconds from Oct 8th when she announced it on The View, through Oct 22nd. www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-ne...
The current administration has released munitions that the Biden-Harris admin did refuse to actually send over. Beyond reversing basically every relevant sanction the previous admin placed on violent settlers & NGO’s in the West Bank. www.defense.gov/News/News-St...
He is really, really not handling the pushback well. It's so obvious these people are not accustomed to Democrats actually fighting back on their bullshit reporting.
The unmitigated gall of these people to tell a Black woman, whose ancestral DNA is encoded to "create space for other people's suffering". 92% of us voted in the best interest of ourselves and others, including Gaza. And yet, they have the nerve to say shit like this to us?
The US media helped enormously in “both sides”-ing us into authoritarian fascism. MSNBC too.
I'm more depressed about American journalism now. I heard no respect for the audience, no mention of how media has eroded the public trust and how to rebuild it. Dismissive, arrogant, hours replying to say "I don't care what you think, if I make you mad I've done my job." I can't respect this.
"Fight Club" ruined every other movie for me. Anytime I'm watching something, I'm waiting for them to "Fight Club" me. "Are Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway the same person," I wonder aloud to the pitying laughter of those around me.

Ali Velshi blocked everybody Black who he interacted with. He interacted with me but did not block me. Suss.
This whole thread
We were underselling it when we said it was going to be worse. The catastrophic damage has yet to really rear its head. But white people, living under the protection they know from the baked into the system privilege, failed the assignment. It was an open book test but they failed to read P2025.
He/they “both sides”’d us into authoritarian fascism.
This is why I said to start before the inauguration. lol You would have been met with ZERO RESISTANCE BEFORE INAUGURATION DAY!! You would have shown them you were ready to fight. But nooooooooooo…..y’all sat online explaining why you’re not responsible for what most of your demos did. Wasted ⏰
Thank you for this needed cleanse!
Down-ballot Democrats barely exist in MSNBC coverage. Meanwhile Fox elevates every random GOP backbencher into a national figure. That’s a huge imbalance.
DONE with them after the 24 / 7 “Biden old” coverage following the debate. And I do mean 24 / 7. A constant barrage. A Russian psy op couldn’t have done better (ahem)
Thank you, @jaimeharrison.bsky.social for being in the trenches with us.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Black ppl are under attack. We are losing so much we died and fought for under this administration. We voted for ourselves and for the Palestinians on November 5, 2024. We stood in solidarity. And yet, they continue to shit on us. Now, we only have energy to focus on ourselves. These aren't allies.
One of the most important things healthcare systems across America can do to protect patients, and the workforce that attends to them this winter is to ensure #Covid vaccines are available to healthcare workers. That includes clinics, hospitals,and nursing homes.
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Awwww he’s sooo cute ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad you’re doing this. It’s good for everyone. ❤️
Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.
To me it looks like he’s looking straight ahead at nothing.
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
Brilliant
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
A very minimal amount of looking tells you he had zero financial acumen and wasn’t especially smart (a failed math teacher) and hussled/extorted/pimped his way to wealth.
But no medical care for 17 million Americans and no life saving USAID for kids. This “presidency” is a personal enrichment project.
MSNBC has made Trump the center of the universe, giving him endless oxygen while Democratic wins barely get a mention. That doesn’t build confidence, it feeds despair.
The media is why we are here in the first place
-- Won 29 of 32 SCOTUS decisions, including the Brown v. Board of Education -- Wrote over 150 appellate decisions, with zero overturned -- First African American US Solicitor General, winning 14 of 17 SCOTUS cases -- THURGOOD MARSHALL confirmed August 30, 1967 as the first Black SCOTUS justice!
