I once viewed the media as an adversary-until I stepped forward to speak the truth. Hard convos matter. @joyannreid.bsky.social is one of those fearless voices. MSNBC’s decision to cancel her show is a loss but silencing a voice doesn’t erase its impact-it proves why it’s needed. Thank you Joy Reid.
Always enjoyed you dialogue with Joy, and others.
Thank you for your voice. I just wish more people had heeded what you had to say before November 5.
FEARLESS.
I will never watch another thing NBC produces in any way. No more of my favorite Today show. No Sunday Morning shows...I will unfollow them on every platform. If football is on, I won't watch-I mean it. I am as white as white can be but this is an outrage and I can't imagine it is really 2025.
means people like Murdoch and Musk are afraid of her. THAT'S noble!!
Thank you for your voice.
You're welcome 😊
Thank you as well Olivia!
Yeah, all those years spent lying for the GOP I can imagine it must have been a real eye-opener when you finally got out from under that nonsense. Welcome to the fight.
You have not been silenced and I have no doubt we'll be getting more Joy, respect you both. Woman speaking truth is not new and unfortunately is as necessary and perilous as it's always been. Strength and support to the resisters. Thank you and be fearless or brave in the face of fear.💙
She hasn't been silenced, if anything they have freed her to speak volumes loudly. She can be outspoken now.
she literally made up an elaborate lie ON AIR to cover up her homophobic past before she went on to become the most prolific race-baiter of our time
Thank you for speaking up, Olivia. We know this comes at a great cost to you, personally.
It’s worse than just Joy They wiped out nearly every person of color I’ve read that they want to “give Repubes a fairer shake” Death How’d that work for the artist formerly known as CNN? Today: The Scott Jennings Network Unwatchable now
Hey, when one door closes, another opens. I can’t wait to see what is on the other side of the door when @joyannreid.bsky.social opens the 🚪 💥😊💥
Thank you for this, Olivia! I love that you shared about your experience with Joy in reclaiming the gifts of growing up as a latina. I'm glad we're on the same Team Democracy now. Thanks for your chtuzpah & spice! ;-)
You have learned so much from this nightmare that you have endured in your government service. It is good to see women like you standing tall and speaking the truth even when it is difficult.
Joy Reid will be missed!! She is honest AND direct! Please people. Support her.. go buy one of her books!! 🙏🏻
Thank you! Always look forward to seeing you on MSNBC. Please keep speaking out
you are both amazing! thank you olivia, for always speaking up for the TRUTH and @joyannreid.bsky.social is incredible. pretty SURE we're all going to follow her in her next adventure 💙
@joyannreid.bsky.social is going to do something great and I can’t wait to see what it is!
Boo, MSNBC
Thank your for essay about Joy Reid I read on your substack. It gave a real look into who you are and your personal journey. My respect for you has increased by an order of magnitude.
Thank you Joy Reid!!!
Thank you Joy Reid. open.substack.com/pub/lastpaig...
That's a sweet picture of you two, Olivia. . . ❤️ And the world is grateful for you coming forward with the truth. We appreciate your courage.
Totally agree!
YES THANK JOY FOR ALWAYS THE TRUTH💔💔🥲🇺🇸🇺🇸😠😠😠😠😠⭐️⭐️
I’m teary. Beautifully written, Olivia.🌺
❤️
@oliviaoftroye.com do you think there are any R inside who are fighting back? I don't see a single congressman putting up a fight.
Why did you get forgiven for the first time? You were one of his little imps!
Well said…for all of us!
You keep growing and developing your voice of truth. I am sure the evolution has been quite a journey for you and your willingness to openly share the effort with all is priceless.
If Joy goes independant, she won't need to hold anything back. Watch the R's goes ape shit
I signed off on MSNBC. Sorry Rachel.
Amen
This irritates me so much! For her to win the NAACP award and then get fired is such bs. She is excellence personified. MSNBC blew it big time with this decision. All you really need to know to understand what’s going on at MSNBC is that they fired Joy , but kept Morning Joe🤬 I wish her the best.
So many on MSNBC being cancelled or demoted at a time we need strong voices to counter all the lies from Trump gov.
So all the departed today are NOT WHITE . OMG .. I think that Rachel , Lawrence, Chris , other WHITE anchors should QUIT .. just bloody QUIT . There is no reason to keep the TV on that channel anymore . BOYCOTT MSNBC , they are sucking trump’s toes , FFS !
THEY MADE HER CRY! DAMN THEM.
Joy Reid is gone. Good for MSNBC. She was very toxic.
Being truthful is toxic?
I finished your post and want you to know i think what is happening at MSNBC is the decline of valid opposition to the current administration. We have very different view points, but that is ok. It makes up stronger and better as a nation. Be strong and know the truth will win.
@joyannreid.bsky.social
I'm sad and so astonished that they dropped these excellent podcasters.
@joyannreid.bsky.social will be a pioneer expanding the reach of independent media, without compromising the truth. Mark my words! Also, frankly, it is a MUCH better fit for her. (She isn't corporate - too much intelligence, too much personality) 💓😊
