Joy's final finale: "Much love to everyone who made #TheReidOut great & a special love shout out to our amazing #reiders, our audience. I love running into you in the airport & in these streets & on social media. I could not love or appreciate you more."

WATCH MORE: www.facebook.com/TheReidOut/v...

Must see TV! Watching now!

TONIGHT: Join Joy Reid for the final edition of #TheReidOut on MSNBC, coming up at 7 pm ET, #reiders.

Anyway, we should probably all watch The Reidout tonight. Let them know what they’re not getting again.

#weneedJoy I stand with @joyannreid.bsky.social - a clarion voice in journalism, Joy Ann Reid represents the best and brightest in the Fourth Estate!

MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show in Major Shake-Up (Gift Article) Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

@joyannreid.bsky.social - You represent the best of us. Your voice will NEVER be silenced, Soror! Never.

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her.

And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Don’t listen to the dudebro review-bombers: #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a really solid outing that sets up what’s coming well. A nice mix of intrigue and action. Harrison Ford is especially good.

Go have fun!

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Damn.

Opinion | Kendrick Lamar’s performance was as Black and subversive as all get-out His message at the Super Bowl was a warning and a threat.

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people.

But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people.

Well done.

Yay!!!!

Sam Jackson is playing Stephen from Django!!

Famous quote from James Baldwin. “Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

This has been preserved by places like the Internet archive.

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...
