People I thought would understand labor needing to be respected and workers needing to be protected just uncritically accepted the narrative pushed by a business owner just bc she's Black...power dynamics be damned, I guess.

"Once you cheapen a phrase like antisemitism… when you call Miss Rachel an antisemite, you're completely undermining the very important common struggle we should have against antisemitism.” Piers Morgan & I discuss Ben Shapiro's attempts to cancel anyone who criticizes Israel.

The illogical, emotion-driven response to your employees exercising their legal right is saddening, and you oughta be ashamed of yourself for falling so far below the standard of the organization you helped build, Morgan (@thetriibe.com). This isn't personal; I'm just holding up a mirror.

I know you're having some big feelings right now. However, it's not right to project them onto the people who turned your dream into reality. It's a slap in the face to say no one works harder than you and Tiffany when there wouldn't be @thetriibe.com without my sister, Corli, and Ash.

Without Corli's (@corli.thetriibe.com) reporting in the nearly two years she's been with @thetriibe.com, you wouldn't have seen the growth you've had on social media and your website. Without @tonia.thetriibe.com's consistency and award-winning reporting, you wouldn't even have staying power.

Ash's award-winning work in photography, videography, and content strategy also helped grow @thetriibe.com, btw. An organization is nothing without its people. The right leader knows they can't lead without anyone following them, and your poor leadership is making it hard for people to follow you.

No, I'm not a journalist, but I know that what Corli (@corli.thetriibe.com) is accused of shouldn't have resulted in termination. Mind you, she didn't even go to the event! It doesn't take a journalist to see that this is retaliation for @thetriibe.com workers' unionization efforts.

Is that so hard, Morgan @thetriibe.com? You easily wielded your power to control the narrative by putting out this goofy ass statement to your nearly 60K ig followers and terminating two people in less than a month. All we need you to do is use that power to protect the people you claim to serve.

Damn, all mfs want you to do is recognize a union. Unionizing isn't a personal attack; it's their legal right. If you somehow think this is a betrayal, then you must've expected my sister and her coworkers to continue abandoning themselves for the sake of your organization, @thetriibe.com.

Do you not see how absolutely fucked that is, Morgan @thetriibe.com? Hm? You can wield power, yet when people speak truth to power, which would be you in this case, fyi, suddenly you don't have any. You're being asked "too much." What exactly is being asked of you that's beyond the pale?

Knowing BW are uniquely harmed by the systems in place, you shoulda treated the BW who helped build this organization with the utmost respect. Instead, you shielded yourself with this shared identity and continued to put them in harm's way, sometimes by your own hand, Morgan (@thetriibe.com).

Mind you, y’all inserted yourselves into the Black radical tradition by centering Black voices in news coverage. That falls flat when your actions don't align. We know BW are disenfranchised. Duh! That doesn't preclude you from being accountable to the people YOU decided to serve in this role.

Morgan, @thetriibe.com, unilaterally exercising your power in one moment to unjustly terminate Corli, @corli.thetriibe.com, and then turning this into BW being asked too much when people are looking for basic accountability, is shameful and incongruent with The TRiiBe's mission.

Anyone with sense coulda told you that it wasn't a good idea to post that "statement." Your actions over the past 2 weeks make you look a damn fool. How dare you act like the aggrieved party and reduce this to BW leaders being asked for too much when your policies harmed your majority-BW staff?

First of all, I can just picture the Regina George-level rage you had to be in to sit up here and make an iOS press release at damn midnight. It was (ironically) poorly written, ill-timed, and ill-advised.

I had plenty of other things to say, but the identity reductionism and clear emotional motivations behind this statement are enough to speak on at the moment. Let’s chat, Morgan/@thetriibe.com.
Slide 1/3 of a statement posted on Instagram early Wednesday morning, March 11th at 12:23 AM by Morgan Elise Johnson, publisher of The TRiiBE Chicago, a Black-owned newsroom. It reads:

"Transparency has always been The TRiBE's practice, so I'm going to do what I would normally do and speak my peace.

Ya'll ask too much of Black women leaders.

Last week, myself and Tiffany Walden asked our editorial team to hold Tiffany down while she was on medical leave. Tiffany was preparing for an invasive surgery to remove uterine fibroids and endometriosis. Like most Black women, including myself, she has been suffering with symptoms of this condition for years. Thankfully, the surgery, which took place yesterday, was successful and she's in recovery.

Before Tiffany went on leave, she laid out coverage plans with clear instructions to our team. However, when Tiffany signed off for a couple days, a TRiBE employee proceeded to get press credentials to a corporate event at a private facility for herself and a non-TRiBE employee without our approval or knowledge. A department head for this corporate partner reached out to me directly on Sunday, March 8 to confirm that this press access was authorized.

When I told them that we did not authorize a coverage plan, they removed all future press access for this TRiBE employee."Slide 2/3 of a statement posted on Instagram early Wednesday morning, March 11th at 12:23 AM by Morgan Elise Johnson, publisher of The TRiiBE Chicago, a Black-owned newsroom. It reads:

"On Monday, I gave this employee the opportunity to explain what happened. I had this person show me the correspondence and ! was shocked to see that so many journalism ethics lines were crossed:

1. Reaching out to a major brand partner without our knowledge and creating reputational harm.
2. Getting press access for a non-TRiBE employee under the TRiBE name.
3. Being dishonest about the intent for the use of press credentials
4. Insubordination and disrespect of our editorial processes while an editor was on leave.

Nobody puts more investment into The TRiBE than me and Tiffany. Almost ten years of our lives, our savings and paychecks often get re-routed to our staff. The sacrifices we make are unseen, but we are the faces of the brand and the ones who are responsible if something goes wrong. We will not tolerate our brand being misrepresented."Slide 3/3 of a statement posted on Instagram early Wednesday morning, March 11th at 12:23 AM by Morgan Elise Johnson, publisher of The TRiiBE Chicago, a Black-owned newsroom. It reads:
"Y'all are not going to harass Tiffany while she is healing. As for me, I have to run this company by myself for the next couple of weeks. I'm choosing to work with a staff that is following our directives and has the maturity to move in a way that keeps our partnerships in tact.
Thanks for your concern and understanding,
Morgan Elise Johnson"

I always thought Elon Musk was the most dangerous man in America but I viewed him as a danger primarily in terms of his wealth and his disinformation power. I didn't realize he would pose an actual threat to our form of government, our national security, and our most sensitive personal data. Sheesh.

Which in my opinion would be a great that's utilized. Public Servants should great prison, so they should do as we say, not go serve the country and have unofficially official immunity. Thanks to the Supreme Court they set. Then equate lots of money to loss of expertise and the rest doesn't matter.

This is only part of the story. After Obama left office they updated language from the David Lee Atwater and Phyllis Schlafly playbook. They feared Donald Trump and his supporters, and when they had power they were afraid to use it because the precedent set meant that would do the same to them.
