Exactly. Even Nixon’s worst nightmares wouldn’t have reached this level. Shows how far off the rails things have gone.

“If that actually happened, it’d be the clearest example yet of how tone-deaf corporate ‘olive branches’ can be. Disney doesn’t need to revive racist relics to prove anything—they need to move forward, not backwards.

“Yes, I remember that uproar too. The way MSNBC keeps shuffling out Black voices is troubling. And you’re right—Karen Attiah’s firing after the Kirk situation sparked a lot of rightful backlash. These patterns aren’t coincidences.

Exactly—MSNBC sidelined at least 3 of them. And you’re right, Melissa Harris-Perry (MHP) is a big loss. She brought depth, intellect, and perspective we rarely see on cable anymore. I wonder about her too.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Same here. Taking Joy off was a huge mistake—she brought insight and perspective that’s missing now. Cable news keeps sidelining the very voices people actually tune in for, and it shows in how disconnected their lineups feel.

You’re right, these are tough times and communities of color are bearing the brunt of it. But your voice matters too. Speaking out, amplifying candidates who will fight for justice, and pushing everyone to GOTV—that’s real action. If we all keep pressing forward together, that’s how change happens.

Absolutely! Amber Ruffin is brilliant—smart, funny, and fearless. She 100% deserves her own show and a bigger platform

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Exactly. Networks like NBC have the resources, the platform, and the influence to push back against injustice—but too often they choose access and profit over principle. It’s frustrating watching those with power protect the bully instead of the people

Facts. We can’t pick and choose when to defend free voices. Silencing Black journalists and comedians—especially by platforms that claim to be progressive—exposes the double standards. Their voices matter, and they deserve the same energy and support.”

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

I get that—it’s possible to care about protecting people while also feeling frustrated by certain behaviors. Sometimes the loudest voices online can make it harder to see the bigger picture. You’re not alone in feeling that tension. And yes, I’m swatting away my share of gnats too.”

Absolutely. It’s terrifying when someone in such a position glorifies violence and dismisses the rule of law. That kind of rhetoric doesn’t just shock—it corrodes trust in our institutions and normalizes chaos. A week later, and it’s still hard to shake the impact.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
I get that—it’s like holding up a mirror to her own tactics. Just remember, even when turning the tables rhetorically, it’s important to make the distinction between critique and unverified accusations. Otherwise, it’s easy for the conversation to spiral.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Exactly. While demonizing abortion and ignoring the AIDS crisis, the evangelists were already mobilizing, and it took someone like Nancy to finally intervene. It’s a clear example of how political and religious agendas can prioritize ideology over human lives.

“We have to be very careful about jumping to conclusions. Spreading assumptions about someone’s appearance or behavior in relation to a tragedy is dangerous and could be completely false. Let’s stick to verified facts and let law enforcement do their work before pointing fingers.
000
Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Spreading baseless claims like this is dangerous and irresponsible. No evidence links Democrats to what happened, and politicizing a tragedy only deepens division. Accountability and facts matter—let’s not weaponize grief for political points.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
True. He throws around insults and baseless accusations at anyone who disagrees, but then demands others ‘tone it down.’ That double standard is exhausting. Facts and accountability should matter more than name-calling.
010
Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Exactly. The LAST thing Democrats should do is tone down. Silence only rewards the chaos. The Right never tones it down—why should Dems be the ones to shrink back? This is the moment to speak louder, clearer, and stronger for democracy.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
That’s the irony—2A was never meant to be a tool to silence 1A. When guns are used to shut down speech, that’s not freedom, it’s intimidation. The whole point of our rights is balance, but extremists twist them into weapons against democracy itself.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Exactly That kind of rhetoric isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous. When leaders glorify ‘maximum lethality’ over legality and decency, they’re not protecting the country, they’re priming people for more division and violence. Words like that don’t fade away—they fester.

Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Well said. There’s a big difference between wishing harm and simply pointing out when karma comes full circle. Trump and Kirk built their entire brand on mocking, belittling and dividing people—so when their own tactics backfire, that’s not violence that’s justice catching up. Accountability matters
020
Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Exactly. It’s pure projection when the Right accuses the Left of divisive rhetoric while excusing Trump’s daily stream of attacks. The reality is, people are suffering real consequences under his politics, while he distracts with insults and memes. Standing up to that isn’t divisive it’s necessary.
000
Nelson @nelsonj123.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Elizabeth Warren is absolutely right here. Calls for Democrats to ‘tone it down’ always seem to ignore the constant stream of insults, misinformation, and divisive rhetoric coming straight from Trump himself. Holding Democrats to a double standard while giving him a pass just normalizes his behavior

Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
