MSNBC has fallen to the fascists like the rest of mainstream media. Overjoyed that Joy is here on Substack! Democrats need to elevate more women of color to save our democracy and lead us to a progressive future:

So glad I found you here. I was so sad when you left msnbc. I watched your show every night. You are sincerely missed.

We have to reclaim who we are, and turn the noise off. When we are unapologetic in our blackness, we Rise. We cannot continue to cater to people who will always mischaracterize, misinform and who will never evolve. All of today's events have prepared us for such a moment as this.

I could not agree more.. We need to organize and we need to rise. I’m ready, I’m a full-time mom and I am ready to make resistance my full-time job.

It’s time for us to be unapologetically black. My tolerance for YT America is growing thinner and thinner.

Loved this discussion Joy with you and Conscious Lee. And because of you I have found Substacks too! I miss you on MSNBC at that magic 8pm hour (my time), but am not missing MSNBC these days....a perfect Lenten abstention!

Hi Joy, first off, I want to say that I am sorry that you were fired! But now, you have an opportunity to flourish even more than you already have! I have the same disability as does the journalist who trump mocked. In that vein, I’d like to see if you’d consider interviewing me on the anniversary of when that happened?
