I don’t think my family would approve of that plan, but thank you ❤️

This is such a well-written essay, backed up by evidence and leading to Joy's obvious conclusion that we're back to a segregated US. I'm honestly interested in where the white men are who aren't in favor of being the only first-class citizens. Yes, I've read from white male writers, and heard from a few white male politicians, but where are all the other white men who should be making it loud and clear that they're against these moves by Trump and Musk.

Imagine what it would feel like experiencing that immense racial harassment at Tesla. So scary, frightening, awful, disgusting, distressing, disturbing, disgraceful! Reading your piece gave me chills. This sh*t is real, people’s reality and daily lives at stake ~ not fiction ! Not sci-fi dystopian twisted thriller book 📖 or movie 🎥 ~ Thank you for providing this info and historical data, insight. Also PLEASE AOC challenge Chuck S. NOW ~is this possible … We need women at the helm now!

Thank you, Joy, for keeping us on top of all of this. I hope some of your MSNBC staff has been able to stay with you to help with this amazing research.

I can hear your voice whenI'm reading this but I would really love to hear your voice. Podcast or maybe audio so I canlisten as I drive? Just a thought. Continued success

Heroes don't come in "colors". Bravery, intelligence, and courage keep my Heroes/ Heroins alive! I am with you. I will never back down. Keep the truth coming. Thank you for your reporting, and book, Medgar and Myrlie. It troubles , saddens, and maddens me when "they" continue to erase what makes us a country of incredible, culturally diverse, and educated people. We shall rise! I would tell you to go dye some Easter eggs all the colors of the rainbow...but, we don't have any eggs, and RFK. Jr. wants us to let Bird flu run rampant! Love you, Joy.

Editorial Cartoon: Klansmen including Trump and Musk with chainsaw around tree with Uncle Sam hanging. Constitution ripped in half on the ground below chainsaw. American democracy murdered.
