Maddow is calling what’s happening with non-white anchors at MNSBC a bad mistake, unnerving, worse than bad, and indefensible. And she calls the dozens of producer layoffs “not the right way to treat people, inefficient, and unnecessary.”

This isn't even touching on the fact that most town halls are held during millennial and gen z working hours because our generations are notoriously working second + third jobs to exist. We often don't get the typical "9-5" that boomers did. So, in person town halls aren't a viable option as much.
25.02.2025 03:54 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That's because there's a generational gap in how information is spread. Town halls are good for getting information to people who don't or won't access it via other avenues. Millennials + Gen Z have no problem using the internet and attending virtual, emailing, or calling. Boomers do more often.

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.
I'm so excited to play omg

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
(above an image of Kash Patel) MEET MAGA EXTREMIST KASH PATEL (TRUMP'S PICK FOR FBI DIRECTOR) Patel vowed to "come after the people in the media... who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections." Patel published a full-on "deep state" enemies list full of government officials who've criticized Trump. Patel had his 2020 appointment for Deputy FBI Director blocked by Trump's own hand-picked Attorney General, Bill Barr (Barr later made Patel's enemies list, by the way.)
There’s still time to stop Kash Patel’s nomination. Patel, who helped produce a version of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by violent January 6th inmates, has salivated about prosecuting the media.

I'm in NYC for a few days and first thing I did was grab a $1.50 slice from a random shop.
It might be my favorite thing ever tbh.
It's people who legitimately do the whole "I can't pay attention to politics. It's too low vibe" and it just.. shows, lol
