Joy Reid: “Attention all MAGA trolls — your bullshit is not welcome here. And to paraphrase one of my favorite actors in the world, Robert De Niro — ‘f**k y'all’

We're here to hear the truth & to hear from impacted people — so go back & pay attention to your orange lying friend”

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE.

If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The Nazi Slogans Are Not an Accident How many Americans actually want a race war?

“On the one hand, it feels weird to say the US government is attempting some low-key ethnic cleansing.

On the other hand, we have a masked secret police force attempting to kidnap brown people; one government agency daydreaming about deporting 100 million people…”

Donald Trump Has Declared War On Minnesota—And Tim Walz Is Ready Trump's most devastating war might be the one he's waging right here at home

Trump is turning Minnesota into a test case for federal abuse of power. After lies, raids, and a deadly ICE escalation, Tim Walz is done campaigning and ready to fight back.

We must stop trying to make rational sense out of what Trump is doing. He is a ruthless dictator, plan and simple.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents obtained by Nextgov/FCW...

This is a HUGE scandal.

Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.

Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.

Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

But the man nominated to be his second-in-command thinks Kennedy's doing a “great job."

For our kids, I’ll be voting NO on his confirmation.

The Value of Joy By canceling Joy Reid’s cable news show, MSNBC has not only silenced a brilliant host: It’s silenced the next Black voice you haven’t yet heard.

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out.
