The Jacque Reid Experience

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Watching this NTSB presser and wonder how do we even trust that these officials can report the truth if it goes against what Trump wants reported? It seems all government info from this administration s compromised. SMH.

Opinion | Elon Musk is sweeping through Washington — and answering to nobody The mega-billionaire's astonishing power grabs, explained.

This man is dangerous. He is unelected. He heads an "agency" made up out of thin air with no congressional oversight. He now has access if not control of the federal payment system at Treasury. Republicans don't care and Democrats have no clue how to stop him.

Ooof! Mexico, Canada and Wall Street call Trump's Tariff bluff. NOW he wants to talk to Canada, delay tariffs on Mexico for a month and Wall Street is telling him real time his tariffs are "dumb". Ahh, the price of eggs, cars, avocados...

Opinion | There are several reasons Musk wants to control Treasury payments. None of them are good. An unelected and unaccountable billionaire wants to dictate what working families can and cannot afford.

If you're not afraid of this, you're not paying attention... www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Watching coverage of another plane crash on WCAU in Philly. I do not understand why they keep showing this crash on repeat. This is traumatizing. I wish they would stop. I have family in Philly and want to the reporting, but this is nuts. They keep showing the crash again and again.

If you are feeling stressed or sad you could just shut out the world for one minute and give Thumbelina scritches….

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

The Walmart Effect New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

What the far right is building is global apartheid, just so you know.

Opinion | Trump is trying to reshape American democracy. Will we let him? The president’s first week has shown he intends to stress-test the guardrails.

Here's a question for you...

Welp. This one hurts, but I am done.

Revisiting January 6th: The Truth in Motion (Videos Of Pardoned Criminals) Uncovering the Lies, Confronting the Violence, and Standing Firm for Democracy

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

Great news! One of the few things Twitter did better than here.

YouTube video by Roland S. Martin MAGA: DEFUND BLACK AMERICA | Trump revokes executive order BANNING DISCRIMINATION in Fed Contracting

Through his executive orders rescinding civil rights protections for minority contractors, Trump’s federal government now openly permitted to discriminate.

Michael Steele: After Trump pardons Jan. 6 rioters, where will Republicans draw the line? Michael Steele explains how Republicans' reactions to Trump's Jan. 6 pardons are an endorsement of the breakdown of law and order

Republicans don't give a damn about "law and order" and don't get me started on their "Back the Blue" BS. They use these words to illicit the illusion that they actually mean something to them.

Hey… if you do not know how to drive in the snow, don’t go out there. Stay you butt at home. This message is for me 😂

FFOTUS's cabinet nominees were chosen not for their qualifications but for their loyalty to a criminal regime that has heavy fascist, corrupt, & violent leanings. This is happening right in front of us & as usual the craven, misguided Senate GQP just goes along thinking it won't be cataclysmic.

Very frustrating watching this interview with DC Mayor Bowser on MSNBC talking about her recent meeting with trump at Mar a Lago. I know she is doing what she needs to do, but I hate that everyone has to kiss the ring in this way with no guarantee of a return on this investment.

It's official: TikTok has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court to stave off next month's U.S. ban. The company says it is "asking the Court to do what it has traditionally done in free speech cases: apply the most rigorous scrutiny to speech bans and conclude that it violates the First Amendment."

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Walmart is really out here trying it with that Love Jones holiday ad. My integrity is not for sale.

I keep reading comments abt plans by the Trump administration to cut social security, & folks are suggesting maga folks are going to be upset. News flash! MAGA folks don’t care about SS, fair minimum wage,
universal health care, the rule of law, or the constitution. If trump likes it they love it

I am so torn. I want to tune out from the news (the ones that are not under the influence of Trump), but I also feel I have to keep an eye on this next Trump administration so I can be part of efforts to inform/warn the public about the dark times ahead.
