As Black history continues to be erased, America’s democracy is in danger. I'm joined by Joy Reid to discuss the rise of Trumpism, the tech influence of Elon Musk, and the importance of preserving American history.

@StevenLaBombar3@EdKrassen If the shoe fits. Everything he’s doing is harming the American people. So yeah he gets the blame. Might want to examine your need to adhere to a cult.
@TheMemesOfTruth @EdKrassen Oh please. You obviously don’t understand what DEI hire is. Correlation isn’t necessarily causation. Do you understand that a sentence? Read a book. Learn about racism in this country. And please start with your own.
@JoyceWhiteVance Professor, I belong to a group of really, really pissed off older ladies here Florida. Is a Florida Bar Complaint something we could do.
Senator Whitehouse asks Pam Bondi about the weaponization of the DOJ during her confirmation hearing.
Whitehouse: "it would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime. It's a prosecutor's job to start with a crime and look for a name, correct?"
Bondi: "Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what's been happening to Donald Trump.
They targeted Donald Trump. They went after him, actually starting back in 2016. They targeted his campaign. They have launched countless investigations against him. That will not be the case if I am Attorney General. I will not politicize that office. I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation.
Justice will be administered even handedly throughout this country. Senator, we've got to bring this country back together. We've got to move forward or we're going to lose our country."
Looking forward to the guidance AG Bondi is required to issue advising folks inside and outside of DOJ that they must not comply with the president’s EO. She was ordered to issue it immediately.
Ms. Crockett, there are 3 types of Trump supporters:
1. The folks who pay little to no attention to politics and will vote Republican no matter who and no matter what. The little they know is based in fear farming and that’s enough for them. These folks are, however, the ones who WILL get a clue. They aren’t super invested in him. They aren’t part of the cult. They still possess critical thinking. They're still capable of being horrified. They're the ones who will say, "Wait, I had NO IDEA about THAT. OMG. OMG. This is awful!"
2. The folks whose identity is Maga. Their tribe is Maga. They finally feel like they are seen and heard. They realize he is probably a shit human being, but in their minds the ends justify the means. These folks talk politics all the time. It’s a way to validate their poor decision to support him, and a way to feel connected to a group who “knows what others don’t.” They buy the merch. They go to the rallies. They feel like they’re part of a special society. They see themselves in Trump; people who cannot accept accountability for their actions, those who feel entitled, those who feel like victims. Maybe a few will get a clue once his agenda impacts them very directly. But until then, they’re full-time cult members.
There are 2 subsets of this group: the folks who are educated on how things actually work and those who THINK they are educated on how things work. The uneducated are lost. They’ll hold on forever because doing so validates their own victimhood. The educated have a slim chance of changing, but ONLY if the other option is more lucrative or self-serving.
3. Lastly, there’s the folks who know exactly who and what Trump is, and they do not care. They WANT people to suffer. They WANT to punish the people of color. They are racist. They are misogynists. They want the 1950’s and 1880’s. They lack empathy and get off, as Trump does, on suffering and punishing those who are different. In truth, they’re the most emotionally and intellectually fragile of the whole crew. They’ll go down with the ship, so to speak. Once Trump is out of politics, however that happens, they’ll glom on to the next (attempted) cult leader. They’ll be in the splinter groups, and the militias. They LOVE what is happening and feed off hate. Anger and hate is their love language.
BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts statement:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."
This MAGA dictatorship has been breaking the law every day.
Quid pro quo with Eric Adams.
Dropped the SEC case against Eric Sun.
Refused to arrest Cory Mills.
Unlawful EO’s.
Refusing to comply when overruled by judges.
Alien Enemies Act.
Trying to interfere with Tina Peters. (State case, not Federal)
We can’t have an unlawful sociopath run amok like this.
BREAKING: While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is.
This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in.
@Mike8DaNFT@GregBowmanOakv@krassenstein Oh really?And you know this will work how? Let’s do a history lesson shall we. Reagan cut all the fed funds to public Ed. Feds and state paid1/2 each. Exit feds enter local property tax dollars. Result: Ed outcomes diminished. It was called localize control. Didn’t work.
