"Autocracy requires your fear before it gets your capitulation. But your voice is yours. No one can take it from you unless you let them." Full episode: open.spotify.com/episode/5Mli...  #JoyAnnReid #IndependentMedia #TeachTheBabies

The next day? Joy launched The Joy Ann Reid Show—independent, unbought, unbossed. Through her own company with Jason Reid. She refused to be silenced.

Why? Because Joy put Palestinians on TV when nobody else would. Because she talked about Gaza, police violence, and Trump in ways that made power uncomfortable.

They didn't just fire Joy. They laid off her entire staff. People who'd been with her through 3 shows. People who fought to tell unapologetic Black stories on primetime.

"I got fired on my day off. It was a week after we won two NAACP Image Awards." Joy Ann Reid on getting that Saturday call from MSNBC—one month after renewing her contract, one week before the State of the Union. New #TeachTheBabies #Podcast episode 🧵

From 31-year-old community college student in Philly to White House Social Secretary. From imposter syndrome to writing Undiplomatic for Black girls who risk it all. From the East Wing's demolition to what they can never tear down. New @TeachTheBabies: open.spotify.com/episode/02UZ...

This or That with Deesha Dyer (forever White House Social Secretary): Hip-hop or house? HOUSE Philly cheesesteak or DC mumbo sauce? CHEESESTEAK ("Are you dumb?") State dinner or movie screening? MOVIE SCREENING: Community organizing or institution? COMMUNITY That last answer tells you everything. 🧵

They Can't Demolish What We Built. They demolished the East Wing in 72 hours. But they can't demolish this. On institutional memory, Black women's labor, and what endures when we build in community. #TeachTheBabies #Podcast open.substack.com/pub/drdavidj...
