Joy Ann Reid from her show on Saturday:
I’ll make it clear – I support Joy Ann Reid. There are those who want to silence her for the following reasons:
1. She’s smart.
2. She’s smart and a woman.
3. She’s smart and a BLACK woman.
4. She pulls no punches.
5. She is one of the most vocal critics of Dolt45 and the Republicans.
So, yes, I believe there are those who have wanted to run her off the air and take away her career. To silence her clear and powerful voice.
Got your back, Joy Ann Reid.
Joy Ann Reid apology. Appropriate. Heartfelt. This unique and compelling voice for tolerance and equality should not be silenced. We learn – and change – from our mistakes. She has.

.@JoyAnnReid dedicating a whole segment with prominent LGBT activists, and explaining and apologizing for her perceived past behavior on #AMJoy. That's more than any Repub, Deplorable, or self-proclaimed progressive has done so far.

This THREAD
Outspoken people–particularly women, POC & other marginalized voices–are disallowed bad choices or change whereas white men like the neo-neo conservatives at @FreeBeacon are allowed endless do-overs.
A chief voice to the anti-Trump left is John Dean.
So let's get honest.4/

The folks on the right and pseudo-left who are spending hours searching @JoyAnnReid's old blog are doing so to distract from folks with actual power–Trump in particular.
You have to ask why? Why now, why do these things matter now?

It’s coming, folks. Little Johny Kelly is getting closer & closer to the open door.
Pretty sure that already happened. Micro-targeting social media gives 45GOP a plausible win, but doesn’t guarantee outcome. Hacking the machines/tabulation serves DOES. Where’s the forensic code audit of 2016 w/data trails starting in WI/PA/MI?

Nursing schools are rejecting thousands of applicants — in the middle of a nursing shortage
POSTED 10:05 AM, APRIL 30, 2018, BY CNN WIRES
There’s an acute nursing shortage in the United States, but schools are turning away thousands of qualified applicants as they struggle to expand class size and hire more teachers for nursing programs.
In America, experienced nurses are retiring at a rapid clip, and there aren’t enough new nursing graduates to replenish the workforce. At the same time, the nation’s population is aging and requires more care.
“It’s really a catch 22 situation,” said Robert Rosseter, spokesman for the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
“There’s tremendous demand from hospitals and clinics to hire more nurses,” he said. “There’s tremendous demand from students who want to enter nursing programs, but schools are tapped out.”
There are currently about three million nurses in the United States. The country will need to produce more than one million new registered nurses by 2022 to fulfill its health care needs, according to the American Nurses Association estimates.
………………………………………
Jane Kirschling, dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore, said her school admits new students in the undergraduate program twice a year.
“We’re averaging 200 applications each time for 55 slots,” she said. “So we’re turning away one student for every student we accept.”
She said the nursing profession has surged in popularity for a few reasons. “Nursing offers an entry-level living wage with which you can support a family,” said Kirschling.
There’s built-in flexibility and mobility. “You can work three 12-hour shifts and get four days off,” she said. And nurses aren’t locked into a specific location, employer or specialty for the rest of their lives. “There’s tremendous growth opportunity,” said Kirschling.
My eye is still swollen but it feels so good. There isn’t anything rolling around on my eyeball. Just so thankful.
You take care, SG2. Get the rest that you need.

He slapped a person and then murdered someone and got away with it. This terrorist thug had no business on a police force drunk with power to terrorize and kill at will.

Truth.
I’ve stopped telling people we need to “take back our country.” What if we didn’t go back? Let’s build something new. A place where we invest in your kids, you have a job you can count on, and you are guaranteed health care. Let’s build that America.

frm Coates “TheFirstWhitePresident” The first white president in American history is also the most dangerous president—and he is made more dangerous still by the fact that those charged with analyzing him cannot name his essential nature, because they too are implicated in it.

The beltway press out here bitching about Michelle Wolf’s routine because a hit dog hollers. She made it clear how much they profit from Trump & how much they actively enable his shitty, mean spirited Presidency. So OF COURSE they’re defensively calling HER routine mean spirited.

Michelle Wolf can thank 45 & his cohorts for providing such rich, truthful comedic gold.
The rest of the media and GOP can go phuck themselves
Comedian ends comedy dinner by saying that Flint still doesn’t have clean water, an attempt to point out Washington’s continued neglect of people who need help.
Washington responds with a rigorous debate about the tone and civility of the comedian’s jokes.
