Q: Do you think Mr Sessions needed a whistle blown (or a flag thrown), for all the BS he was slinging yesterday?

*journalists aren't observers of a sinking ship called DEMOCRACY (they are passengers with keys to the extraction-pump)🇺🇸🙏🏾( #LFG )

Which do U think is more effective communication (BS, said simple & direct, or the truth-telling...sometimes perceived as a passive-aggressive, coping-strategy ... #LiberalSarcasm)?

S/O to #TheWeekend team👊🏾

Q: Do you think the #EyesOfOurEra (journalists), need to evolve into #JournoRefs (matching ENERGY & FREQUENCY with INTENSITY & URGENCY, refraining from ANY timid-hesitancy)?

How about you, @NicolleWallace.bsky.social @FredGuttenberg.bsky.social & @MorgFair.bsky.social?

(cont'd) Besides looking forward to Ali one day saying 'the current president & his dodgy/D-O-G-E un-truth social band of non-merry-men, are using the constitution as toilet-paper'...

...I'm loving Steve's 'max abuse of power requires max use of power' (& Angelo's wiz on P25) @VelshiBBC.bsky.social

Dear cast & crew members of @TheWeekendMSNBC.bsky.social,

Would you be willing to remember that every time a GOPer uses the noun 'democrat' as an adjective, it's a toxic insult to your viewers?💜

Feel me, @MorgFair.bsky.social @FredGuttenberg.bsky.social & @NicolleWallace.bsky.social?👊🏾 #TheWeekend☯️

You know how bad-faithers need good-faithers to

1. Lend dignity through terminology

2. Underestimate verbal-psychology &

3. Ask bs-entertaining escape Q's (frequently)?

Y'all ready to shift from journalists to Journo-Refs (blow a whistle, throw a flag & stop the game/call time-outs)? #TheWeekend

3. If journalists in 2025 are no longer observers of a sinking ship called DEMOCRACY, but rather ship-passengers with keys to the extraction-pump (that only operates when neutrality is seen as complicity)...

...how do journos become Journo-Refs (matching ENERGY & INTENSITY to URGENCY)?

2. You know how bad-faithers need good-faithers to a) lend them dignity through terminology b) underestimate verbal-psychology & c) ask BS entertaining, escape Q's [frequently]?

How do we empathically respond to things like the noun 'democrat' used as an adjective (GOP code for F/U)?🇺🇸🙏🏾

Happy 21st day (& soon to be night) of September, to #TheWeekend TEAM @TheWeekendMSNBC.bsky.social

As an american of african-ancestry (with an athletically professional pedigree & a dad who's LGBT) 3 Q's:

1. Empathically speaking, how are you all holding-up (spiritually, emotionally & physically)?

'free-speech' is the philosophy, #FreedomOfSpeech is the legality🇺🇸

*make sure the bad-faithers aren't getting it twisted, my beloved good-faithers😉(like how they use the noun 'democrat' as an adjective, to insult our democratic officials...& 'democrats were klan', when conservatives were democrats)

In my montessori-methodist journey as a student/athlete (including time w/Coach Wooden & President Bush), I've learned to value #ObjectiveObservation (& the #LawOfAttraction)

Doesn't it seem like both are being violated by much of journalism, @MatthewJDowd.bsky.social & @NicolleWallace.bsky.social?
