For Black Americans seeking relief from constant racial tension, Panamá offers a shift: foreigner first, Black second. Here’s what I’ve learned so far, and how I plan to navigate it.

MSNBC, DON\'T SILENCE THE TRUTH – BRING BACK THE REIDOUT!

MSNBC Executives & Decision Makers

Dear MSNBC Leadership,

I am deeply disappointed in MSNBC’s decision to cancel The ReidOut and remove one of the few voices in mainstream media that consistently speaks truth to power. At a time when the free press should be exposing disinformation, not accommodating it, you are choosing to silence a journalist who has been unapologetic, fearless, and necessary.

Joy Reid has been one of the few journalists willing to confront the rise of authoritarianism, systemic racism, and political deceit head-on. Her show gave voice to perspectives too often ignored or sidelined by corporate media. Canceling her show is not just a programming shift—it signals a willingness to appease those who would rather suppress uncomfortable truths.

At a time when democracy itself is in peril, The ReidOut stood as a rare space where the powerful were truly held accountable. Removing it now sends a message that MSNBC is more concerned with avoiding controversy than standing up for journalistic integrity and the public\'s right to an unvarnished truth.

This move is a disservice to the millions who rely on your network for bold, honest journalism. It is a betrayal of the very audience that has supported MSNBC as a trusted news source.
I urge you to reverse this decision immediately and reinstate The ReidOut. Show your viewers that MSNBC values integrity over intimidation, truth over timidity, and democracy over deference.

We are watching.

This petition is a demand for MSNBC to uphold its responsibility as a platform for truth and fearless journalism. Cancelling The ReidOut is more than a programming change—it is an act of self-censorship at a time when the public needs bold reporting the most. We will not stand by as powerful voices are silenced. MSNBC, do the right thing: bring back The ReidOut and stand for press integrity over political convenience.
