One of these protest Saturdays you should come to Newark, DE. The turnout has been getting stronger with each passing protest and when true journalists like yourself come and add support every once in a while, it will only make the events stronger.

Joy, you are so fun and terrifying at the same time. Every time I read your Reid I get a history lesson, a civics lesson and vital info on the current state of the world. You were so muted at MSNBC I can't believe it. I'm so glad you are free. I love your REAL REID content. Thank you! It's stuff everybody should know about!

What beautiful people and create attire.

Textiles are an art form that give people life and strength.

In placid hours well-pleased we dream

Of many a brave embodied scheme.

But form to lend, pulsed life create,

What unlike things must meet and mate:

A flame to melt—a wind to freeze;

Sad patience---joyous energies;

Humility---yet pride and scorn;

Instinct and study; love and hate;

Audacity---reverence. These must mate

And fuse with Jacob’s mystic heart,

To wrestle with the angel---Art.

I really enjoyed this article. You always teach me so much about history. Imagine designing and dressing the wife of the president and no one knowing about it 😢Makes me crazy

This one is 2 completely different articles in one. I immensely enjoyed the 2nd half because it was informative. The first half, not so much. The TED Talk was fire. 🔥🔥

Well, I guess I'm showing my age (75) when I ask: "You call that art??"
