In tonight's Freestyle Friday episode of The Joy Reid Show, Joy sits down with LaTosha Brown of the Black Voters Matter Fund to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court decision that could spell the end of the Voting Rights Act. Dean Obeidalla, host of the Dean Obeidallah Show joins us to talk about JD Vance's apologia for the young Republicans leaked, racist, anti-semitic and homophobic group chat, as well as, Zohran Mamdani's performance in the NYC mayoral debate, and 45's "Arc-Du-Donald Trump" bizarre plan for the nation's capitol. Maribel Hernandez Rivera of the ACLU joins us to discuss Saturday's No Kings rallies, and to give advice on how to stay safe at protests. AND OF COURSE Boston-based musical comedian Robby Roadsteamer comes on to talk about his detainment by ICE in Portland and to share his insights on the power of absurdism in the face of fascism and cruelty.
