'Do something. Pick something. Do not be silent in this moment': Elie Mystal - Velshi - MSNBC

From small protests in Trump country to fiery town halls and crowded courthouses in major cities, ordinary citizens are standing up for democracy—one act of courage at a time. As Elie Mystal reminds us, resistance doesn’t require grand gestures– every act of defiance, however small, throws a wrench into authoritarianism.

In the face of Trump’s “cruelty,” even “acts of kindness turn out to be acts of resistance.” The call is simple but urgent, Mystal says: do something, choose something, and refuse to be silent. - Aired on 08/31/2025.

I literally screamed with laughter.

First of all, the idea that Ali Velshi would sing his own praises is beyond ludicrous. You clearly haven't watched much Velshi. He is a serious hard-working journalist. He is one of the hardest working journalists on MSNBC. When interviewing experts he demonstrates humility and deference. His work is not driven by ego or agenda.
