been filling in for him, announced that SIRIUS indicated that he has decided to pursue other ventures. This is code for you are fired. I won't post the video of the incident of MArk with ADOS, but if you google it you can see the agitator from ADOS.

I worried about the safety of Mark's job when they bumped him from late afternoons to early mornings.

I was wondering what happened to him. I listened to his show in the morning but it hasn't been on in a while. Sirius shouldn't be giving in to these people.

I can't see the video, but the pictures look like the guy was in his face not letting him move. Maybe his sole purpose was to get a reaction out of Mark so that Sirius would take him off the air. So stupid.

That's not official that I've heard and the fill in hosts on MIP have all said they are "filling in for Marc".

doesn't make it so.

Also that there can be differences on some issues even among bona fide liberals.

I have witnessed first hand the way the H-1B is gamed at the expense of aspiring young black applicants. I don't blame someone for having a nuanced view on immigration. But it sounds like ADOS is way beyond "nuanced" and deep into supporting Trump, which means the principals must also be f*ckiing insane.

Article about the situation: [link:https://moguldom.com/196149/why-is-siriusxm-considering-firing-talk-show-host-rev-mark-thompson/|

Relevant paragraph:
Popular pastor, activist and Sirius XM host Mark Thompson has been absent from his “Make It Plain” show after punching a man in Newark who identified himself as Africa The Great. According to an article by Talib Kweli Greene on Medium, Africa approached Thompson to confront him for not addressing real concerns of poor Blacks on MSNBC.

they're a very polished and well-organized agitprop/ratfucking outfit... They will be the new 'Cassandra Fairbanks' of 2020...

said this morning it's true. Mark had to have been pushed to the limit to get physical; he's not a big guy. But he may be ready to move on as well. He's a long time activist and organizer, and those are talents sorely needed right now. Don't know of Danielle will do the mornings permanently, but she is wonderful too. Expose these cretinous agitators!
