Vote for what? Vote for who?

This week on TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne celebrate the Knicks sweep, discuss Mysonne nearing his 50th birthday and concerns about public health and government response, then update viewers on Until Freedom’s campaign against New York State’s “predatory” toll fees after small tolls ballooned into massive penalties.

They describe organizing with state legislators, investigating the toll contractor Conduit, and planning a town hall as residents report extreme fees and license or plate impacts. Tamika responds to the argument that you can’t “vote your way out of this,” emphasizing voting must be paired with protest, boycotts, education, and building Black economic power.

They critique progressive leaders, including Bernie Sanders, for silence on voting-rights rollbacks, debate strategies for building Black political power, and reject calls for Black voters to support Republicans without credible pro-Black candidates. See for privacy information.
