💥The economic boycott and blackout have begun! 💥

Starting November 25th to December 2nd to show large corporations that gouge Americans, are anti-DEI, or have sold out to tRump that we aren’t beholden to them.
This will be easy for me, I’m giving cash this year.

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

If you can understand why a Hispanic ICE agent with a deportation quota will not save you....

Then you can understand why a Black cop with an arrest quota, cannot save you either.

The racism is in the system, not the individual.

The individual is just a part, working within that system.
If you try to push on the individual responsibility And interpersonal racism of the cop?

Then you will end up hiring a bunch of Black cops... who will work within the same racist system, and the outcome will not change.🤷🏿‍♂️

Eg, a city going from 400 to 800 cops, but 200 of the new cops are Black.🤦🏿‍♂️

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Or, maybe those of us who say USian simply recognize that America(n) isn’t just this one country but instead includes South, Central, and North America.

Maybe the fact that a person thinks using USian invalidates an argument says how US-centric/ws they are
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Anyways, I hope that when Viola Ford Fletcher transitioned, all of her friends, family, and neighbors, who perished from the Tulsa Race Massacre, welcomed her home. And I hope "home" looked like her actual childhood home before the moment.

All these long years and still no justice for the fallen. Justice delayed was justice denied for all those impacted by the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Are we going to look back from the misdeeds of the current administration and ask the same questions?
