Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

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.🤦🏿‍♂️

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
