“member of the squad, highlighted the bigotry of soft expectations”

I hope that this is just a typo as it makes no sense. GWB first used the expression “the soft bigotry of low expectations” which, sadly, still exists.

Putting aside the absurdity of the premise, how is it a federal issue?

“Black and Latinx commuters are...”

Latinx is a dispicable sounding word, and I suspect that a good portion of the crash of support for Democrats from Hispanics is due to that one word.

So keep it up!!!! Baldie.

Pressley can take her “Freedom to Move Act” and move her ass down to Cuba.

It has nothing to do with color and everything to do with BEHAVIOR. Behave properly and you won't be "criminalized".

How is Latinx pronounced?

Latinks or Lateeneks? Rhyme with drinks or Kleenex, or maybe with clinics?
