These systems of capitalism and colonialism are ANTI-life.
They oppose collective care and flourishing.
They are designed to profit the few by subjugating the masses and pillaging the earth.
They are built to keep us struggling for our individual and immediate families' survival, at others' expense.

And you can’t unlink either of these from the genocide of Native Americans or the enslavement of Black people.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Police contact of any kind is not innocuous: most police killings start with officers responding to a suspected non-violent situation or a case where no crime has been reported.
