This is very important. The capitalist concept of public health has nothing to do with the well being of people.
It's based on cost-benefit analysis. As long as exploitation (aka 'the economy') can continue growing for the elites, then any human cost is justified

"We're not going to lock down our economy or our schools," despite delta variant of coronavirus, @PressSec says. "We are not going back. We are not turning back the clock."

#AOC vote is not surprising for us. Politicians play politics. What is more interesting is how Israel's foreign minister called congressman Steny Hoyer asking for the house to pass the $1 billion bill ASAP.
Democracy at its best!

The disappearance of Gabby Petito in Wyoming has caused a national outcry.
However, missing and murdered Indigenous people get less media coverage.
In the same state, 710 Indigenous people were reported missing from 2011 to 2020, a report found. ⬇️

Patricia shared a pic from the plum orchards in Visalia CA. Plums are a very nutritious fruit as they are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, fiber & antioxidants. When you enjoy a plum as part of a healthy diet, remember the work of farm workers like Patricia. #WeFeedYou

For Labor Day 2021 a good message to frustrated activists from a great organizer of the past: "For decades nothing seems to happen, and then, in a few weeks, decades happen." How societies often change.

#BartolinaSisa es la mujer indígena aymara que enfrentó el colonialismo y por eso la mataron un 5 de septiembre de 1782. Su huella y legado son la memoria que anima la lucha de millones de Warmis en el continente Abya Yala.
Jallalla Bartolina Sisa!
Leftists need to stop talking about Public Health as a solution.
Public Health is based on economic and political decisions to continue exploitation (aka economy).
We need #SocialMedicine aimed to care for and improve people's quality of life with an interdisciplinary approach.
When thousand of well known white fascists want to storm the Capitol police is nowhere to be found.
When a handful of brave water protectors wants to demonstrate peacefully hundreds of cops surround them.

Latinos are the hardest hit ethnicity during this pandemic. In some counties Latinos had 11 times more probability to be hospitalized or die than whites. We clearly live in a model that see us as expendable, politics won't change that.
Luta pela Vida, the Struggle for Life, takes the Esplanada, in front of the Brazilian Congress. 6,000 Indigenous people from 140 different tribes make their voices heard in one of the largest protest encampments in Brazilian history. #ForaBolsonaro#LutapelaVida
Yara harvests grapes in the San Joaquin Valley. She tells Congress, "I am a sister, daughter and aunt. But I have had to go 16 years without seeing my family. We need #FarmWorkerLegalization. Please help us. May god bless you." #WeAreHome#WeFeedYou
Maybe also the US should stop invading other people's land and/or creating war/economic crises around the globe which end up with millions becoming refugees.
Zapatistas take to the streets of Madrid! 500 years after the "discovery of America,” Mayan Zapatistas are at the place where colonizers left from, not with the desire to dominate but to learn, listen & create connections to fight for life! 💦❤️ 📸:@Dal_air
