Thousands of people die every year because their survival would lower profits.

Healthcare, like journalism, needs to be non-profit. Neither our lives nor our democracy should be contingent on profit margins.

You can read the thread or just go read the essay. It's amazing (and not too long to interrupt your doomscrolling).
elmcitytree.blacksky.app Jonathan W. Gray @elmcitytree.blacksky.app · Oct 5
James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:
Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.
