2/ The cruel neglect of masses of people’s survival needs during the pandemic has been a natural extension of how the system had been working even before. Incremental change will not fix this. We need a fundamental disruption of the political & economic status quo.

3/ The election of Biden doesn’t mean the emergency is over. Trump was a symptom, not a cause of the underlying emergency & it is still with us. WH & Congressional Dems will take a quick sharp turn towards economic justice, or fascism will come to America & this time it will stay
