The most powerful way to deal with the mental health crisis, environmental crisis, healthcare crisis and pretty much every other crisis that defines this modern era is to take aim at the very idea that corporations should rule the world.

If he worked hard he could buy a bigger house with all amenities, a car, various households,AC and a comfortable bed where he could sleep happily. Brother laughed and said, “What do you think I was doing all this while?”

I believe that this is possible. We have the power to change the world, and we must start by changing the way we think about the economy and the role of government. We need to create a new vision for the future, a vision that is based on justice, equality, and sustainability.

There's no addressing this crisis as a whites woman at all. You're not the person to be speaking on that. #decolonize and endorse a third party woman darker than you
