The thing that's infuriating about our squeamishness about consequences for traitors and corrupt officials is that we are one of the most punitive countries in the world in most other respects.

This is one my primary responses to the "why is everything about race?" framing. The interstate highway system connected this country and enabled commerce on a massive scale. Its planners also designed it to deliberately destroy Black community and prosperity.

On this Labor Day in the U.S., please recall that we live in an extractive system in which we are a resource to be used and used up. The greatest tool of self defense we have is a union. If you can join a union, join. If you cannot, work towards worker solidarity in your field. Good luck to us all.
