Workers are forced to pay for these crisises by a money mad financial oligarchy that rules over this country.
There is more than enough money to stop these crises from claiming lives, but it requires the working class expropriating the oligarchy
Otherwise, they will continue to make workers pay.

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.
These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people.
Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.
The truth is we can’t afford not to.

"Any association with the Democratic Party is politically fatal for a genuine movement in opposition to Trump’s fascist policies. Its attempt to make opposition to Trump synonymous with war against Russia plays directly into his hands."
The two oppositions:
1. Democrats representing ruling class layers who oppose Trump's foreign policy but support his social counter-revolution
2. Working class which has no interest in war nor Trump's counter-revolution
1 and 2's interests are incompatible. 🧵(1/3)
