Every single gas guzzling car, including mine, is dumping waste into the air. The air is polluted and that causes harm. The car is in effect stealing from the commons.

We have a legacy issue we need to overcome where nothing can be allowed to pollute. This sounds extreme now but in the future we’ll look back and it will just seem obvious.

Social justice is more important but who wants to be set free into a dead world. We need to do all things at all levels, all at once.

Things do domino, so if you want support for the environment, support civil rights. When people have the economic mobility not lost to health debt, they can put energy to your pollution bill. When they are not starving for any food, they can ask what’s in the food.

Mechanisms of control exist and we don’t need tear them down, we need to take them over. We need to yell at our politicians until they are worthy of our vote then we need to vote for them. 🗳️

As we take power we need to clean it up. Remover the filibuster, change the judiciary and destroy gerrymandering.

It’s all linked and we are linked to it.
