    American COVID Policy- Eugenics with a Sticker

    The implication and action of leaving "high risk" populations to fend for themselves is a policy of eugenics. We are disposable, and with 40% of the country having at least one chronic illness, that makes 40% of us disposable as a "drag on the nation" to some, and a sacrifice to capitalism for others.

    Cops in MMSD: using a stick over community is a colonial mentality

    The mentality of those who believe putting cops in schools will end the fights at East High school, is a mentality that using a stick is how you keep order, especially among Black and Brown populations. It is a colonial mentality. It also is one that doesn't understand the dynamics of our society, of behavior, the threat of violence through police may create order but it won't create safety; many times not the former either. What does this tell us about these people? How can we understand our social dynamics and what can be done?

    MMSD fights and community alternatives to police, with another "cops keep lying"

But another district, which at the surface level seems to have had a worse fighting problem, solved this through community and community alternatives.

And then to wrap up, a couple of high profile examples of police lying, again, and one of them is within Madison.
