Prejudiced Providers: Addressing Discrimination in Healthcare
[Note: A version of this article originally appeared on Medium.com on March 10, 2021.] In high-income countries, such as the US and the UK, Black populations died of COVID-19 at a staggering rate as compared with white populations. In the US, African Americans died of COVID-19 at 1.9 to 2.8 times the rate of white people; in the UK, Black men and women were respectively 4.2 and 4.3 times more likely than their white counterparts to die from a COVID-19-related illness.

Denial of Care
Ray is a 50-year-old truck driver who has been unable to get insurance due to the high cost based on his profession and past medical history. His wife previously held insurance until she lost her job after her health issues interfered with her ability to perform her job. Those health issues never were fully resolved before her insurance ended after she was let go due to not being able to fully perform her job “requirements”. This left both of them uninsured and struggling to make ends meet on one income and a difficult job market has not helped them recover since his wife has been unemployed for several months now, despite several interviews and hundreds of job applications being sent out.

The Time Has Come For Us To Divest From Harmful Systems By Devoting The Majority Our Political Energy To Building Dual Power
I’ve plugged it before, I’ll plug it again. On my instagram account, I posted an intervention trying to give shape to some ways that voting state, local and downballot can block the worst violence of Project 2025, even as the spectacle and pageantry of the US presidential election distracts us and manufactures our consent for the violent harms of American imperialism such as the current genocide in Gaza.

United States Electoral Discourse. Content Warning.
At this very moment, Republicans are disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters across key swing states by purging their voter registration. On Election Day, it is very likely that many voters will show up, realize that they are no longer registered to vote, and find themselves unable to seek political representation. This authoritarian disenfranchisement could make a Trump win much more likely , and with it, Project 2025 would become the law of the land and elections as we know them could very possibly never happen again.

Our Presidential Votes Hold No Sway - So Why Are We Fighting?
'Tis 4.5 Months Until The Inauguration Day Take that in. We have 141 days until the new president of the United States will take the oath that will dictate their life for the next 4 years of their life. And the closer we get to that date - the more evil, cruel, mean, and toxic American citizens will become to each other.

Socialism in Britain 2024
Socialism in Britain 2024 Socialism at work:- A new socialist government has come in, elected with about one third of votes cast in a very low voter turnout. They claim amazement that the national finances are in such a bad way—yet, unless they are stupid, they, like everyone else knew the economy was still suffering due to global problems. They declare things so bad they must raise taxes and cut benefits to pensioners; a generalised group who are experienced enough to never vote socialist.

Deafening silence: Where is the Hindu rights champion, the BJP government, now?
Deafening silence: Where is the Hindu rights champion, the BJP government, now? After tumultuous recent protests in Dhaka, Sheikh Hasina has finally resigned, but a state of anarchy has ensued. An unruly mob is attacking members and allies of the former government, and unexpectedly, some Hindus in Bangladesh have also come in the line of fire as soft targets. In this precarious situation, it is essential to calm the mob and establish a humanitarian corridor for the persecuted individuals to ensure their safe exit and that goal can never be achieved without the aid of neighboring countries.
