It is #LaborDay in US & Canada.

Recognize the workers who have kept countries open at great risk to themselves - grocery stores , hospitals, sanitation, transportation, delivery, many others. What does the economy do for them?

When regimes & billionaires say “Reopen America” “Reopen xx” etc, always ask:
- whose labour is ignored?
- whose work is appreciated?
- why “essential” workers are so un/der/valued?

Always say fuck the capitalist patriarchy

To those who are clamouring to “go back to normal” and to “reopen” for the sake of an economy that harms those who are most un/der/valued, I say:

Fuck normal.
