UPDATE: New York State goes after the Sackler family's opioid fortune, claims they funneled their Oxy millions through offshore laundries

The point is - we need solidarity if we are to achieve justice… and tone policing ain’t it.

Spend more time taking action against inequity.

Propriety does not rightness make; the foulest racist is still a racist even when couching words in pretensions of scholasticism. So too are the robber barons unjust, and the poor justified in calling for redress.

Redress will not come until the system is reformed and the influence of the robber baron purged. Until the coffers are returned to the people and exploitation ceases, we are justified in word and action.

Sacklers fortune is literal blood money, an empire built on corpses. Don’t lecture me about what verbal imagery to evoke.
