AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

In the past year, Trump has promised...
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
So far, no checks have materialized.

In a win for Trump's mass deportation program, a devastating court ruling now allows for indefinite immigration detention without bond hearings. With ICE looking to scale up its detention facility capacity, people are fighting back.
The ICE Prisons and Camps Are About To Get A Lot Worse
A head-spinning appellate decision just greenlit detentions without end, supercharging an already horrific human rights crisis.

There’s no war.
The US wasn’t attacked, and isn’t under imminent threat.
Congress didn’t authorize it.
Treaties don’t allow it.
Drugs aren’t armaments.
Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists.
Even with all that, we don’t know these were all drug traffickers.
And even if they were, they’re low level.
