For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

The Trump regime illegally redacted the names of various men, including the President, who likely committed heinous crimes against women and girls, while illegally releasing nude photos and names of possible victims.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

For Alex Jeffery Pretti
Murdered by ICE January 24, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
We wake with
no words, just woe
& wound. Our own country shoot
ing us in the back is not just brutal
ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement,
but execution. A message: Love your people & you
will die. Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders
among us, but those among us who never look
within. Fear not the those without paper, but those without conscience. Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world wait
ing, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may
we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our
humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open
ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor,
& save one more bright, impossible life.
if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our
humanity

For Alex Pretti
Because his last words were for a woman;
because he asked,
are you okay, are you okay;
because he had learned to say it
by standing each night beside the dying;
because sometimes he held their hands;
because he had lived only as long
as the scent of childhood in an album;
because he was a son;
because he sang once;
because of all of it,
because of all of it,
because of all of it,
tell it, tell the story:
a breath has left;
a country is dying;
and a man laid his face
on its pavement today
as though he were listening
to a patient's heartβ
even then, even at the endingβ
to do what he was there to do: heal.
