As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

Orbán does more for Russia and its interests than even Putin himself.
He is a true traitor to Hungary, yet a real Russian hero, willing to do anything to help Russia in its genocide of Ukrainians

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

They are openly saying this.

A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics.
There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game.
Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.

Trump:
I thought that we were very close with Russia to having a deal,with Ukraine
Well,there's 4 or 5 different parts.It's a little bit complicated because you're cutting up land in a certain way.It's not the easiest thing.It's sort of like a complex real estate deal times a thousand,right?

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”
