Real people telling their stories. Many of us are way closer to potential homelessness than we are willing to admit.

A brutal reality is revealed here: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.
When the employed are pushed into homelessness
In America we are taught hard work is the key to success. But despite having full-time jobs, many families are locked out of the rental housing market, due to low wages, soaring rents and poor credit, and have been pushed into homelessness. In this two-part report, senior contributor Ted Koppel talks with Brian Goldstone, author of "There Is No Place For Us: Working and Homeless in America," about the big business of homelessness; and with families who have struggled to pay inflated rates at "extended-stay hotels" catering to the desperate.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

In the past week, four U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, including a 17-year-old McMinnville student. These arrests are the most recent in a dangerous pattern of federal abuse of power and disregard for constitutional protections. #protectoregon #oregonishome

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

SNAP benefits should be funded and NEVER used like a bargaining chip in some game. These are people’s lives but this regime and the oligarchs that funded them don’t care so long as they make their quarterly profits or enrich themselves just a little more. We need to say ENOUGH of this!

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
