Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship.

It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.

OPINION: Long before Donald Trump became a politician, an earlier edition of the BBC’s flagship current affairs program plunged the corporation into an existential crisis.

And it offers some crucial lessons.

Our democracy is designed for a world that no longer exists.

It promotes division and fuels anger.

People feel ignored. They don't get what they need.

Instead of solutions, we get scapegoats.

Because that’s easier than fixing the broken system.

Change starts with a functioning democracy.

Trump has granted clemency to more than a dozen people his own Justice Department prosecuted during his first term.

The through line? Their lawyers are connected to Trump — or they have proved their loyalty to him.

It’s all part of Trump’s pardon scheme. Watch:

Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.

Now, his plan to bring down costs is to roll back just a few of the tariffs that he imposed in the first place.

It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Laurence Candy’s farm was certified to Biocyclic Vegan Standards in 2022. He’s already taken a principled stance against animal farming. Now he’s made clear that hunting is not welcome on his land either, and he has contacted the Portman Hunt to say so.

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.

Why debt justice?

Debt has been used for centuries as a tool of exploitation - leading to increased poverty and inequality in the global south.

Debt is used in the UK to punish the poor in a system that is rigged for the rich and wealthy.

This injustice CAN be stopped
