Social Darwinism and blatant eugenics are the cruelty now- see Harper's magazine, July; read the article- Easy Chair-Trumps Darwinian America, July Index, and Readings- Libel to Do Anything. The top 2% who have sold out are OKAY with the bottom 98% dying off.

Trump is turning pardons into political currency — and the evidence is piling up fast.
Sen. Chris Murphy warned that Trump’s new pardon spree looks like “somebody is getting rich.” The pattern is unmistakable:
It’s a pay-to-play scheme, not justice, and it’s time for Congress to investigate.

ryone should read this letter from some of the Epstein survivors about the Department of Justice’s actions mirroring the "very dynamics Epstein relied upon”.
The survivors deserve justice and accountability NOW.

ICE arbitrarily determined that some immigrants are no longer eligible for bond hearings, a policy that flies in the face of the right to due process.
This is a policy that over 300 judges have rejected 1,600 times.
Trump must follow the law and rescind this policy.

How can we push back on the normalization of racism?
Racist Alert! Laura Loomer is very upset at “Illegal aliens and Latin “hookers” twerking at the SuperBowl” and “This isn’t White enough for me.”

This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving real workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.

We have a two-tiered system of justice in this country.
One for the rich, powerful, and well-connected.
Another for everyone else.
