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.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Alberta's new two-tier legislation encourages a private health insurance market for services covered under the Canada Health Act.

This is classic scapegoating — blaming refugees for a healthcare crisis caused by decades of underfunding and privatization.

These charges are cruel and punitive. We won’t fix a broken system by putting up new barriers for people who are already struggling.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.

He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.

The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.

ICE reportedly denied the request.
