I dug into half a million detention records to uncover where the immigration court system is buckling. I identify why courts are drowning under backlogs, where immigrants are crammed into facilities, and which detention centers are profiting. americaninequality.substack.com/p/injustice-...

The geography of hate crimes maps onto economic despair and social fragmentation. Communities under stress turn on their most vulnerable members.

The same communities that lack good schools, jobs, and services also have the highest crime rates. This isn't coincidence - it's structural neglect.

Transit-oriented development isn't just urban planning - it's social justice. Good transit access should be a right, not a luxury good.

The "spatial mismatch" problem: Jobs concentrate in areas where poor people can't afford to live, creating epic commutes that drain time, money, and health.

When affordable housing is far from job centers, working families sacrifice hours of their lives daily just to survive economically. Time is the ultimate inequality.
