đ° Whatâs Happening Right Now
đ° Trump Pocketed At Least $1.4 Billion in First Year Back in Office in Unprecedented âExploitation of the Presidencyâ
A watchdog analysis found that Donald Trump and his family accumulated at least $1.4 billion during his first year back in office, linking policy decisions, business ventures, and financial gains to what critics describe as an extraordinary use of presidential power for private enrichment. The report argues this pattern reflects a broader system of conflicts of interest between governing and personal profit. Common Dreams
Why This Matters:
Allegations of large-scale personal profit tied to presidential authority raise serious ethical and constitutional questions about corruption, conflicts of interest, and democratic accountability. The controversy underscores ongoing debates about safeguards needed to protect public office from private gain.
đ Trump-led abuses amid âdemocratic recessionâ put human rights in peril, HRW report says
A new Human Rights Watch report warns that nearly three-quarters of the worldâs population now lives under autocratic rule, describing a global âdemocratic recessionâ driven in part by actions from the United States under President Trump alongside sustained pressure from China and Russia. The report details attacks on democratic norms, media, courts, and civil society, while urging democratic nations and social movements to unite to defend the rules-based international order. â The Guardian
Why This Matters: The erosion of democratic governance and human rights across major global powers signals a systemic threat to international law, accountability, and civil liberties worldwide. Without coordinated resistance from democratic institutions and civil society, the weakening of the rules-based order could accelerate authoritarian influence and endanger fundamental freedoms for billions.
đ§ââď¸ ICE places ankle monitor on Md. woman who provided U.S. birth certificate
A Maryland woman, Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, was detained by ICE for 25 days despite presenting a U.S. birth certificate, immunization records, and other evidence supporting her citizenship, and is now required to wear an ankle monitor while the government continues its case. Her lawyers assert that the federal agency shifted the burden of proof unfairly onto her, raising due-process concerns over federal immigration enforcement. The Washington Post
Why This Matters: This case highlights serious civil-rights and procedural issues in immigration enforcement, potentially setting a precedent that could affect other U.S. citizens wrongly targeted in the immigration system.
Children across the United States are experiencing fear, grief, and disrupted learning as immigration raids affect families, with educators and therapists reporting rising trauma, absences, and emotional distress among students. Millions of children live with undocumented relatives or face deportation risks themselves, intensifying anxiety even as communities mobilize support networks to protect studentsâ safety and education. Truthout
Why This Matters: Immigration enforcement is shaping childhood stability, mental health, and access to education for millions, raising urgent concerns about long-term social and developmental harm. Protecting studentsâ safety and learning environments is central to community wellbeing and equal opportunity.

This is our why
For nearly 250 years, democracy has been the lifeblood of this nationânot handed down by kings or bought by billionaires, but built and sustained by everyday people. It lives in our families and neighborhoods, in classrooms and clinics, on job sites and in voting lines. Itâs the teacher guiding the next generation, the nurse caring for their community, the worker keeping society moving, and the voter who refuses to be silenced.
Power has always belonged to the people. Thatâs why protecting democracy is not optionalâitâs our shared responsibility. When we defend it, we defend one another, our freedoms, and the future we are shaping for generations yet to come.
