U.S. Democracy and Civic Engagement Crisis

The U.S. democracy and civic engagement crisis is intensifying, with a surge in tensions over Trump's immigration policies and a marked increase in the death penalty influenced by political factors. Protests in response to U.S. actions abroad, particularly in Cuba, alongside Trump's controversial media tactics are deepening public divisions. As international pressures like China's trade warnings loom, civic discontent continues to rise, reflecting a broader climate of unrest.
