*What is it costing us — as Human Beings and as a Society — to look the other way, when Women, and Children, and innocent People, and young Men of promise, are ripped off the street, and thrown into a van, and disappeared, and you never see them again?*

*There's what that costs them. But think about what it costs you, to look the other way.*

*What does it cost us, as a Society that starts to normalize looking the other way?*

*Then we start looking the other way, as Women bleed-out in parking lots in States that have banned abortion.*

*We start looking the other way, as VRA Districts start to get stripped out of our Congress.*

*We start looking the other way, as the Free Press becomes consumed and intimidated by the very Powers that they exist to check.*

*What does it cost us — and you, as a Human Being — to look the other way?*

*And so, there's the economic cost. Your healthcare is going up. Long-term care for our Parents and Grandparents are gonna skyrocket. It's gonna cost us. It's already costing us.*

*And then there’s, what does it cost our Soul? And that, you know, in a political context, People think that that's naive flowery talk. I don't think it is. Because what is all of this for, if it is not to live a dignified Life, in a Community and Country of integrity?*

\- US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (May 2026)

Trump's ICE actions have major economic costs. But what's the cost of looking the other way, as Women, Children, and innocent People are ripped off the street and disappeared? Especially when we could be helping all People live a dignified Life, in a Community — and Country — of integrity. - AOC
