Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

SchrΓΆdinger's young adults: Both fearsome terrorists who need to be deported from the United States for so much as writing an op-ed, and also just kids telling jokes for which they can't be expected to be held accountable.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Antifa is a term used by the far right to define anyone who does not support MAGA: it means β€œantifascist.”
