No one should have to put up with this shit but in particular kids should not have to put up with this shit
Indoor trick-or-treat events. Candy dropoffs. Neighbors patrolling with whistles.

This is how Chicagoans are helping kids have a safe and ICE-free Halloween this year: blockclubchi.co/47qJSzi.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Let's help Clay out here with some math.

The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.

$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.

Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.

Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

When the media covers Trump they always play the "I was born yesterday" game where none of Trump's previous lies and grifts are taken into context when reporting on Trump's current lies and grifting. The author in this case is calling this a "trade deal" instead of calling it lies and bullshit.

"In a sweeping purge that affected cities from Denver to Philadelphia, the ICE leadership across about half of the country was removed — making room to replace them with leaders from the Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)...the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done"
