It costs the average taxpayer $34 a year to fund SNAP.
It costs nearly $200 a day to detain an immigrant in an ICE camp.
Your tax dollars are paying to detain people without due process instead of providing healthcare, food & housing.
Let that radicalize you.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
