Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.
It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Meatpacking giants Perdue and JBS will pay a combined $8M penalty for employing migrant children as young as 13 to work in their slaughterhouses.

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs:
Seniors: 77.8%
Survivors: 11.2%
People w/Disabilities: 11%
It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure EVERYONE is seen.
