This is a terribly misleading graphic which uses a non-zero-based Y axis to make a 1% difference seem much larger.
I recommend Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information".
The percentages represent SNAP participation rates among U.S. households headed by immigrants from those nationalities, not the share of total SNAP benefits or recipients. Data from refugee reports and analyses (e.g., ORR, Migration Policy Institute) show elevated usage for recent arrivals like Afghans and Somalis due to poverty upon resettlement, often exceeding 40%. These groups comprise a minuscule fraction of overall SNAP users, who are mostly native-born citizens facing their own economic hardships.
BREAKING: Trump has ordered the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.
This famous photo is one of them.
Please paste this image everywhere. Don't let them erase history.
Information at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves is also being removed.
BREAKING NEWS:
Judge John Coughenour came out with the following statement after issuing a preliminary injunction on Trumps executive order for ending birthright citizenship.
"It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals.
The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain…
There are moments in the world's history where people look back and ask, ‘Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?" Coughenour said.
"In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today."
Thank you, Judge Coughenour!
RT if you agree with him! 💙
From District Attorney of San Francisco to Attorney General of California, to United States Senator, and then Vice President of the United States, I’m incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished and all that lies ahead. Every day, I feel so lucky to be by your side. Love you always, @VP.
Elon Musk is mounting a blitzkrieg-style administrative coup of the US government, accessing & editing critical systems that manage everything from Social Security payments to private taxpayer info. Join @IndivisibleTeam in DC today to demand a stop to it: https://t.co/VJuKsBKRPj
Dear MAGA,
Just a reminder: Next time you cash that Social Security or disability check, take a moment and thank an undocumented immigrant. Last year, they kicked in $25 billion to the fund, keeping it alive. Deport them all? Say goodbye to $13 billion annually. Unlike Trump, they pay in, don’t take a dime out, and help keep costs manageable for everyone else.
So maybe skip the blame game for five minutes and hug an undocumented immigrant instead. They've earned it more than the guy who promised you a wall. Thank you.
(📢) FYI—I will be leaving this cesspool now known as X and moving over to BlueSky. X is a hateful, utterly soulless propaganda platform and its owner, the Dork MAGA is planning to bring an apartheid to the US.

@jeffdornik I'll take the definition from Trump's generals than from an anti-vaxxer conspiracist head of a failing social media company nobody's heard of LMAO
(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.
Someone is going to be paying more taxes after this election. It can either be you or the billionaires like @elonmusk
Vote to have the billionaires pay their fair share.

Georgia: Vice President Harris Predicted to Win
Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to secure victory in Georgia, thereby gaining 16 electoral votes.
Key Insights from the Forecast:
• It appears that Georgia has not fully learned from the 2020 election experiences, which may lead to renewed concerns about the integrity of the vote and electoral procedures.
• The Harris campaign is projected to significantly outspend the Trump campaign in Georgia.
• Reports of financial impropriety involving election workers may emerge.
• This race is not anticipated to be competitive, with Vice President Harris expected to achieve a decisive victory. Therefore, any legal challenges are unlikely to have a substantial impact on the 2024 election.
• The projected success of the Harris campaign in Georgia is likely to stem from their effective management of narratives across different demographic groups.
• Despite the expected loss, President Trump, though frustrated with the electoral management issues, is likely to remain focused on other states, as he does not appear to be relying on Georgia for his overall victory.

@joerogan Come on, @joerogan. It’s not reasonable to expect Kamala Harris to travel to you for an interview in the final days of her campaign. She agreed to do your podcast if you travel to her, and that sounds fair. You could cover a LOT of issues in one hour.
I hope you’ll reconsider.
