"At least as it relates to the protesters at the Portland ICE facility, Antifa is an “ideology” and is “shorthand for ‘anti-fascists.’”
This Court also received limited evidence4 about “Antifa.” From that evidence, this Court finds as follows: At least as it relates to the protesters at the Portland ICE facility, Antifa is an “ideology” and is “shorthand for ‘anti-fascists.’” Tr. 10/29/2025 160:8–10. This Court finds credible Commander Schoening’s testimony that, at least in Portland, Antifa is not an “organized group where you have membership.” Tr. 10/29/2025 160:18–23. He also testified that “Antifa” is a “common term” with “public order professionals,” but often there is “overuse of the term incorrectly” and “overgeneralization of the term.” Tr. 10/29/2025 160:13–17. Commander Schoening has 23 years of policing experience in Portland and at least 8 years of experience working for PPB’s Rapid Response Team. Tr. 10/29/2025 33:25–39:3. Commander Schoening has unique familiarity with organized protest groups and political activists in Portland

It's 100 pages, and yes I will be reading it. Maybe I'll summarize it but I bet other will get to that deed before me.

Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!
Is the Social Safety Net a Long-Term Investment? Large-Scale Evidence from the Food Stamps Program Martha J. Bailey, Hilary W. Hoynes, Maya Rossin-Slater & Reed Walker X LinkedIn Facebook Bluesky Threads Email Link Working Paper 26942 DOI 10.3386/w26942 Issue Date April 2020 We use novel, large-scale data on 43 million Americans from the 2000 Census and the 2001 to 2013 American Communities Survey linked to the Social Security Administration’s NUMIDENT to study how a policy-driven increase in economic resources for families affects children’s long-term outcomes. Using variation from the county-level roll-out of the Food Stamps program between 1961 and 1975, we find that children with access to greater economic resources before age five experience an increase of 6 percent of a standard deviation in their adult human capital, 3 percent of a standard deviation in their adult economic self-sufficiency, 8 percent of a standard deviation in the quality of their adult neighborhoods, 0.4 percentage-point increase in longevity, and a 0.5 percentage-point decrease in likelihood of being incarcerated. Based on these estimates, we conclude that Food Stamps’ transfer of resources to families is a highly cost-effective investment into young children, yielding a marginal value of public funds of approximately 56.
