This summer, IGD turned 7! As things heat up again on the streets - we're more excited than ever to continue to be an engaging autonomous media platform. We're also in a crisis + need to raise $2k by the end of the month to continue. Help us meet our goal! https://itsgoingdown.org/igd-turns-7-call-for-support/

It's so reassuring to know that the people responsible for managing our national economy are hard at working making sure more people become unemployed ("softening labor market conditions"). Heart-warming stuff, that.

Haneefah Khaaliq is running as a write-in candidate for US Senator in Indiana.
