The FTC just voted 3-0 to drop this case — that's effectively an endorsement of the predatory tactics Walmart uses to crush local grocery sores, create food deserts, and drive up prices. This will hit working-class, rural, and Black communities hardest.

After Indiana University stationed military-grade snipers on a rooftop at an encampment last year, FIRE didn’t think the state of free speech on their campus could get worse. Turns out rock bottom has a basement. Now, we need your help.
