What the fuck do they mean homeless people aren’t protected from cruel and unusual punishments?
they overdramatazing little bit, but you can now fine homeless people for sleeping in public spaces (despite absence of shelters), which is straight to jail process if stretched a little bit in time
Push down wages and drive up inflation.
Lock people out of basic housing.
Criminalize homelessness.
Cheap source of labor.
Profit!
Homelessness is illegal in the US.
Because the state mandates people have housing right?

Arm the homeless
getting real hard to make excuses for the terror
A homeless person shooting a frothing chud for pepper spraying their tent is self-defense.
Seriously how can we protect this vulnerable group. I generally want to know if anyone knows what’s been successful in other cities to 1) stop terrorizing/traumatizing them and 2) house them
- work with local advocacy orgs. food not bombs is also a great way to meet local leftists, in any case. but generally there are already orgs in every city attempting this fight on the ground. they provide services and serve as a nexus for direct action.
- show up enmass to local government meetings to cause a stink when they try to enact harmful policies.
- prevent the cops from targeting encampments by putting bodies in between (preferably armed).
I don’t say this enough: Death to America.
It always puts a smile on my face when I see Amerikans cry pig tears whenever a billionaire in China or Vietnam gets jailed for corruption.
: “Corruption is punishable!?!? Why do those poor browns hate FREEDOM so much!?!?”
Something something reserve army of labor.
In a 6-3 decisionnever have I felt more deeply the truth of the “scratch a liberal” quote than reading reactions to this on west coast subreddits
“broken clocks” from “I care about the homeless but…” libs everywhere
welcome to the resistance, Justice Thomas
Worth noting: shelters aren’t really an option, except for the people who want us out of sight.
The Constitution’s Eighth Amendment serves many important functions, but it does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy
just perfect double speak
Rather than criminalize mere status, Grants Pass forbids actions like “occupy[ing] a campsite” on public property “for the purpose of maintaining a temporary place to live.” Grants Pass Municipal Code Under the city’s laws, it makes no difference whether the charged defendant is homeless, a backpacker on vacation passing through town, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protes on the lawn of a municipal building.
just literally and unironically that_Anatole_France_quote.jpg
The quote for those wondering:
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
What a slapt in the face to working class people, for they are the only ones who are forced to do these things.
This is what immediately came to my mind too. Holy shit. Too on the nose
look, how are we supposed to tell NIMBYs that all homeless people are criminals if we don’t criminalize homelessness?
