CALIFORNIANS! I just sent this letter to the sub5 budget committees supporting prison closure ahead of their February meetings: https://t.co/HoN0WnLVGg. Join the fight by sending the letter and sharing! #CloseCAPrisons@CURBprisons
@two__evils @bsonenstein “The recipe—withdrawing protections and resources while policing the chaos withdrawal creates—reveals racism not as mere speech but as practice; not as simple prejudice but as power: It produces unequal lives and premature deaths.”
@two__evils @bsonenstein “In other words, these council members promote policies that produce homelessness and then criminalize it, entrapping tenants, predominantly tenants of color, in a cycle of eviction and incarceration.”
Rachel Self, a Boston immigration attorney tells you everything you need to know about immigrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard.
They’d been given falsified U.S. addresses by immigration officials, perhaps ensuring that they’d be deemed in the country illegally.
@StuffCCLikes@brandonjobrien Scrolling all the way through- this is the ONLY response that addresses the message of Jesus. He wanted us to actually DO what he did. Why has no one else addressed this? All the other answers are what I heard growing up evangelical. It’s a self serving Gospel-not one of service
The George Floyd/Breonna Taylor protests were the biggest longest running protests in US history. We demanded funds be reallocated from huge police budgets to community investment and the DEMOCRATIC party has subsequently said "lol nah. Here's more police."
@HamasakiLaw@PplsCityCouncil Villanueva had written an email to the brass “calling them morally bankrupt and corrupt,” Rodriguez said. “I thought it was career suicide and it was a bad idea for me to be involved in that. So I went my own way.” 😐 so, he’s less courageous than… Villanueva? 😟
has all the horrible homelessness coverage tropes
✔️no unhoused people (the actual subject of the article) quoted
✔️ no homeless advocates quoted
✔️ casually genocidal “clean up” language to refer to humans
✔️ 90% police stenography
✔️ PR curated euphemisms like “curb homeless”
@PressSec Weak response. This falls Incredibly short. This means NOTHING. They failed at “ensuring the safety and security is of journalists and ind media is a paramount responsibility”, so now what will the US do? Nothing?!
