One of the best pieces @voiceofsandiego has written on the subject of homelessness. Thank you @vosdscott for such a thoughtful article!

Hi! My name is Bowie. I’ve got a reputation for stealing candy from babies and growling when my slumber is disturbed. My parents would never hurt me for being me. They aren’t monsters like @KristiNoem #KristiNoemIsAMonster

@PippaLaJollaDog @KristiNoem We love and support you @PippaLaJollaDog

@dznarayanan @curaffairs Love your article! Harari’s perspective on justice versus peace is particularly troubling to me right now.

It is divisive to call for peace without working for justice.

It is uncivilized to ask for civility while prospering from and perpetuating systemic violence.

“True peace,” my father said, “is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

I had the opportunity to write an op-Ed for the @sdut sharing my thoughts on behalf of @Townspeople_SD about why San Diego’s recent encampment ban won’t end homelessness but how permanent housing will. #housingfirst #townspeople

[San Diego Union-Tribune Opinion @sdutOpinion]

In opposition: "Actions like encampment bans fail to address the underlying causes of homelessness," @MelissaRPete of Townspeople writes.

San Diego must instead focus on long-term solutions.

@emmapwill @TaylorLorenz It is really maddening to hear elected officials whom I have respected (and thought were progressive) use such hateful rhetoric and promote legislation that is beyond harmful. Thank you for raising awareness on this issue and pointing advocates towards groups that are doing good!
