FTP. Follow this story. Call these numbers. Be prepared to act to show that Atlanta is not alone.

Wonder which part of Austin’s housing budget these came out of?

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Makes total sense that that #atxcouncil approved this contract over public outcry. Council’s end goals have always been to “disappear” the poor in more palatable way.

@dallasnews While y’all are here, please help spread this call to bombard one of the contractors responsible for sweeps in Austin, TX with public input! https://t.co/btvbva6y96

Trotter House masquerades as a health center, but explicitly directs people way from abortions, in the heart of a student neighborhood, where there are no clinics.

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

At Trotter House @ 2717 Rio Grande, fake “Abortion Crisis Center” posing as a health option for people who are pregnant, they form part of the on the ground infrastructure for the anti-abortion movement.

Austin Police arrest demonstrator at Abortion Autonomy protest. Crowd chants to let them go. FTP!

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

APd found the only woman cop seen at the demo to tell people to clear Congress Ave. Crowd not taking requests.

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

What the fuck do you call this? @KXAN_News is just writing down cop lies and saying it’s news!

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Cops in LA ready to rumble too.

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Then why are your cops out there throwing people around?

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Austin Police arrest demonstrators out of the middle of Abortion Autonomy March earlier Tuesday. Fuck the Supreme Court and Fuck the Police. https://t.co/4i2PXTgad5

Austin Real Estate is propped up by the forced displacement of the poor.

For every person “housed” by HEAL and every headline city council members like @CMChitoVela make taking credit for bouncing sweep targets to the front of the HEAL line, dozens are robbed and displaced over and over and over.

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

#atxcouncil members are celebrating the “end” of segregationist rules while segregationist sweeps, targetted at a disproportionately black houseless population have been city policy for years.

[UnDo 512 @undo512]

Another “progressive” council member thanking the police today… this will be remembered the next time they shoot someone in her district.
