URGENT: DC to clear many homeless encampments tonight (Thur, Aug 7th). Please spread widely and share with media.
My hunch is that this is @MayorBowser working with @realDonaldTrump , but I cannot confirm that yet.
This makes at least 7 deaths in Rikers in 2025 so far. The first 5 were in the first 6 weeks of the year.
FORTY people have died in Rikers under Eric Adams. FORTY.
Two detainees died on Rikers today - one at 3 pm, another at 4:30. Unclear what the causes are right now. DOC says one was in “medical distress,” another was a “medical emergency.”

City governments criminalizing homelessness and throwing out the IDs, birth certificates, and passports of people who live on the streets every week is going to mean some unhoused people who are US Citizens stand a real chance of being deported under this administration.
reminder: if yr signal gc is hundreds large & especially if it is accessible via a group link, you should just go ahead & assume it is being monitored & anything put up there is as public as being on social media. do not underestimate vulnerability of signal. it is not secure.
I have participated in jail support before but it wasn’t until today that I realized how big of an impact it has. When I was finally let out and saw comrades outside with snacks & water & was able to get hugs & cry on shoulders I felt so safe. It’s truly us who keeps us safe.
NYPD Officers will order protesters to get on the sidewalk, and then instigate by grabbing a person who was standing on the sidewalk and arresting them.
This is a terrible video in every way possible. The city of San Diego took an elderly man’s wheelchair today and crushed it in the trash truck..in front of him. This doesn’t solve anything, this is cruelty.

Republicans: Homelessness is a mental health issue!!!!!! Shootings are a mental health issue!!!!!
Republicans: Cut Medicaid from existence, which covers all rehab, detox beds, hospitalizations, prescriptions, and therapy for unhoused and poor people.
People are more outraged at having to see and witness poverty than the fact that people are living in poverty. I'm convinced a segement of the population would be just fine with it if they didn't have to see it.
