I feel like this should be getting a lot more attention. A Fox News host is proposing we murder the homeless

[Peabody Awards @PeabodyAwards]

Following the racially-charged Black Lives Matter summer of 2020, @abc15 followed up in 2024 with a 32-part series breaking down harrowing accounts of excessive force, discrimination, and rights violations –– adding to the nation’s fifth largest (and most deadly) city police force records.

For dogged investigative reporting and innovative explanatory journalism that stands to influence police practices in Phoenix and beyond for years to come, “Policing Phoenix" is a #PeabodyWinner. 📂🏆

Another day, another @POTUS Executive Order making life worse for everyday Americans. With no plans to get people housing, Trump wants to use the National Park Service to forcibly remove homeless people surviving on federal lands in DC.

Thank god the U.S. Forest Service took the time to consider the impact on the mule deer. https://t.co/gJZWd799yY

For several years, people have been criticizing progressive prosecutors for not enforcing marijuana crimes & similar laws.—calling them lawless and insisting their behavior was unconstitutional.

I’m waiting to see those folks criticize the Trump DOJ on similar terms.

Some much needed good news from the office of @GovernorHobbs. Congratulations, Justice Maria Elena Cruz!

[Governor Katie Hobbs @GovernorHobbs]

She is the daughter of working class parents who came to Arizona and worked hard to give her a better life. For 32 years, she has called Yuma County home. After 113 years, she will be the first Latina and the first Black Arizonan to serve on the Arizona Supreme Court.

This is a big deal. Super proud of my colleague @SiyaHegde and our partners at @UrbanJustice for leading the charge. #HousingNotHandcuffs

BREAKING: We’re suing the Eric Adams admin @NYCMayor to end the City’s cruel and unlawful homeless sweeps.

The only way to reduce homelessness and increase public safety is to ensure all people are safely housed. Full statement: https://t.co/TgagfWCvKa

BIG WIN: Fed Court rules San Diegans can't be ticketed for living in their cars when they have nowhere else to go.

As Penny Helms says, “You can't get rid of homelessness without creating homes.”

We are proud to have played a small role in this victory.

How can we solve homelessness?

"This admin must redirect funds and resources from carceral responses and prioritize access to affordable, safe, inclusive housing with compassionate voluntary support services." -@SiyaHegde NHLC Attorney testifying at the White House yesterday.

[Housing Not Handcuffs @HNHCampaign]

"To combat the criminalization of homelessness and poverty, our movement calls for an urgent, federal anti-criminalization agenda with racial equity and anti-discrimination mandates at the forefront of advancing the human right to housing." -
@SiyaHegde #HousingNotHandcuffs

[Siya Hegde @SiyaHegde]

Stop the Sweeps.

Care not Cops.

Dignity Not Detention.

Housing Not Handcuffs.

Housing Justice for All.

“The only way to end homeless encampments in CA is to end the need for homeless encampments...CA has an affordable housing crisis, and unless Newsom’s executive order is coming with sufficient resources to address that, this new push isn’t going to work.” -Eric Tars @homeless_law

Why is it that any kind of cell phone servicing has to go down like a back alley drug deal or full blown inpatient surgical procedure, no in between?

Thank you @tarajiphenson for speaking up about #JohnsonVGrantsPass!

“Either stay awake or be arrested.”

~ SCOTUS, to 650,000 homeless Americans.

[Will Knight @WillKnightAZ]

CJ Roberts did not announce that the term ends tomorrow, as is typical on the penultimate opinion day, so the Court is probably adding an opinion day to the calendar (likely Monday).

If so, my 💵 is on Grants Pass coming out tomorrow, Trump and Loper (Chevron) next week.

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

Another day has come and gone without a decision in #JohnsonVGrantsPass.

June 28 is the last scheduled opinion day of the year, with 6-7 opinions remaining. It's possible SCOTUS will announce more days for next week.

Stay informed with @HNHCampaign: https://t.co/6SktZXJg7H
