Do you know how many illegal evictions there are in your city? The local news doesn't report on it every time a family is illegally thrown into the street, just when someone shoplifts deodorant. The biased curation of anecdote affects which law violations we perceive as urgent.

We're doing an in-person training on Friday, August 26 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM in City Hall Park! Afterwards, we'll be doing an (optional) group cop watching shift.

Training is open to everyone (except cops). Bring a fully-charged phone if you plan to stay for the group shift.

This is not the kind of community I want. This thread is so much worse than any of the stories of "wild west lawlessness" people have been using to scare up support for police.

And this police show of force was done on a night when a BTV cop had just shot someone. Chilling.

i am begging *begging* people to understand that housing for all would do more to combat domestic violence than the police currently do.

The irony of capital is that a worker can be evicted from their home when it is owned by their own pension fund.

Who owns the capital is irrelevant to its reproduction of the social relations through which it rules us. It turns every owner into its mere representative.

If you don’t understand the concept of “carceral housing” (which is neither housing nor a pathway to housing) read this excerpt from our article in @Radical_Housing about Project Roomkey: Note “NO TENANCY IS CREATED”: https://t.co/tmfwgHUJPV

Dang. In Paris, they tore down a police station and built this.

Yep, social housing: 8 low-income units on a tiny piece of land. 6th arrondissement, blocks from Jardin du Luxembourg.

Stone facade (quarried locally to boot), green roof, energy efficient
