Being forced out of your home is traumatic. It harms people’s emotional and mental health. For some homelessness is a real risk. And then think about how we treat homeless people in this city. So cruel.

Hard truths for the left:

Making meaningful progress on issues we care about for people we care about requires finding some common ground with people who you don't see as ideologically pure.

I suggest coming to terms with that instead of bellyaching about your ego.

Without an ethic of love shaping the direction of our political vision and our radical aspirations, we are often seduced, into continued allegiance to systems of domination—imperialism, sexism, racism, classism. — bell hooks

the way we're socialized to see violence only as interpersonal—not see state violence (policies that create poverty/kill), structural violence, institutional violence—is very deliberate. same w/ panics about ~shoplifting~ vs how much corporations steal from every single one of us

I see all these progressives wax poetic about the wonders of social housing and various programs "for the poor."
But there is a price that comes with that "help" - we don't 'help' you unless we deem you "helpless."

@Bambammon hard to pick a favourite feature of this chaos but Kenny’s chief of staff following him around like a personal body guard minding a hyperactive toddler is pretty funny

@richardzussman @caroltreardon we’ll all look back at this election and think “there may not have been (m)any debates, but think of all the signs we saw along the way”
