Erasing Native Chicago Through Settler Occupation - Sixty Inches From Center

A breakdown of how Chicago's city seal and the city's other colonial projects perpetuate violence against Native peoples and buttress anti-Blackness.

Sixty Inches From Center
Chicago Police giving out police swag and collecting names at the anti-homeless people Uptown Church Chicago church festival in 2021.

Recently in 2024 this church opposed the rezoning for a homeless shelter, leading to a zoning denial that prevented the shelter from opening and housing unhoused people.

My old #neighborhood got #gentrified. Now I ask...if the people who used to live in #BarrrioLogan were migrant workers and the gentrifiers have forced almost all migrants out, then who does what the migrants used to do?

What do #gentrifiers do when they price themselves out of the #realestate #market?

Who pushes gentrifiers out of the neighborhood? What happens to gentrified neighborhoods?

Wondering if a virus that attacks #propertyDevelopers and #gentrifiers and other #imperial and #colonialist forces would be good too.

What do these ppl have in common?

Is there a Propensity for #Hedonist Consumption and #Usury and Psychopathy combination of #genes that we can target them with?

DID YOU KNOW: #TheOlympics is a #gentrifiers wet-dream and does more to hurt people and entrench privilege and access, than most other global events.

Its not something we can sustain, especially not in its current form.

We've been refraining from talking about this #MiamiTower destruction on Fedi, which is wrong.

When the #GrenfellTowers burned, we were heavy on #UK and the dodgy #gentrifiers, that created the situation.

From what we can tell, this event could have been avoided. It seems a criminally negligent case of #gentrifyAndForget.

Their motto seems to be pocket the gains, socialize the losses.

You'd have thought that post-COVID, govts would know better than to indulge the #gentrifiers, #rentSeekers, and #speculators, but no.

At least in #Australia the #oligarchs are marching ahead with their destructive, #highrise third-worldisation process.

Most so-called leaders in this country are rentSeekers themselves or sychophants to their #corporateDonors.
