America’s cities are ratcheting up controversial ‘sweeps’ of homeless encampments, but still failing to find a solution: ‘We’re not trash, we’re people’

@weyoun6 @kmontenegro Every time they do that, it’s theft of someone’s personal property.
@weyoun6 @julia @kmontenegro It's really amazing how bad Americans officials are at thinking of obvious non-cruel solutions like public housing and #panelki.

It has also been *repeatedly* calculated to cost *less* than the current approach. So they're also gratuitously misappropriating and wasting public funds. So even from their *own* argumentation they should be removed from their offices.

@lispi314 @julia @kmontenegro @weyoun6

they manufacture suffering for profit and have convinced us the poor and foreign are the criminals.

@lispi314 @julia @kmontenegro @weyoun6 it's happening in the UK too. Evil, heartless, inhumane.
