nullagentThe US government doesn't want to help house our homeless, so they're clearing the path to fine and jail them instead.
I've seen countless times how quickly demonizing the homeless can turn into demonizing anyone who dares to have compassion.
This evil ruling will not just criminalize the homeless, it's likely to also allow cities to criminalize mutual aid as well.
Absolutely can not stand.
More than anything this feels like a new route to prison slave labor. How will homeless people ever make bail?

If homelessness is to be criminalized, then Wage Theft and Rent Fixing should be Felonies w/mandatory prison time as they're both significant contributors to the homeless crisis.

It's absolutely a pipeline to prison labor.

Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸@nullagent I’ve started framing this as “Illegal to exist without money or friends with money.”
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.The origin of homelessness (#disaccommodation #classposture) as a national project begins with two prongs:
• the moral panic over traumatized Civil War veterans who failed to assimilate into marriage and family; AND
• the social upheaval of newly freed folk, without access to property, in a society that had only years prior depended on their labor.
The latter gave us vagrancy laws designed to force folk into sharecropping so to avoid being arrested for not having a place to live.

What's sad is that many, perhaps most of these homeless people are disadvantaged, and not just financially.
They need help and support, therapy, possibly medicine. They don't need persecution.
Weyoun 6@nullagent yes, the homeless to slave labor pipeline will be necessary to offset job losses from Trump's plan to disappear migrants.
