The next time a politician claims we canβt house the homeless, feed the starving or give medical care to the poorβ¦. remember that they were able to build a concentration camp in 8 days.
We could provide for everyone if we wanted to, but instead weβre spending the money on fascist facilities and cutting taxes for the wealthy.

@broadwaybabyto anyone can throw up a bunch of wire dog cages in eight days though
It's not a sign of how fast they can do shit, it's a sign of how little they care
@broadwaybabyto Look what we managed in #Ottawa, #Canada. It's a start and a move in the right, humane direction:

I kind of wish there were doors. It'd be token since the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling, but that extra feeling of security goes a long way, especially when most of these people are refugees.
That said, this is a HUGE step up from shelters.
@alexblock Yes I'm aware of curtains, but have you ever felt safe and secure behind a curtain?
I understand the need for not-full walls in this relatively temporary set up, but doors would have gone a really long way here for the people they're serving.
@alexblock @mayintoronto @broadwaybabyto
It's a deliberate planning choice to curtail illegal on-site activity.
@AwattoAnalog A bad decision then. People in need of support deserves real privacy and safety. Not curtains.
It's more likely an insurance/fire safety issue.
