The idea of arresting San Francisco drug users to "force them into treatment" only makes sense if you willfully ignore the fact that there's a waiting list for people that voluntarily want to go into treatment.🤡
We have 💰 to pay cops overtime to arrest, but not Drs to treat, addiction.
My fellow cis Americans, I want you to look at this map. Really look at it. And I want you to imagine what it would feel like if those red states were threatening you and your family. Because, ultimately, they are.
This is what creeping fascism looks like. It will harm ALL OF US. And it will take all of us, together, to fight it.
We don't sacrifice people. We stand with our trans siblings. When their rights are threatened, all our rights are threatened.

The top 1% has taken $50 TRILLION from the bottom 90% since 1975.
That's enough to more than double the median income—enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month. Every month. Every single year.

Highly recommend this to anyone with a confusing parent. I think I am the last one to read it though!

I just want to point out that today is Purim, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the moral and spiritual obligation to fight back against people, societies, and systems that are trying to kill you and eradicate your people.
It specifically and explicitly calls upon people to fight back in self-defense.
"to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, and to slay, and to cause to perish, all the forces of the people and province that would assault them".
Purim sameach.
