THREAD: One enduring truth you don't hear police mention when they talk about "crime waves" is this: violence is higher in countries that are more unequal, and violence is higher in U.S. states that are more unequal. Structural inequality kills. Let's look at the data:

Tonight I want to remember the ghosts of Attica. I'd channel something else that happened #OtD ... in 1917, when police in Milwaukee seized a bomb made by immigrant anarchists. It promptly blew up in the police station.

He pointed out gangs could be a force for good and that violence is a material reality that won’t stop until there’s a program in place that would make redirecting that violence organized and viable. Of course they killed him.

Community defense is their origin. Like all institutions, they were infiltrated and co-opted.

This is back in committee tomorrow! 10am
A motion at tomorrow's Homelessness + Poverty Meeting introduced by Buscaino & Lee would amend 41.18 to prohibit sitting, sleeping, and lying down if an offer of shelter has been made - never mind that LA has shelter for only 39% of the unhoused. Call in! bit.ly/lacchp

9.2. An unconstitutional motion seeking to implement barriers to housing for currently unhoused people. Dr. Watkins wants to ban housing for unhoused people who have been here 1) less than 30 days, 2) have "mental problems" and 3) "drug problems"

That is normal every day for me and others! I here it all! People put there mask on and walk in the bike lane when they walk past me! They throw eggs out there cars at me! I cry sometimes and it makes me feel gross! I do not want to be homeless! Never did..

In an alternate universe, you date for a long while, get hitched, have babies, and squat a larger storage unit.
one time when I was homeless a few years ago I was staying in a storage shed on the edge of campus and this girl working for campus rec found me sleeping in there. first thing out of my mouth was “hey I think we matched on bumble 2 days ago.” she called the cops and unmatched me

💪🪓 Gerard Lee Conte on tiktok estimates there’s 33M VACANT & SECOND HOMES. 33 per homeless person in 🇺🇸 I have contemplated a squat using an Airbnb reservation as your “in”. Since they reward keeping second homes off the local market to one’s long-term, low-income neighbors

Well, this is like, very disconnected. I'm a fan of surreal shit, but this nonsense is far too common among disconnected colonizers.
And do what? Where do we go? I'm sorry, this country is my home. We both have a legitimate claim to the land. We should give them more resources and control than they currently have, but believing in completely decolonizing the US is childish

I am baffled as to why this doesn't have more numbers.

A few weeks ago I saw a report of almost 40 ships floating off the coast. Is this some of those?!
