Any mass movement that has a point of view that runs contrary to the desires of the capital class is a threat to their control. I mean that seems self evident.

He asked what would happen in the city if the ordinances were to remain blocked.
“The city’s hands will be tied. It will be forced to surrender its public spaces, as it [already] has been,” Evangelis said.
This is the crux of it. The city does not consider the homeless to be the "public". Can't be homeless and a citizen at the same time apparently.
To make this clear, this is a about the government further destroying the entire concept of "public spaces". Dividing further who counts as "the public".
Given the opposite land Putin lives in, me new expectation: Russia launches AA against NATO F-16s and uses this statement as proof it must have been Ukraine who did it.
Something I hear commonly when talking to people, is the dreaded phrase “I’m non-political”. Usually said to mean that they either don’t know, care, or understand politics.

But it is important to note, that this is just the stuff said in the public sphere. The claim that Trump is racist has more to do with his direct policies, and the policies of Republicans over all, and his associations.
Anti-Muslim immigration Bans
Razor Wire in the Rio Grande
"The Wall"
Child Separation at the borders, with no tracking and no concern for the children
Anti-BLM statements and actions during the protests, for instance the gassing of the church in DC for a photo-op BEFORE the curfew and with no warning
Giving cover to neo-nazis i.e. "Fine people on both sides"
Meeting with actual "white nationalists" i.e. Nick Fuentes
This is more or less of the top of my head. I am SURE there is more that I can't remember from the last 6 years.
Umm. I know the point you are trying to make, but making a factual error as part of your argument really undermines the statement. The US senate is currently controlled by Democrats. It's a slim majority, but it is a Dem majority.
The HOUSE is controlled by Republicans. Which means the American Bicameral CONGRESS is split between the Democratic senate and Republican House. It doesn't change your point, and I am not trying to be pedantic, it just makes you sound ill informed and undermines your point.
I don't disagree that violence isn't the correct answer in this situation, but "Violence never solves anything" is just a nice platitude and is demonstrably false. Most of the rights and privileges we have today only came about through violent means. It is more accurate to say violence doesn't solve everything.
Or to put it another way:
The Magna Carta was a peace treaty.
The ideas of a democratic republic were born of the French and American Revolutions
MLK was the peaceful side of a civil rights movement that would not have had the same power without Malcom X and the black panthers.
Overtime, the 5 day work week, unions and most labor protections came at the expense of a LOT of blood in the United States.
Women's Suffrage was not a peaceful movement either.
In the history of most countries, mass violent protest has been the protest most likely to achieve its goals. Saying "Violence never solves anything" is to turn a blind eye to history.
That is not what the court ruled. In 2022 the (Wisconsin Supreme) court ruled that the practice of unstaffed ballot drop boxes cannot be used and are inconsistent with Wisconsin law as currently written. Your statement implies some sort of impropriety that effected the 2020 election results. The same court system you are citing, has ruled on 60 occasions that the election was valid.
What a weird way to phrase it. I mean wouldn't a headline like "Peacock raises prices after less than 3 years" be more accurate? I know inflation has been off the charts but, there is no way subscription services raising prices every couple of years is going to be sustainable. (It already isn't)
