A New Mexico judge has lifted a temporary order that had stopped the city of Albuquerque from throwing away the possessions of homeless people without providing notice and an offer to store their belongings.
@IveyJanette@ProPublica After years of progressive council members, now we have reactionaries in Seattle government who jail people accused of substance abuse, sweep tents, dump belongings, set concrete barriers on streets and parks, making our city like a fortress for tourists to sail away on cruise ships instead. They profit from short term rentals when we need permanent community supportive housing. They build luxury homes. #Greed and #fear#cruelty
"One of the marks of fascism—real-deal, capital-F fascism—is the propensity to view the less fortunate not as fellow sufferers in the journey of life, but as Untermenschen. Vermin to be removed. Or, as Johnny McEntee might put it, cleansed.
This is what America is in the process of choosing. And we’re not being hoodwinked. None of this stuff is being hidden behind a façade of civility and normalcy. This cruelty is the selling point."
a REAL genocide is being perpetrated
and people are talking about radical student protests?
are we perhaps secretly reveling in this livestream of cruelty?
is this the actual hallmark of our so-called Western “higher culture”?
