This is chilling. @realDonaldTrump wants to "crackdown" on homelessness and put people into "government facilities." We've buried refugee children held hostage in his damn facilities. What inhumane treatment will he sanction for the unhoused? wapo.st/2m7Y7pH
And @realDonaldTrump 's freaking administration is actually CAUSING homelessness, throwing immigrant families out of housing, cutting health care, contributing to worsening income inequality.
Over the weekend, an angry woman actually asked me why we weren't putting unhoused people into internment camps. "We did it for 120,000 Japanese. Why can't we do it now?" Sounds like @realDonaldTrump wants to grant her disgusting wish.
This is the inevitable result of the fear and hysteria stoked by Fox News and right wing radio. Demonize the "other." Associate them with crime and disease. And then lock them up.
First they came for the immigrants. Then they came for the homeless. Are you next?
Trump. The right-wing fear & paranoia machine. Social media posts threatening violence. Hate crimes, like the attempt to burn down a homeless encampment. Efforts to outlaw homelessness. It's all connected, like the ever worsening feedback loops we're seeing w the climate crisis.
