Dehumanization lets us treat others as less than human - this prejudice about unhoused folks is part of the systemic violence harming already vulnerable populations.

Gross, editorial moralizing from the local media & elected officials is irresponsible.🧵

newsminer.com/opinion/letter… Above the fold, on the front page of the @newsminer’s 6/5 Sunday paper, an article ran with the title “Golden Heart Plaza safety concerns continue.” The article’s spotlight on safety begs a question: Concern for whom?

Disgusting. This City will do ANYTHING other than face itself. The “aggressive elements that loiter” are our unhoused neighbors, living in real crisis. Installing surveillance will not “resolve the situation.” Only treating people LIKE WHOLE HUMANS can.

newsminer.com/news/local_new… It’s ALL dog whistle, folks - it’s all politically correct euphemism for human suffering because that distances power from responsibility.
