SFPD has kenneled several dozen seemingly young kids & skaters at Dolores Park after an hours-long slow-moving chase to shut down the annual “hill bomb”
Cops have trapped the group between rows of officers
The group is being forced to sit, it is unclear if they are under arrest
SFPD was earlier in the evening moving from corner to corner, clearing intersections
Skaters moved from block to block evading the police, tagging up some Muni cars & buildings
The crowd eventually dwindled, the kids who are remaining were caught between two groups of police

This persistent strain of bad faith engagement with supply side arguments is baffling, as if every academic paper published in the past decades showing importance of more housing is just the rich hoping for a come up.
More market-rate supply isn't enough—it likely won't bring down rents for poor even if median rents drop; the Urban Displacement Project pointed this out a while ago (though counterfactual is what rents for poor would've been in absence of such housing). urbandisplacement.org/research

If you see ICE carrying out a raid, film them. If they ask to be let into your building, don't let them in. If they talk to you, don't answer them.
ICE is the fascist, door-to-door roundup people imagine in their dystopias—oppose them however you can.

ICE warrants are not real warrants. They are not reviewed by a judge & you do not need to open your door if presented with one.
If you live or work w/undocumented people, or know others who do, print out "know your rights" cards & distribute them widely. ilrc.org/red-cards
