The fact they're doing this METRES AWAY FROM THE LITERAL HOMELESS MEMORIAL is disgusting as shit.

In about 15 mins I have to dip briefly for a protest (there are 2 other LOs here rn), but the residents have approved the callout for more bodies on the ground for the pending clearing that the motherfuckers absolutely confirmed is happening.

Unfriendly reminder that at St Stephen's, the motherfuckers waited us out and didn't do THAT clearing until night.

Apparently, the City needs the park empty to "repair the grass and fix the paving stones".

Fuck everything.

And back in the city in time for... an encampment clearing.

Imagine making $107,000/year ripping down people's meagre shelters and stealing their few belongings. That's the lowest salary among these assholes.

Also, Kyle (in the blue, running away) would like it known that he is "uncomfortable" with people filming him as he lies to encampment residents about the likelihood of being housed, and threatening them.

And yeah, they have the public order unit chilling on standby.

in Wellington, New Zealand, the Downtown Community Ministry, which works with local homeless people, says the number of people rough sleeping in December 2024 was up by one-third compared to the year before. the criteria for getting emergency housing have been toughened so much that people “stopped asking”.

So, I've gotten to know some of the unhoused folks in #PortlandME. I listen to their stories when I'm protesting, and try to have a little something to hand out to them (money, warm gloves, healthy snack packs). It breaks my heart to see so many in need when there are empty spaces and even boarded up buildings downtown, and yet ritzy boutique shops everywhere! Someone can afford the high rents -- but it's not the people! I remember when one could rent an affordable studio apartment over a retail space. Not anymore! I couldn't afford to live there, and pretty much most of my friends have been pushed out because of gentrification. And now there is urban decay because of the empty spaces. Is it the 1980s again?!!

Here’s the article about that: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03... #HousingForAll Homeless people have nowhere to go. What do people expect them to do? Get on boats and sail to Indonesia for asylum? Housing? Help? Australia: this is appalling. 😡 #HomesNow The issue is systemic poverty creation. #auspol

Stay tuned for a tale of disenfranchisement.

As I just reminded the group:
The system isn't "broken". It was built this way.

We need to remember that when we "fail" to jump through "enough" of the needless hoops to accomplish what we are NOT MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH.

in fact, we are MEANT TO NOT ACCOMPLISH thise tasks.
It is arcane, cruel, and INTENTIONAL.

You didn't fail to achieve that thing.
They absolutely did not intend for you to achieve it.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Moreton Bay Council is now criminalising homelessness. Increasing rents and not enough income are not a fault of a person. Nobody chooses homelessness. They haven’t built enough affordable homes and now blame the victims. 😡 #HousingForAll #RaiseTheRate

Tiny tiny homes guy was on Metro Morning. I listened happily until he said "We vet people carefully - *we want to help people who want to help themselves*, get their lives together." So that means he wants to leave 'unworthy' unhoused people out in the cold? 🥶
