I live in LA County and was discussing this with someone recently. They asked what happens to unhoused people who are “swept away.” My answer was that they die. Unhoused people are ki!!ed by government “clean up” projects. On average, 7 unhoused people die every day here…
Here's another piece about how Portland's methods, ie sweeps without bountiful supportive housing and services for people to be "swept" into, do not work, and kill people www.propublica.org/article/port...
Portland Said It Was Investing in Homeless People’s Safety. Deaths Have Quadrupled.
The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.

Whoever’s idea it was/is to have instrumental jazz music be played at the airport is a kind soul. sometimes it doesn’t need to be the kind of music that has to be all hyped up, it can be tender and slow, evoke an emotion, can also help you calm yourself when necessary. jazz is under-appreciated.

Sweeps are violence and it really is that simple. If you live in Portland and have a heart in your body please take the time to testify in person/zoom tomorrow or in writing and ask our city council to reroute money away from sweeps, which do not reduce homelessness. www.portland.gov/council-cler...

Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo are still and have been airing anti-immigrant ads that are paid for by 🧊
these are networks viewed and consumed by millions of Latine families and communities and households. it is extremely dangerous and they are actively trying to encourage fear.

I just watched the trailer for HBO’s “I Love LA”, and I’m amazed at how audaciously false this represents my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. If you’re gonna do a TV series about LA, do right by its populations the city embodies. that means queer folks, Black & Brown people, undocumented immigrants etc.

today is Veterans’ Day. I am taking a moment to remember all the Black veterans, women veterans, queer & trans veterans, veterans of color, AAPI veterans, and every veteran, present and past, that has served for a country that chooses to not love them back.
