2 in 3 Americans are “one paycheck away from homelessness”

And in Utah they’re building a concentration camp for unhoused people

Modeled after Alligator Auschwitz and serving as a test case for the criminalization and disappearance of poverty

Caused by the very same government that ended SNAP.

That’s actually just a Tesla security guard. You can see the sheriff in the next video in the thread

Austin local Stephanie Gómez explains why she helped organize the protest:

About 30 folks have gathered here outside the Gigafactory. Not all participated in the blockade.

Shareholders are set to vote on the largest pay package in history here just hours from now. Musk has threatened to quit if they don’t approve it.

An APD officer also showed up to the scene shortly after. Protesters chanted “Money for the needy, not for the greedy.”

#NoKings Austin marching from the Texas State Capitol to Auditorium Shores park, where local organizations have set up tables and stations to get folks further organized.

Austin #NoKings march to Auditorium Shores has started. Hundreds still at Capitol lawn finishing up speeches. Thousands here today.

Lots of Portland love

There’s actually far, far less law enforcement presence here than the first large No Kings protest at the State Capitol back in June.

The danger today seems to be extreme temps. It’s 91 is late October.
