#MEpolitics: The Trump regime is shifting homelessness prevention and intervention funding away from programs that provide stable, long-term housing, prioritising funding for states that comply with federal law enforcement (i.e. DHS/ICE raids), and incentivising anti-camp and anti-unhoused policies.

Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

THIS is what power looks like. Starbucks baristas are standing tall, with their shoulders back and their heads high, and they’re showing the world what it looks like to demand a fair contract.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
