![But what’s unique about the Fremont law, and what legal advocates and unhoused folks are worried about, is the addition of language that makes “permitting, aiding, or abetting” any encampments within city limits illegal.
“This is the first [law] of this type using the aiding and abetting language we’ve seen,” said Jesse Rabinowitz, communications director for the NHLC.
“People are stepping up to fill a void that the government has created, and now the government is going to punish them for it.”
The “aiding and abetting” wording feels vague, maybe intentionally so, as if meant to be a catch-all to give police more leeway when they’re clearing encampments. Will housed people in Fremont be allowed to let others camp on their property? Can activists help unhoused neighbors save their valuables before they get thrown into trash compactors? Is handing out food or water to encampments considered “aiding”? Is this a further extension of the border law that makes leaving out water and food for migrants crossing the Sonoran desert a felony?
“To me, it’s actually a direct attack on mutual aid,” said Gray-Garcia.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4d7w4ylnasmg7oayamznsznp/bafkreihslamaeepjakxxeqbfglncyb6wp644l7bmke7geetptncwyjjfo4@jpeg)

For those who sneer at this:
It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed.
What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs.
Because they hire women & POC.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

He literally knows nothing about geography. This is going to do nothing but flood some people's farms. He's a fucking idiot.
Context for those (like DJT) who don't know geog:
This is like saying you opened a levee on the Mississippi and water "poured down" into AZ or NV
There are MOUNTAINS IN THE WAY. The water doesn't "flow down" from Miss to AZ, or Canada/PNW/Central Valley to LA.
He is thinking of "up" on a map.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "The water comes down from the northwest parts of Canada, I guess, but the Pacific Northwest. And it comes down by millions and millions of barrels a day and uh, I opened it up. It wasn't that easy to do. But I opened it up and it's pouring down."
