Do. Not. Cave.

We will only get weaker. We are the strongest right now.

All those red districts in blue states, get ready to get screwed. Trump ain’t helping you.

Barbie never shot her dog Taffy when Taffy was naughty.

Complacency and maintaining the status quo leaves room for the authoritarians to ride in and promote change.

IMO, we should start by focusing the conversation on this issue so we can start to collect and socialize ideas.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if we needed some sort of way to rigorously audit and report about shelter conditions. That way we could at least have policies that don’t blindly assume every bed is equal or safe.

IMHO, there is a fair amount of misinformation floating around this issue.

Newsom hasn’t been pushing to blindly kick people off the street with no where to go. The draft ordinance is about filling unfilled shelter beds.

So if you had 200 beds and 1000 unhoused people, Newsom wants to be able to clear enough encampments to get 200 people into shelters. Cities wouldn’t clear all the encampments, only enough to get close to filling the available beds.

And that said, that policy doesn’t really account for the fact that shelters can be pretty dangerous and worse than the streets. So although this policy sounds compassionate, it’s actually quite flawed.

“Ashli posed no threat to the safety of anyone,” the lawsuit stated, and did not go to Washington “as part of a group or for any unlawful or nefarious purpose.”

She was part of a horde of people who broke into the capitol and started assaulting police officers and she was actively leading the charge through a barricade that was erected to protect people escaping the capital.

I don’t know how you watch those videos and think “yeah, she was innocent.”

Oh god. What happened today?

Does anyone have a source for the 72 hour thing?

I don’t see it in the draft ordinance. https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Encampment-Ordinance-formatted.pdf

The draft ordinance basically says that, if there are available beds, a city can clear a campsite if they give people 48 hours notice and direct people to the available shelter beds.

Although, this ordinance does not address the fact that many shelters cause more harm than good. People are on the street because it’s safer for their wellbeing and belongings. No one seems to be talking about this.

Has that been confirmed? Seems like this is still rumormill stuff.

Utensils should be a camping multitool hanging from a belt loop.

Or just doing something fun with her spouse.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was pro bono.

She charged Disney tens of millions for those marvel movies, but she only got like $35k for filming asteroid city in Spain, which was probably enough to cover a few months of international travel and lodging for a celeb. She likes Wes Anderson and was more interested in working with him than making money.

Brit? Like Britney?

Honestly, I feel like most companies didn’t do a big marketing thing about this stuff. If was commenting that pretty much just got promoted on the careers page so applicants knew about the company culture

Also, because HR usually owns the careers page, and DEI teams usually roll in HR

Fucking lol. 6 weeks ago the brand team just changed all the brand colors again. They went from purple back to black.

Somewhere in NY there is a sign company making a shitload of money swapping signs off the HBO building every few weeks.

Prices are inflating by 30%

Art of the deal.

Honestly, having politicians spend a week in the county’s worst rated shelter would probably be a great thing for voters to demand.
