The truth is even more nefarious. BOTH parties are at war with the homeless.
Which right wingers run Portland, Boston, and LA? They’re arresting homeless people in Portland, Boston, and LA too you know?

That is just a lie. I am a socialist.
I’m also a realist. I don’t expect to get my pony.

The Cicero Institute also advocates legislation allowing new private prisons to enter the market and empowering governors to circumvent elected attorneys general by appointing “special prosecutors” to combat “public lawlessness.”

That’s it - nothing more. It’s not even an attempt at anything like an actual solution to the growing problem of homelessness - it’s only and entirely that wealthy psychopaths like Lonsdale see homeless people as a resource that’s not currently being exploited and that they want to exploit. Entirely in order to further their own wealth and privilege, they want to imprison these human beings and make them into slaves.
The Cicero Institute: created by the ghoul who also started Palantir.
