California’s unhoused people protest US supreme court order: ‘Not going to push us out of view’
This occupation is a last-ditch effort to claim safe public space, following the US supreme court’s overturning of Johnson v Grants Pass, which re-legalized criminal penalties against residents who violate cities’ anti-camping ordinances, even when no alternative shelter is available.

As people lose their overtime pay, insurance coverage, social security and disability, you can expect to see a significant rise in the ranks of the homeless. Watch for the administration to use lack of means as a reason to detain, displace or deport people. Refugee camps around the corner?
@Sr0bi @nursefrombirth Or push to forced labor camps to replace the deported workers
I'm sure that they are planning plenty of evil. Don't realize yet what they've done.
@TheresaVermont A very sad situation.
@nursefrombirth The idea that hungry and unhoused people are just going to wander until they die, without objection, is ludicrous. It will only get worse with advancing climate change. Wait until everyone is migrating to water.
