The evidence is clear: fines/jail for homelessness cost more than housing/services. We must stop spending $ to make homelessness worse @scottwiener.bsky.social @senatorcabaldon.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social vote #YESonSB634 @michellepariset.bsky.social @naehomelessness.bsky.social
“They wasted a lot of time and money pursuing this case...That’s probably hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars wasted. And that money would be better spent by simply offering Mr. Two Hands housing without arresting him,” says Ron Hochbaum in @calmatters.org. 🔗bit.ly/4cIrMLt
What happens after a homeless person is arrested for camping? Often, not much
Wickey Two Hands was supposed to be tried for camping in Fresno. But after civic resources poured into his case, it was dismissed.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.

46 Democrats in the House voted for this shit. A person can be detained and deported without due process for being accused of shoplifting. Shame should follow them for the rest of their very short political careers
