they’re using earthmovers to clean the dc tent encampments. this was taken at foggy bottom by WJLA
A note for Chicago Progressives and "socialists:" It's not more acceptable when you do it.
The head of Chicago Parks @carlosrosa.bsky.social has signed off on using these same tactics against the unhoused in Chicago and plans on clearing an encampment at Legion Park on September 9th.

When the city of Chicago fails to provide emergency warming options for folks when it's dangerously cold, get some friends, a large basement with cots and make your own options.
Bonus points if you learn some new card games.

Note that Alder Nugent who is one of the most vocal complainers about the encampment is nowhere to be found on building a solution.
The city plans to continue to sweep northwest side encampments, but there's no emergency shelter in that area for single unhoused Chicagoans to go to. A tentative city-state partnership is looking to change that. I wrote about it for week's Make it Make Sense:

“Cruz, Dillion, and LaPointe all mentioned that it takes a single adult without children an average of 19 days to get into a city shelter.”

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

So, the Palestinians shot and the bus blown up weren't a test of the ceasefire but this is?
UPDATE: Israel is striking all over Gaza, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire.
Hamas says they didn’t, and it was settlers running over an explosive device.
Bottom line: people are still dying, including children.

Recently, I learned about a human species that may have gone extinct because they kept eating each other. They didn't need to, it was just a weird choice they made and led to their downfall.
