A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about California Governor Gavin Newsom taking advantage of a morally unconscionable ruling by a 6-3 fascist high U.S. Supreme Court that criminalizes unhoused people, to push his own executive order authorizing the removal of homeless encampments and incentivizing municipalities in the state to do the same; you can find a link to that blog in the comments below.
Fresh on the heels of that order, and fueled by NIMBY rage, San Francisco Mayor London Breed gleefully sprang into action and ordered local police to begin aggressive sweeps of unhoused people in her jurisdiction. This move was celebrated by "concerned citizens" and Very Serious PeopleTM in both local media and the city's business community. As it turns out however, actually having to watch murderpigs carry out the brutal and inhumane targeting of unhoused people in their own neighborhoods is causing many supporters of the sweep strategy to have second thoughts.

San Franciscans awaken to the cruelty — and futility — of homeless sweeps
"Last week, however, as the public witnessed the rollout of Breed and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new policies to push those experiencing homelessness out of view, many didn’t like what they saw.
“Inhumane” was the word used by one small-business owner, Adam Mesnick, who has been a vocal advocate of sweeps, describing one scene captured on video by the San Francisco Standard. The clip shows a man having his tent pulled from his hands while a police officer tells him that the mayor and governor said homeless encampments are “no more.” The man, visibly in distress, seems to be trying to retrieve belongings that had been thrown like trash into the back of a Department of Public Works truck. Another story, in the San Francisco Chronicle, depicts a man placed in handcuffs while his belongings, including tent, blankets and clothing, are tossed in the back of a truck."
I said it then, and I'll say it again now; despite all the dehumanizing rhetoric and false promises, unhoused people are first and foremost people and targeting them with police violence while stripping away their belongings does absolutely nothing to solve a crisis caused by a lack of affordable housing in our communities. Treating marginalized people, and there are few people more marginalized than the unhoused, like rubbish to be "swept" off our streets is at its very root, a fascist solution to a problem that is created by capitalist speculation on something that shouldn't be a commodity in the first place; the human right to have someplace to simply exist. This isn't news to monsters like Newsom and Breed, but apparently it was to the fine people of San Francisco - and now that they've seen that "solution" in action, they don't like what enacting it forces them to condone.

Alabama AG Says He Can Prosecute People Who Assist Out-Of-State Abortions.
They are going after all women, no woman who isn't kneeling to obey the GOP, in every state is at risk.
Its not about fetuses, its about sicking police on women, like Nixon sicked police on pot smokers.

Photographed this young, blond Charolais heifer awhile ago & textured the background to compliment her beautiful hide. The close-up shows off the colors & markings of this handsome breed. And before we left, she came to the fence & whispered “Yes, blonds DO have more fun. :)
