I am in awe of how quickly masked federal agents snatching people off the streets and the military being sent into urban areas has been nornalized in this country.
Ex-evangelical. I fix computers at a kindergarten level etc. That's about it.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

It can't be emphasized enough: the tents Trump wants to sweep are only the most visible sign of an exponentially larger, hidden disaster. A vast world of homelessness exists out of sight. Ignore the causes, try to arrest your way out, and the pressure will build until it bursts back into view.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.
