“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ #Homeless Sweeps
—
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so they could explain what they lost in their own words.
This is a "notice to remove 'personal property ' from public spaces because homeless people do not have US Constitutional rights in AmeriKKKa.
They've been coming for the homeless for decades but your silent because your not homeless.
They've been coming for non-white people for decades but your white so you barely make a whisper.
They've been coming for gay people for decades but your not gay so you barely make a whisper.
Soon, there will be no one left to stand up for you...
WAKE THE FUCK UP before your on the list.
The USA is a terrorist country ran by rich people. Are you rich enough?
