  1. #MissKittyRaw I'm tired of praising the amazing fucking #courage of the poor. I'm poor. But of the fucking #homeless. The truly #destitute. A shelter is not a home. Going to a job you hate only to return to a place that's not home is fucking #slavery. This shit has to end. It's not civilization.

  2. A quotation from John Adams

    The poor man’s conscience is clear; yet he is ashamed. His character is irreproachable, yet he is neglected and despised. He feels himself out of the sight of others, groping in the dark. Mankind takes no notice of him: he rambles and wanders unheeded. In the midst of a crowd, at church, in the market, at a play, at an execution or coronation, he is in as much obscurity as he would be in a garret or a cellar. He is not disapproved, censured, or reproached: he is only not seen. This total inattention is to him, mortifying, painful and cruel. […] To be wholly overlooked, and to know it, are intolerable.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Essay (1790), “Discourses on Davila: A Series of Papers on Political History,” No. 5, Gazette of the United States

  5. The #Tories have created a new #poverty – one so deep and vicious it requires Victorian vocabulary

    #Destitute’ means a living standard so sparse, it should be consigned to history. It now applies to 4 million in the #UK

  10. I saw them yesterday clearing out the people from the encampment. They were pushing the old woman hanging onto her cart of belongings back out into the street. It was a neat, clean group of tenters. How cruel does this system need to get before we say enough, we deserve a new better one?
