New #WhiteHouse edict targets jurisdictions that are perceived to not be removiving "Endemic #vagrancy" and "drug users" with punitive measures. Specifically mentioned are threats to cut federal funding to cities that do not stop allowing so-called “harm reduction” or “safe consumption” sites for addictive drug users.
1/3rd of all "counted' #homeless people in #USA are tabulated as being in #California, which ranks amongst highest cost of living places in the #UnitedStates. Gov #Newsom issued new policies to remove homeless #encampments and #DJT in #DC has nearly a year to the day, now made similar #ExecutiveOrder against #indigent squalor as new #NationalPolicy called “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets”

This is BRILLIANT. 🤩
“The problem … around the globe … isn’t that there are not enough drugs, but not enough medics to administer them

If they don’t mind (big if I know) radical mixes of anarchism and Catholicism (!?) the #Tacoma #CatholicWorker on the Hilltop is niceI lived there for 10 years from 1991 to 2002 and we did lots of work welcoming homeless people into our house, Latin American solidarity, community gardening, supporting the local #NeedleExchange, AIDS hospice, LGBTQ, and labour and human-rights organizing
They’re friendly and not pushy (I’m a casual atheist)
