OCCUPATION ALERT!!! WE ARE RECLAIMING SF!!! FOLLOW @reclaim_sf NOW!
In the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, we — two unhoused women — have taken over a vacant home in SF so we can shelter-in-place safely! Homeless lives matter! #ReclaimSF

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he placed 4200 homeless ppl into hotels today.
There are 150,000 homeless Californians.
There are 1 million vacant units & hundreds of thousands of hotel rooms he can commandeer.
Don't clap your hands for this - This ain't it.

Damn. This got me.
An unhoused woman said that when she got to sleep in a hotel room, "I cried. I haven't been in a bed since 2014."

"Everyone wears protective face coverings – there’s no shortage of those among the antifa movement..."

FEMA sent San Francisco 91 trailers.
They're sitting completely empty.
They won't give us hotels. They won't give us RVs. This is criminal.

Meanwhile, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has decided not to grant early release to any inmates to allow for social distancing within the state's 14 prisons. It's a decision the governors of both Washington and California have already made. columbian.com/news/2020/apr/…

Thank you to the healthcare workers on the frontlines. Who are also people experiencing homelessness.

Indigenous people aren't going to rest until we #TearDownTheWall. We must #AbolishBorders as they aren't real. America is built on #StolenLand.
Another great piece by @garciaink:

It's very telling that people are so surprised by economic stats like "3 out of 4 individuals make less than $75k/year."
This country is set up to discourage class consciousness/solidarity, and one of the key ways it works is misinformation about how much money we all make.

When we say decarceration is key to flattening the curve, we mean decarceration for everyone, including those held for violent offenses.

Incredible “let them eat cake” energy here, excellent work
We all have found our ways to keep our spirits up during these trying times. Mine just happens to fill up my freezer. #LateLateShow

Look, let's be real. The ultimate reason the economy "must" "reopen" is so that we everyone can once more be individually blamed for their own unemployment, desperation, etc in this coming depression. It is fundamentally dangerous to our system to have masses of people 1/2

Just got off phone w/ inmate at Columbia River Correction Institute. He said at least 40 men in his unit were crowded around the TV listening quietly to @OregonGovBrown's press conference this morning.
