Now is the time for all people of conscience to speak out and act decisively to block the Trump administration plan to round up homeless people just like the Germans rounded up the Jews in World War Two. After complaining that homelessness is “disgusting” and reduces property values, Trump stated his intention to use police to raze tent cities and force homeless people into government facilities.
In December, Trump confirmed his plan by appointing Robert Marbut as head of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. Marbut is known as the “Joseph Mengele of the homeless” for his cruel experiments and philosophy that the solution to homelessness is punishment, not housing. After decades of failing to house its people, the government is moving to call working people no longer needed by the tech economy “Lebensunwertes Leben”—the Nazi term for “life unworthy of life”.
It is a shocking sign of the times that we have to restate this fundamental truth that no human being is unworthy of life. When we defend homeless people, we are defending life itself. Organize resistance in every community. Demand local declarations of sanctuary for the poor and homeless. Demand non-cooperation with federal anti-homeless arrests. — From the Editors

We all know this will lead to inhumane treatment. To boot, one of his cronies will be doing it for profit. Rounding up the homeless will not help them, nor society. I do not trust our government to do the right thing.
Help the homeless and poor. Don’t punish them! There are women children veterans….
Unspeakable. Inhuman.
Stop taking my US Constitution rights that I swore to defend, away.
Save and Help the Homeless!!!
Homelessness is not a crime. We need a housing first policy.
This country is going down, down. It is against the law, the Supreme Court ruled, to criminalize the homeless.
In The United States of Savages, you can be made homeless because of an unpaid medical bill. ONLY HERE!
Government shelter facilities: Lots of punishment of women in shelters just because they yell or scream, like forcing them outside the shelter until 11:30 pm even if it’s raining. Shelters are the pits because being homeless under globalization is the pits. Treatment of the homeless in inhumane. Demand government elected officials house the homeless whether we have income or not; whether we have legal immigration papers or not. In many cities and towns across America, you can register to vote either via General Delivery and/or post office. You need a residential address which you can write cross streets of where you’re at. US Supreme Court last year ruled homeless can’t be forced to vacate from their lodgings (tents, etc.) if nowhere to go.
Time to stop talking people, we either stand up now OR ALL OF US WILL BE ROUNDED UP NEXT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE NEED to WAKE EVERYONE UP NOW!!!!!
