When I spoke to unhoused people they told me their day to day lives were mostly terror Constant terror Fear of assault, rape, the police. Fear of losing what little they had left Were I in the same position I’d look for any way to dull it.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration

Senate Dems just announced a $40 million ground game investment across 10 battleground states. I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead of blowing it on expensive TV ads, they’re investing in field staff, new offices, volunteer programs, and outreach to Latino, Black, and Alaska Native voters. 1/2
