I’m here at the Fish Hatchery encampment in St. Paul as the city prepares to sweep the camp. St. Paul cops are stopping cars coming in but there are dozens of people that have gathered here in anticipation of the sweep in order to help camp residents and document what the city does here today.

> Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed; he was arrested on possession charges.

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

Poverty, homelessness, drugs are all complicated issues with no easy solutions. But destroying encampments is inhumane & solves nothing. Listening House is an amazing resource for unhoused neighbors. If you want to be part of a solution, consider volunteering/donating. www.listeninghouse.org

This is rough but I think it talks about a lot of what is missing from the Cunningham/WNBA discourse. Namely, that trans people are not hypothetical thought experiments. They are real people who are being genocided by our government & any coverage that doesn't center that reality misses the mark.
