The amount of money cities spend on anti homeless architecture is much, much more than it would cost to provide everyone with a house. They choose to punish the poorest people in our society not to save money but purely because they believe that homeless people deserve to suffer. https://t.co/SmtWdVwWZy

This infuriates my soul…can’t use the money to help the homeless so ya use it to build fucking SPIKES. Y’all really treat homeless people like dirt, yo. https://t.co/eESTRbA0So

Now Chrystul Kizer, who was 16 when she met Volar, is accused of murdering her alleged sex trafficker. She faces life in prison.

Her name is Chrystul Kizer & she was raped & trafficked by this man for years. She’s now facing life in prison for defending herself against her attacker.

This case needs national attention. Free Chrystul Kizer. https://t.co/0QubPAshqn

Police and prosecutors knew Randy Volar, a 34-year-old white man, was abusing underage black girls.

They arrested him — and released him on the same day.

Three months went by.

Then one of the girls, Chrystul Kizer, allegedly shot him in the head. https://t.co/ZDtKcYyqsa

Immigrants held in ICE jails received medical care so bad it resulted in 2 preventable surgeries, inc. an 8-yr-old who had to have part of his forehead removed, & contributed to 4 deaths, according to a complaint from a whistleblower.

It’s been seven years since the shooting at #SandyHook Elementary School, and Congress has done nothing to prevent another tragedy like this from happening.

Every 16 hours, a woman in America is shot and killed by a former or current partner.

Yet @senatemajld and @SenJoniErnst are REFUSING to reauthorize #VAWA to close the deadly "boyfriend loophole" that allows domestic abusers to access guns. This is a disgrace. #VAWA4ALL https://t.co/7YIdd4QBHX

In any other situation with lives on the line we act w/o hesitation. Why are we not waking up to the 384 mass shootings, and the 35K that have died in just 2019?

The U.S. policing culture of brutality & incarceration is a GENOCIDE. This is a human rights struggle.

Are the police using civilian cars as cover? With people still in them? And shooting at a hostage? Over some jewelry? In rush hour traffic?

None of the politicians who brand themselves “fiscally responsible” ever raise concern about rushing to shower ICE & CBP w/ $billions with 0 guardrails or oversight.

None of them ask about how we pay for corrupt contracts or mass incarceration.
