social services must end. \u00a0 Santa Cruz cops and their Ranger friends do the same here towards our weekly Freedom Sleepers and the broader unhoused community with our “new” City Council silent as near-freezing temperatures and cold rains assault folks, stripped of their survival gear and forced to move from the shelter of the edges of buildings.<\/div>\n

I’m no fan of “Move On” e-mails generally, but First They Came for the Homeless (go to\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/firsttheycameforthehomeless\/<\/a>\u00a0) has asked that there be a flood of e-mails, and this is one way to do it. \u00a0Nor am I necessarily in agreement with every decision made by that group, but it’s clear that the regular and toxic attacks on the poor outside can only be stopped by community pressure. \u00a0 What I call “local Trumpism”–which has long been the policy both in Berkeley and Santa Cruz has to be fought with local pushback.<\/div>\n
