It almost seems like there’s some reason good policies don’t last…🧐

We could build homes for people, or, we could build places to store people that require armed guards, watch towers, food service, medical service, laundry service, education, and cleaning service.

I’m all for just building an apartment.

Hmm, curious.
Perhaps making things less immediately hostile the poorer people means they can lead better lived?
Hmm, very curious indeed.

Repugs do not care one bit about you.

Democrats also hold a tremendous amount of responsibility for this crisis. Framing this as partisan is very unhelpful.

just the phrase "prison industry" tells you what a bad idea privatization of government functions is.

Guess what's happening now that they got out from under the consent decree

ugh I can only imagine 💔 I read some of the dissolution document and it is such a shame. the decree was basically as strong as Boise/Grants Pass, which is to say not very strong, but sounds like it was adhered to better than most cities ever did those rulings.

More proof that people in positions of authority aren't good people until they're literally forced to be.

mamatried.bsky.social•59 days ago

you don’t get on a consent decree for good behavior, it means you were doing really bad stuff. and in this case the consequence was very appropriate and very effective and seems like something we should talk about more

What the federal gov can do this??

lordoflemmings.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yeah, at least until the SCrOTUS finds a fundamental constitutional right to abuse and mistreat the homeless.

the what? i'm not familiar with that term

lonsuder.bsky.social•59 days ago

wow, consent decrees work sometimes? i'm only familiar with the agreement for seattle to make sure that their police are just a normal amount of violent.

How I love a good consent decree.
