Good evening, everyone. Some of you may have read about how Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California has issued an executive order to clear out homeless encampments across the state.

This follows up on a previous Supreme Court decision that states that cities may fine or even imprison homeless people. This decision, which comes from a majority right wing, Republican Supreme Court was enacted by a Democratic governor first.
It is clear who the rulers will not hesitate to use their newfound political powers against.
Attacks on the most vulnerable in our society are bipartisan. This can’t be papered over. Just something to think about.
