       It is profoundly evil to criminalize homelessness, doubly so when providing no shelters, as in the case that was before the Supreme Court. There is no coherent moral or legal argument to be made in support of this.

       I’m reminded of Trump last night, lamenting the plight of unhoused vets. 100% of people who ask “how can we provide for immigrants when there are Americans living on the streets?” dgaf about Americans living on the streets.

       @waldoj well, actually housing homeless vets is hard and takes effort.Way easier to use them as a cudgel against other groups.

       @ThatPrilla @waldoj housing homeless vets would be easier, and cheaper, than what they're doing.  It would just be less politically advantageous
