Episode notes
Harmful Executive Order on Homelessness
- The executive order targets homeless, mentally ill, drug users, and sex workers through criminalization and forced institutionalization.
- It views homelessness as a problem of people, not the lack of housing, worsening stigma and state violence.
Framing Homelessness as Crime
- Trump's executive order conflates homelessness with crime and disorder, further stigmatizing unhoused people.
- It does not address homelessness directly, highlighting the administration's hostile approach.
Gaza Famine as Deliberate Policy
- Israel's siege and blockade of Gaza cause deliberate famine, with growing starvation deaths.
- Allowing aid in at sufficient levels would stop deaths and market for aid diversion; blocking it is intentional harm.
