It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Doing stuff like this underhanded move of deferral and then reintroduced as an emergency ruins relationships with the community. You want us to trust you?
It passed unanimously. CM Bingle is planning to hold a presser on Nov 3 to check in on whether or not enforcement is happening, I.e. are the cops actually arresting people?
This is essentially the entire city council getting together to pass Prop 1 but even stricter because it applies to the whole city.
Somehow, this is being painted a victory for collaboration when really it’s just the progressives giving the conservatives exactly what they asked for but harsher?

CIVICS: Even stricter restrictions could be coming to punish visible homelessness. Plus, the airport isn’t budgeting for PFAS clean-up and Spokane City Council could make it easier to fire their own staff. All the deets + more on municipal meetings:

You know who cops often mistake as homeless? People with DISABILITIES. This is just a modern continuation of Ugly Laws.

They have already decimated federal agencies, fired thousands of federal workers, and stripped health care from 15 million people.
