@TucsonSentinel you know what’s even worse than this? The guy at the detention center down in Georgia that was stealing peoples uteruses got away with it.

Congress did an investigation and the pigs decided that it was fine that this man mutilated women and took away their fertility.

But oh well I guess, women don’t matter in Amerikkka anymore. Not unless we’re breeding some human capital stock for the Tyson Chicken factory.

Last Sunday August 25, 2024, the police in Kailua-Kona, #Hawaii, stole my sleeping bag.

I have been unhoused for a year now. I was sitting on the Kailua-Kona pier with other homeless people, when FIVE cops appeared; said they were investigating a stolen chair ( how much does a chair cost? $100? ). Since my sleeping bag was sitting on top of a chair, they just took it, despite all my protests that I was homeless & needed it to sleep. Daylight robbery!

@ashwin @TucsonSentinel I am so sorry this is awful, are you allowed to go get it after they investigate it?

@maggiejk @TucsonSentinel

I doubt it. This is part of much bigger pattern of cover-up.

Incidentally, I am whistle blower against Accenture Federal Services and the VA.

Unhoused for a year now, and hounded.

Quite an interesting trip down the rabbit hole. One day, I will re-emerge to tell the whole story.

My sense of sanity is stretched a bit, and the whole thing sounds like a conspiracy to the reader. Still, no intention to surrender. Gonna die trying! :solidarity:

@TucsonSentinel

CPB are mostly fascists. Remember 2017? No sooner had their boy Trump taken the oath of office when they started harassing visitors arriving at US airports. It should be disbanded and reconstituted from scratch.

@TucsonSentinel Now get someone to acknowledge that Border Patrol sees its sole job as keeping migrants from arriving and won't even start to think about doing what the civil authority tells it.

@graydon @TucsonSentinel Anyone who works foe Border Patrol has simply got to be a complete and utter asshole at heart.

@TucsonSentinel

human rights groups and the UN refer to the EU's and USA's immigrant policies as 'migracide.'

@TucsonSentinel

it's also worth noting that homeless people are treated the same by local governments.

@TucsonSentinel They’ll continue to do it. That’s what they like best about their jobs: Hurting people who are defenseless against their abuses.

@TucsonSentinel
Surprise!
Guards can be abusive thieves!
They love their work...
"wa-ch' "ya gonna do 'bout it!"
