Nobody Had Any Idea
“They had no idea,” Percy realized. And so he resolved to remedy this. Percy Perceival Pierce lived in a time of miraculous inventions. There were computers to help design these inventions and robots to help build them. “Help” here is used the same sense that Thomas Jefferson “helped” tend his crops and build his home. Realizing their ignorance, and how undesirable this was, Percy had three…

To put it bluntly, the only way to end homelessness is to house people or kill them.
That's it. Those are your options. Homelessness doesn't go away based on "crime crackdowns." You will imprison the unhoused, and when they are free, they will be unhoused again. Or they will die in prison.
When you burn encampments or force people out without their stuff, they remain unhoused or freeze to death.
After working with the unhoused, it's become abundantly clear that those who don't want to support them instead want them dead.
There is blood on the hands of every government and organization that controls the homeless population with force instead of compassion.

If you are currently unaware of what's going on in Florida:
As recently as June 2025, the Trump administration began construction for a concentration camp dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" in the heart of the Florida Everglades. It is made up of tents and thousands of beds inside cages, under the sweltering Florida heat.
Tumblr media
The Trump administration have praised how isolated this environment is, claiming that the "dangerous wildlife" and "unforgiving terrain" will keep kidnapped people inside. According to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, if "people get out, there's not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons." They are thrilled about the abuse and potential death of real people.
The amount of pride they have for a literal concentration camp is sinister. Florida republicans are even selling merch and establishing mascots.
Tumblr media
They started detaining people last week, and they are treating them like “rats in an experiment.”
There are protests happening in and around the area. If you can, I would encourage you to show up for your community at one of these protests in South Florida. With that being said, the concentration camp is located adjacent to sacred Miccosukee and Seminole land. Please be mindful of the space.
