  • This is pretty close to one of Denver’s larger intersections, a cross between two major east - west and north - south routes. It’s had cycling groups of migrants for 6ish months but as far as I can tell it hasn’t been a static group. They mainly offer to wash windshields for cash but otherwise are no burden whatsoever on the neighborhood. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty wealthy as it’s close to Denver’s museums and largest parks. This sign is literally in front of a sprouts farmers market.

    It’s unfortunate that we’re not doing more to get them more stable housing and employment but they in no way are causing problems. The only people upset about it are just upset about such a visceral confrontation of the inequality when they drive through these intersections. I’ve seen dudes in $100k Audis yelling at the dude just trying to get some money for food because he’s been legally barred from working for his first six months of being here.

    Denver has a decent mutual aid network that is doing a lot to help, if you’re interested check out https://www.denvermutualaid.com/












  • It’s hard not to sit in a blue state and just be apathetic to the shit in the south. They continually make their own living conditions worse and worse and I just don’t care anymore. Slide further into poverty, ruin your educational systems, willfully worsen the health of your population. Eventually blue states will stop sending you money and what are you going to do? You’ll have no people, no knowledge and no way out.

    I feel bad for those without the privilege to escape but am seriously out of fucks to give about them repeatedly self harming
