I talk about this all the time. Folks really believe there’s a social safety net in place for homelessness. Last week I called every shelter in the city for a bed for a dv victim running from her abuser. There were none. There are almost always none.

This is part of the reason the optics of homelessness enrage those who carry internal shame about poverty. They assume help is there and folks aren’t using it. I’m here to tell you that help is not there, at least not reliably or to the scale that we need.

@Women4UBI Folks don’t know what services are not available until they try to navigate these systems themselves. By then, it’s too late because they’re already stigmatized with whatever label society has applied to their situation (“homeless”, “disabled”, etc) No one believes them.

As a formerly unhoused person one thing I learned is that people do not recognize your humanity when you don’t have a house—and that’s a really isolating experience. If elected to county council I will continue my work with the unhoused to make sure everyone knows they matter.

Thanks to city council members Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7 and Anthony Coghill for starting the conversation around absolutely necessary space and services for unhoused neighbors. Every day that we delay passing this, we are risking lives and perpetuating suffering for the unhoused

Pittsburgh City Council to weigh creating city-sanctioned homeless camps. The new bill "would authorize tent sites that meet a list of requirements including heated restrooms and medical facilities." @kileykoscinski reports:

@e_galv This is why I retired at 35 and am 100% disabled for life, according to DoD. Military Sexual Trauma is rampant in the US. The US military and IOF are one and the same. I’ve had several comrades unalive themselves rather than talk about what they experienced, all of whom were men

Also try to remember some of your neighbors have PTSD and severe sound sensitivity. And fireworks traumatize a lot of neighborhood pets and wildlife. PSA from your local C-PTSD sufferer, who struggles through this country’s many celebrations of itself throughout the year

Unpopular opinion: everything about a drone show is better than a fireworks show. All the awesome, none of the dogs with PTSD

@AnEphemeralFool @lauralydel You should see the RAMPANT fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer funds throughout the US military. They’d rather incarcerate us than house us. They got money for war, but can’t feed the poor.

@KDKA We weren’t asking for an “esplanade”, we were asking for affordable housing, more shelters for the unhoused, public bathrooms and public transportation that actually gets us where we need to go.

Thanks for the fun questions, @PghLesbian24 ! I enjoyed discussing in depth how we as a county can better meet each others' needs.

Q&A with Sam Schmidt, Candidate for Allegheny County Council, District 13

These are uncertain and often stressful times, and people value honesty and integrity in their leaders above a story meant to idolize a few individuals and their antiquated values. This is especially...

White people - it’s your responsibility/duty to your community to confront racism and xenophobia in every space you’re in. To disrupt and dismantle the lack of education and propaganda behind it. Make racists afraid to spread their fearful rhetoric and hate. Make them unwelcome.

Just so we're all clear: Sen. Casey, Sen. Fetterman, Mayor Gainey, Controller Heisler, & the Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh all allied with the lawyers that tried to overturn the PA election results for Trump in 2020, in an attempt to overturn a voter referendum's ballot access

Did you know about 70% of Americans work jobs that the capitalist class considers “unskilled”? Imagine if we just… stopped 👀

Researchers gave homeless people $750 per month for a year, no questions asked. The recipients spent the money on food, housing, transportation, clothing, and health care. And after six months, only 12% of those who received funds were still homeless.
