He's still a limp dick. He's only doing this to beat the drum for the
black whore.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, buoyed by a recent US Supreme Court
decision, issued an executive order Thursday calling on state officials to
begin taking down homeless encampments.

The move to begin dismantling thousands of encampments throughout
California comes after the high court ruled last month in favor of an
Oregon city that ticketed homeless people for sleeping outside. The ruling
rejected arguments that such �anti-camping� ordinances violated the
Constitution�s ban on �cruel and unusual� punishment.

�This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address
dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals
living in them � and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the
same,� Newson said in a statement. �There are simply no more excuses. It�s
time for everyone to do their part.�

The order calls on state officials �to adopt humane and dignified policies
to urgently address encampments on state property.�

California has the largest homeless population � more than 180,000 people
� in the nation, according to a 2023 homelessness assessment report to
Congress from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

An estimated 653,100 people were experiencing homelessness nationwide � a
jump of around 12% since 2022, according to the report.

California�s policies following the Supreme Court decision are being
closely watched by other cities and states, and Newsom�s order has drawn
the ire of some homeless advocates and elected officials.

�Newsom could have issued this order before the (Supreme Court) decision.
The only difference now is that states and localities are free to confine
and arrest people even when there is no shelter available,� said Chris
Herring, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of
California Los Angeles.

�So before the Supreme Court ruling cities were in the position where they
would have to provide shelter offers before removing encampments. Now �
they will be able to carry out these encampment sweeps with the very real
threat of issuing people incredibly expensive fines of which people cannot
pay and often results in a warrant or an arrest or can result in
incarceration.�

Herring said the timing of the order wasn�t surprising as Newsom seeks to
�politically clear his name of the homeless crisis, especially as he�s in
the national spotlight right now amid the presidential election.�

Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the parent
organization of the Housing is a Human Right initiative, accused Newsom of
�criminalizing poverty� and �doubling down on failed policies.�

�Governor Newsom, where do you expect people to go? This is a shameful
moment in California history,� Weinstein said in a statement Thursday.
