California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that makes it easier for authorities to compel treatment for people with mental illness or addiction issues

Translation: law passed making it easier for cops to strip homeless people of their rights

Jesus fucking Christ I am so fucking angry

    I know it’s depressing and fucked up that it takes something bad happening to a celebrity for anyone to give a shit about an issue, but you’d think the exploitation and abuse Britney Spears dealt with under conservatorship would have caused some pushback on this but I guess not.

      I was thinking this morning how Britney's conservatorship could probably be a really good teaching metaphor for the workers' relation to capital and how they steal our surplus value and control our lives while giving the illusion of freedom.
