    I need a source for this photo. This needs to be crossposted to /c/agitprop.

        Preferably both The location (though I'm guessing it's Texas), and also the person who put the caption on it or the source link if it's not original content. I wanted to credit them rather than just saying "I found this on chapo" or what have you.

        If no credit is needed and this is original content, don't worry about it.

    "Let's not politicize this" I tweet from an empty office building will fully functional utilities, to someone for daring to suggest the poor be allowed in.

    Just to add another layer to this, the darkened area is pretty gentrified at this point. Note the recently-built, boxy apartment building in the midground on the right. Also, judging by what appears to be the railing of the balcony that this was taken from, the original photo was likely taken by a gentrifier.

    Not to undercut the message, which is true.

      “Not to undercut the message” he says, after undercutting the message because he decided that whoever took the photo wasn’t poor enough.

      I dont think anyone is even in those buildings, those are corporate skyscraper offices in the back.

        Not entirely. Lots of residences downtown, and the hotels are currently occupied by people whose homes went without power.

        No doubt there are some empty offices too, but to think that's everything you're seeing would be false.
