Democratic led city of Fremont California is slated to vote on a law that criminalizes "aiding and abetting the homeless" what the hell ever that means. The bill also criminalizes being homeless, sleeping in any type of public area like parks or sidewalks.

Who are they? Or rather, what #terrorist paramilitary mischief can be done under the guise of "#deportation raids" by racists, gangs, etc
But I love the energy of the woman filming this shameful travesty, calling out their bullshit
