> I was greeted by 12 @PortlandPolice officers who were apparently guarding two dumpsters full of food that mutual aid orgs were trying to distribute and hungry folks were trying to eat > In 2018, officials in Kansas City poured bleach—literal poison—on perfectly edible food reserved for houseless and food insecure people.

They said that the water bottles were a danger to the officers—the officers with shields and bulletproof vests and guns. Similarly, officers in Louisville were seen smashing milk jugs and water cases set up by organizers for protesters who were affected by tear gas or simply needed water to drink in the summer heat. > Food is political.

Because the government isn’t just not helping, they’re actively getting in the way.
