So, we've now sold 14 of my ' Eat Shit, Ted Cruz shirts, which means we've raised another $27 to donate to a cause which he wouldn't support. So I sent those proceeds to Austinmutualaid ! Thanks to everyone who's helped do some good. Shirts still up: cottonbureau.com/p/P2HW25/shirt…

We will be coordinating closely with our friends at Central Florida Mutual Aid. Please support their Hurricane Ian efforts if you are able: linktr.ee/CFLMutualAid

🧵This morning we hosted a meeting outside of Salvation Army ATX. Dozens of shelter residents stopped by to share their anger and worries. Salvation Army is the only downtown shelter offering beds to single women. The closure is reckless and will be devastating.

To all the people scared by Austin police frat fear-mongering about staffing: 1. There's nothing more #ATXCouncil can give police to fill vacancies & the police frat knows this - they just want more $ & impunity. 2. Austin officials can help, but not how you've been told. 1/5

#ATXCouncil already funds: - the highest big city police salaries in Texas, - 100s of vacant positions, - $10s of K in bonuses for new recruits & - all the cadet classes the academy can run. But police *still* struggle to recruit & not just in Austin but all over. 2/5

On top of that, all the police hired from the $ in the 1994 crime bill started reaching retirement. Add on the cops that quit during the pandemic (like many jobs) & all the folks cops run out of the job w/ their awful culture & it means lots of cops leaving & fewer joining. 3/5

So why does the Austin police frat keep confronting City Council about staffing if they can't do anything else about it? The Austin police frat wants even more pay & even less oversight in the next police contract. So they scare people into badgering council to this end. 4/5
