I love how this administration clearly has a disdain for the homeless. Guess who is responsible for leading the movement ( #deinstitutionalization) that is directly responsible for increases in the homeless in the US?

Don't say what we don't need to do, say what needs to be done. Says Markus Schefer, United Nations

“Deinstitutionalization has taken its own life. First, it is a difficult word. But then, it also puts its emphasis on one part of the equation only. Don’t say what we don’t need to do, say what needs to be done.”
