I was so, so waiting for consequences to finally reach this asshole. Reminder that this teenage student and her family *were experiencing homelessness and was apparently exhausted trying to meet all her responsibilities! She needed an advocate, not a bully. This is the type of person that demands respect from you, while not valuing you as a human, beyond considering what you can do for him. I hope he endures excruciating traffic cases until he is removed from the bench...
EDIT: Changed to people-first language.
She was homeless, not ✨ unhoused ✨. Stop trying to minimise other people's suffering
I sure everyone understood what was meant by that. Stop creating an issue over nothing.
People can call them whatever they want. You can call them homeless, unhoused, unsheltered, houseless, displaced, vagrant, destitute, loiterers, whatever language helps you talk about homelessness in a way that actually helps people and doesn’t obfuscate the issue.
"Unhoused" is callous and "homeless" is not?
While others are downvoting you for missing the point (possibly because I was already attempting to consider them with empathy and dignity), I probably should have actually said "person experiencing homelessness", and have edited it as such.

Interestingly, the quote notes that using homeless as an adjective is fine, while using it as a noun is not. I did not know that!
Oh shit, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a Associated press reporter. My bad 😔
it's OK, we all make mistakes 🙂
How the fuck is that your only takeaway from that comment? Go play a game or something lol
Ah yes, pretend outrage.
People who are unhoused are not always homeless. Many unhoused people have homes in tents, camps, etc.
The term homeless is often used to obscure these homes so that residents can be attacked, dispossessed, encaged, etc.
