Dehumanizing the unhoused, from Frey to Fascism, w/ Flannery Clark and Frank

In 2017, candidate Jacob Frey promised to end homelessness in five years. By 2023, he was instead crushing encampments and endorsing dehumanizing rhetoric about people experiencing homelessness and mental illness. In 2025, Donald Trump is marching the military into major cities and bragging about sweeping out unhoused people. How did we get here? We are joined by Flannery Clark, volunteer with the Sanctuary Supply Depot, and Frank, a friend who has experienced homelessness and mental illness. We talked about this rhetoric, the ignorance behind it, and the real solutions just waiting for political will and courage. Recorded 8/24/25. Read the show notes and find links for further reading
