And now, an executive order that calls for the involuntary institutionalization of the homeless and mentally ill without due process or clear release criteria. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/ending-crime-and-disorder-on-americas-streets/

@ben So many things are being said about how this will only make it worse by other commenters that I can only add: Who is going to pay for something the public has no stomach for paying for? And who is going to let them build it in their backyards?
Lead balloons incoming, duck!
@ben The WaPo called it "hospitalization" - how can we win when we have these fuckers making it all sound palatable?
@ben I think the executive giving this order needs to dogfood his own product b/c clearly he meets that 2nd cat.
@ben in case anyone needed more hard proof about where this is heading, this should suffice
@ben 40+% of homeless are vet. Heartless and stupidity hallmark of Trump
@ben
Speed running our way through that German poem.

This was at the first 100 days. #RuthBenGhiat, #Autocracy scholar, analyses the #TrumpAdministration’s rapid shift towards #Authoritarianism. She talks about #Trump’s #PersonalityCult, how #Strongmen portray machismo and the potential for a female strongman figure. She also discusses how autocrats use corruption, violence and propaganda to stay in power, and how #ICE roundups echo the past, resembling a “secret police force”.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat anticipated that #America would reach the tipping point by September.

@ben fucking nazi president

So, as per Trump’s executive orders regarding immigration we can deport Melania and Barron Trump. As well as her parents.
As for this last executive order we can now have Donald Trump institutionalized for being mentally ill.
@ben this is downright terrifying.
@ben so in other words if I become homeless (say, because the minimum wage for autistic people is lower than for neurotypicals) I can be kidnapped? cool.
@ben Another distraction.
