Worse than that. Read this EO carefully, it says anyone they see as essentially out of their mind OR homeless. It’s repeated under every point they make. This here allows to take anyone they see as a “threat” and put into an institution.
Now Trump will treat being homeless as an offense to justify imprisoning people without trial in the growing set of concentration camps that he avoids calling what they are. All in the name of safe public spaces and less crime. Unconstitutional, but hard to stop.

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.
Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

There is no value to being civil in the face of brutality. There is value in expressing one's humanity, both for one's fundamental moral integrity and to signal to others that they should act too.

Harm to people, and the economy, would compound for decades to come. Beyond day-to-day implications, the complete shutdown of 16+ national laboratories & research facilities focusing on weather, climate, & oceans would bring about a multi-generational loss in American science.

It is difficult to describe just how disastrous it would be if just-released NOAA budget proposal (or even large portions) were to be enacted: It would involve a wholesale dismantling (decimation, really) of entities relevant to weather, climate, & ocean research & prediction.

This is way out of the box, but Republicans not running again who have problems with Trump GOP and what it is doing to the country, become Independents and caucus with the Democrats? You don't have to vote Democrat. With a few others doing the same we stop the madness for now. Dems, welcome them.
