Instead of investing in proven solutions, the administration is doubling down on cruel and ineffective policies that strip people of their rights, lock them into dangerous institutions, and punish them for having nowhere else to go.

  2. What proven solutions are you referring to, exactly? Hospitalization has been proven to increase suicide rates, incur abuse, and cause irreversible damage to “patients”. You do fuck all to help any of them unless it’s convenient to you.

  3. This is part of his grift with his millionaire buddies. He is currently funneling money for incarceration into the private sector and boosting their profit. It’s not personal to him unless it’s a dollar bill.

  4. Feels like those institutions from the 1800's to 1900's. Hideous places.

    In my state, the government shut down well-functioning state mental hospitals. You can guess what happened.

  5. Since Reagan the GOP and now MAGA, deem illness and poverty to be a flaw of moral character, meaning it's all your fault. Their hubris is limitless! 😠

  6. Thanks to the ACLU thousands of violent mentally ill people are on the streets and hundreds of innocent people have been killed by them, but yeah, keep donating. 🙄

  7. They're giving themselves power to go after and jail anyone they want to. They've are going to instate martial law and cancel the next elections I believe.

    This is much darker than punishment. It's veering headlong into termination. Hitler eliminated 300,000 "unfit" and "unworthy to live." Many of them children.

  10. Another category Trump wants in Concentration Camps. He's not the first: Google Aktion T4 for how the previous guy did it. Once they build the camps, they're going to want to keep them full. Don't let them: support our allies like the ACLU, never again means never again.

  11. Disappointed in this response. This is clearly a push to put "undesirables" in concentration camps, exactly like Hitler did with Aktion T4.

  12. I hate the Deja vu version of Germany under Hitler from 1933-1945 increasingly inflicted on this country.

  13. Only financial way to do that is exterminations. Red Hatters sending their dementia parents & drug/alcohol addicted children to the death chambers.

  14. Trump told a crowd at an event that his late uncle John Trump had taught the dead terrorist Theodore Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber. He made the claim despite the fact that his uncle died 11 years before Kaczynski was revealed as the Unabomber and arrested www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

    Donald Trumps fitness for office should be assessed, one US commentator has claimed.

  15. This is an underwhelming response. Trump is doing a blatant replication of Aktion T4 to the point I suspect tens of millions if not hundreds of millions will die from Trump's policies. Anything short of backing a coup against the Trump regime is anemic.
