    Don’t have the money to actually help house and assist such people, but have the money for the resources to round them up and put them in facilities. Hmmm.

    This is going to completely fuck over all the thousands of people living in Skid Row LA, and hundreds of thousands of unhoused people across the country.

    They will likely simply jail all homeless people, and either throw them into deportation camps, or institutionalize them into the prison system that will suck even more US tax dollars.

    The wording explicitly also says mentally ill people, which empowers bigoted cops that will likely target trans people, and any vulnerable LGBTQ+ people as well.

    If you are trans reading this and still afraid to buy a gun and get marksmanship training, its not too late to fight back for your rights with a show of deterrence and aggressive posture.

    Just know that most democrats and most of the Left are too impotent to help you; they are afraid of self-defense firearms and most dont own any to help you fight with deterrence.

    All the protesting and finger waggling at fascists so far is a waste of time and it will never help you see change within your lifetime.

    The fascists on the Right only respect violence and the Left dont have any teeth to stop them for you. The time to prepare to protect yourself from conservative Christian fascists started thirty years ago, and is slowly crawling back from the roach infested shadows all over Europe and USA.

    The time of you being a weak pearl-clutching pacifist is over.

      institutionalize them into the prison system that will suck channel even more US tax dollars into corporate interests.

    assess Federal resources to determine whether they may be directed toward ensuring, to the extent permitted by law, that detainees with serious mental illness are not released into the public because of a lack of forensic bed capacity at appropriate local, State, and Federal jails or hospitals; and

    Concentration camps, right? This is saying we can cram you in like sardines and not provide beds, right?

    Looks half decent on the surface, actually. Too bad it’ll likely just be the return of Insane Asylums, or worse; concentration camps.

    Edit: Nuance is dead on the internet.
