It is a very broad category!

Unfortunately, RFK has already indicated a desire to put people on antidepressants and adderall into labor camps.

It’s like the worst version of the improv game “yes, and”

Sec. 3. (a) The Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the Secretary of Transportation shall
(ii)   enforce prohibitions on urban camping and loitering […]
(iv)   enforce, and where necessary, adopt, standards that address individuals who are a danger to themselves or others and suffer from serious mental illness or substance use disorder, or who are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves, through assisted outpatient treatment or by moving them into treatment centers or other appropriate facilities via civil commitment or other available means, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Sec. 3. (b) The attorney general shall
(iii)  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

WaPo missing the fucking point and painting this as anything but what it is. It’s not AND, it’s OR. It’s not mental health facilities, it’s prison.

Here’s who it could impact:

• Anyone with mental health issues that could be deemed dangerous to themselves or others.
  Anyone with depression (~36% of the U.S.) or who has said something off-color online.
• Anyone who uses drugs.
  Does your state have a legal weed program? Do they collect data on who purchases? Are they likely to give that data to the feds? Have you told your doctor/will they or their systems tell the feds?
• Anyone who attends a protest that does not have a permit, or has the permit suspended during the protest, because then they are loitering.

As someone pointed out in a now-deleted post - this comes after Trump has offered Palantir unfettered access to U.S. citizen data. Unless a judge completely kills this, it will be massively abused.

It also includes people who are loitering, a sufficiently broad definition that could be maliciously wielded against protestors.

It also stipulates that if hospitals are unavailable, jails will be used.

So it’s literally an order to allow them to throw anyone they want into prison.

You know, a holster is not an idea that occurred to me, but I sort of like the idea of just having like a magical holster of corn dogs.

Or like, an ankle holster. Imagine explaining that to airport security.
My personal favorite riff on the attached holder idea is one of those old school gas station change dispensers. You pull a little lever and a corn dog pops up out of one of the tubes like a spring-loaded snake. (Would have to be appropriately sized.) Maybe other tubes have condiments?

Well, of course, but the timing is convenient. And including ‘loitering’ without elaboration is going to be used by any sufficiently unscrupulous law enforcement to target protests that do not have permits.

I guess criminalizing homelessness and protest in one fell swoop, while allowing the authorities to throw people into prison labor camps is one way to distract from the Epstein files as well as bring back slavery and keep the corporations going once the economy collapses.

But what are we going to do, peacefully protest loiter?

enforce prohibitions on urban camping and loitering;

Editing to clarify:
If every unpermitted protest is deemed loitering, then it does not matter if people ‘start something’ because they will get scooped up, and thrown into jail for expressing their first amendment rights.
I don’t know how long it will take for the courts to clarify/nuke the clause, but it’ll be enough time that plenty of people will lose their jobs for just trying to express their rights.

Freshly made, slightly warm hummus, with veggies and taboon-style pita bread.

It would be lovely to have something like steak or chicken or a tasty cheesy dish, but I would just wind up in an early grave I went with that.

For some reason the idea of pulling a delicious smelling/looking corndog out of a pocket and handing it to a frazzled/sad random with a genuine “Hey, you don’t have to rawdog life alone — you can corndog it instead.” is like, Jesus-tier miracle shitposting.

People who are always the hero of their own stories are not trustworthy narrators.

She could have been okay if she stood for anything other than the status quo.

She had to stand for something - I think that she was so unmemorable as a VP that people would have either looked to her past as a prosecutor, or to Biden’s massively unpopular policies on Palestine when trying to define her as a candidate.
…. So she leaned into Biden’s Palestine policies. Like a fucking idiot.

I think that being the alternative to some dinosaurs wasn’t enough. I think she also had to have policies that departed from theirs. Alas, she didn’t and the U.S. decided it wanted something different. (Or the election was swayed by Musk’s illegal vote buying lottery scheme, which he’ll never be punished for, or perhaps those unaudited last minute code updates to voting machines swayed the election, but we’ll never know, because justice is a myth and democracy has always been just performative enough to prevent another rebellion in the U.S.)

He had also been dating Milenia for about a year when he said this, and was also not fully divorced from Marla Maples (though they were separated).

Bastion of morality, that one.

The same Vance who had dinner with the Murdoch’s just before the Trump letter to Epstein was released?

Noooo…

I will not be suppressed.

His medical records are inside Epstein’s client list!

Only way to be sure is to release them both!

Yes, kinda.

I was in an entry-level “database” class that was administered online. I took it as padding to get credits to fulfill a requirement after switching majors. I figured it would be easy because I had a few years of on the job experience with databases.
Although it was still the early days of online learning, my school did have a comprehensive online learning platform. The teacher was self-taught, and hosted the course on their personal website. While we did have a book and a syllabus, the actual course focused on how the teacher knew how to use Microsoft Access.
They graded based on assignments that they handed out all at once at the beginning of the semester, plus tests. I did the entire semester’s homework in about 2 hours the first week, but found I kept missing test questions. After each test, it showed you the expected answers, and they often made little sense (not wrong, just weird – using anachronistic names for things, or the question was very specific about where menu options were that weren’t there anymore). You could retake the test as many times as you wanted (I don’t know if that was a bug or not), but I didn’t have that kind of time. So I just viewed source, where he’d clearly labeled each correct answer, and more or less skipped through the dumb quizzes.

Wrong.

Preamble: I’m a CISHET man, however, I’m neurodiverse and have suffered abuse in both childhood and as an adult.

One of the things I’ve very recently learned is (for me) that a lot of the push to fix things, anticipate problems, and take care of others comes from anxiety spawned from my past trauma. I was the peacemaker, and I took it on myself to prevent people with poor emotional skills from fighting. I’m afraid of others being mad — at me, at others, at pets, at traffic, at anything — and that the people currently in my life will have the same unfair expectations and unhealthy responses as the people who, well, made those anxiety responses.
Being on top of everything is my way of avoiding the fear and anxiety, but it burns me out and makes me resentful, even if I can’t consciously identify I will feel that way before I get to that point. It puts a major strain on my relationships and really impoverishes me.
By choosing to be okay with the fear that I’m letting others down, and communicating with them before I reach my breaking point (either in terms of burnout or frustration), I don’t create expectations that I don’t enjoy fulfilling/or I don’t make it so that I don’t feel like I can’t renegotiate responsibilities with people.

Which is all to say: Holding and maintaining boundaries is scary, but it will make you happier. And it will make your relationships stronger as you lean in to trust each other more. No one can do everything. It’s okay to be human, and it’s okay to recognize that people who have unfair expectations of you are not healthy for you/you should still hold your boundaries on what you’re willing to give.

I worry sometimes my intent is lost in all my words, but to be clear, I see my comment as being in support of the one I’m replying to, just with a different context.

Words fail me, so here’s a picture to explain my thought.

Sinclair Media Group executives right now:

Oh, come on. Completely unrealistic. He’d never admit anything about the minors.
