“The federal takeover of Washington, D.C., rightfully attracted extensive media coverage, but an executive order called ‘Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,’ quietly issued on July 24th, received remarkably little attention. Perhaps it didn’t make a splash because it wasn’t specifically about policing (or, for that matter, National Guarding), but more generally about how we should treat people who already exist on the outermost fringes of society, human beings who have long been reduced to labels like ‘addict’ or ‘homeless.’ Indeed, the Trump administration is counting on us to renounce those living on the streets, while struggling with their mental health or the cost of housing (or both). And if history is any guide, that may be exactly what most of us do.” (09/11/25)
