So, the DOJ's recent memo re: the ADA's integration mandate isn't getting nearly enough attention (of course not... it has to do with disability rights).
The basic gist is that the mandate says that disabled people should be integrated into their communities unless it's completely unfeasible, and that, in turn, is used as the base justification for home care and community care to be mandated over nursing homes or other forms of institutionalization. The added side effect is that home/community care is cheaper (costs tax payers less) and results in overall better outcomes than the alternative.
The memo is an invitation for red states to stop paying for this kind of care, which will inevitably lead to law suits that will reach the SCOTUS. You can see where this is going, right? This is the first step in MAGA's/MAHA's desire to take people like me out of our homes. Remember - the OG Nazis did the same thing and tortured and killed 200,000+ disabled people.
This should absolutely be raising alarm bells, but because the disabled are always (intentionally) out of sight, out of mind (despite being the largest marginalized community), no one seems to give a shit.
