White House adviser Stephen Miller was the driving force behind the Justice Department’s recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care, said people briefed on the situation.

    I’m pretty sure that if Miller hadn’t found success as a Machiavellian shitbag, he would’ve ended up a mass shooter.

      I wonder if male baldness can be construed as a disability - or a sign of bad genes or something. Maybe Stephen Miller should be institutionalized too.

      The obvious signs of psychopathy in this dude should be enough to put him in a straitjacket I would think though…

      I’m retired from an IT position with a community college. I have a wife, two cats, a house, and a Honda Accord. I work out 4 days a week.

      I’m also autistic. And this administration has openly discussed forcing me into a work camp.

        Both my wife and I are disabled. Fortunately, we don’t live in a fascist hellhole anymore. We left the US in 2002.

          Where did you go and how? It seems like options are limited unless you’re lucky enough to have some kind of tie to another country already.

            in-demand technical skills can get you out of the US. There are lots of companies in the EU that will import you, basically. You won’t make US money, but overall quality of life is arguably better over here.

              I know a lot of countries expect you to have a job lined up already, as a first step. Are there any particular places to look to apply for jobs willing to sponsor?

    They said Miller felt DOJ’s agreements—including one reached with South Carolina in December—would increase homelessness and didn’t adhere to President Donald Trump’s July executive order pressuring cities and states to move homeless people into treatment centers.

    Kind of surprised by that. Not half-pint Himmler.
