This piece needs to be shared widely. The removal of protections for disabled people from unjustified commitment to institutions is going to be litigated soon, likely by the SCOTUS, with the help of the GOP's legal cases filed in Texas.

The writer identifies the Heritage Foundation's blueprint Project 2025 as the leading proponent of this policy. In doing so the looming spectre of the Nazi’ T-4 program for “disappearing” the disabled, mentally ill, terminally or chronically ill, is referenced as the end stage of such a policy, in addition to the history of brutal repression in the Soviet Union conducted through their psychiatric institutions.

Donald Trump and his leading enablers in the GOP, think tanks like Heritage, and the racist tech billionaires such as Musk and Thiel all have common ground… their belief in eugenics and their Hitlerite racial vision. The SCOTUS Neo-Confederate fascist majority are followers of Hitler's Crown Jurist, law professor Carl Schmitt. The plan was always a revival of reconditioned fascism, the question was how would they sneak it in the door.

This article gives us a window to look through to see just how they do it.
