There Is No Benevolence Here: Open the Records, Name the Crimes, Bring the Victims Forward
There is no benevolence in the Minnesota Department of Human Services publicly funded Health Insurance Medicaid planned care or management, nor in DHS operated facilities—only historical pattern of heinous abuse, lawful neglect to hold DHS administrators and employment body legally accountable for both negligent and criminal acts, and obligation to ensure disabled people receiving discernment of state funds received for disability care.
These programs did not emerge from political generosity or enlightened policy making. They exist because the State of Minnesota was forced—by the courts—to change. In 2009, a class action lawsuit resulted in a settlement after the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) was found to be in systemic violation of the rights of disabled citizens held in state‑run facilities. The record detailed extensive compliance failures, including physical, psychological, and financial abuse and operating to a degree of ninety-nine pages of non-compliant regulatory behavior. These were not abstract violations. They were lived harms inflicted on real people.
Moreover, at not point has the state become in complete compliance with the settlement agreement let alone made corrections to culture which is why it took an outside team President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to come in and create a lane for fraud, which has been being reported all along, to land on the desk of individuals who aren't part of what agreeably can only be considered Racketeering at this point. Widespread systemic abuse of disabled continues in DHS facilities and is arguably much more severe in the community than it is has ever been in facilities which are under more standard surveillance than say an individuals home.
The reality of statewide, state-sanctioned retaliation against whistleblower whom are inside these programs is IN FACT deadly. Whistleblower retaliation also targets DHS employees who suffered some mild discomforts comparably but per usual these individuals are viewed as "valuable" in the states eugenic based society and therefore given immediate justice while "disabled" Minnesotans are viewed as of less value and left to die.
The state continues to cooperate in blocking them from reporting fraud directly and viewing what DHS has written about fraud when its reported—this was existent prior to the tenure of former commissioner Emily Piper Johnson but went back underground because of this farce called MAARC which feeds directly into the same agencies under the same rules. Fraud in health insurance programs designed to deliver daily care, medical equipment in funding comes in the form of claims that processes have been followed to regulation and medical services have been rendered. The disabled are the first to know if fraud has occurred and yet they remain systematically barred from entering that information in an auditable database—rather than asking why that is, considering the the historical record of state committed abuse and fraud—let us agree that this is problem.
Speaking of problems in this area, DHS is the designated office for investigating reports of abuse. It is up to their jurisdiction to determined whether or not to prosecute complaints of abuse. They're also the agency that receives and distributes funding connected to these programs. They're the agency that qualifies individuals and manages these programs. If there is so much as an appeal of services, let alone reporting "criminal acts" those matters are sent to DHS Appeals and Regulations department where complaints are heard by DHS Hearing Officers on DHS property. Yet, we have a rooms full of people pretending that they cannot identify what the problem is.
That same room of people has been found abusing or financially exploiting the disabled on one side of the isle and running deceptive witch hunts on the other that marginalize another group, while pretending that their are no victims only shell companies and are triggering a "dumping" of the true disabled victims who have been fighting fraud and abuse to no end since 2006 but not disabled funding and neither side is responding to this government created crisis as bodies begin to perish already. What the public gets is complicit media reporting that the government does nothing but respond.
Total Abandonment of Black Disabled Minnesotans
The public face of disability—also a farce. Let Minnesota tell it, there are no disabled Black Minnesotans, only faces that appear Black, stealing from angelic white people. That’s ridiculous. In a state that calls a 90% racial wealth gap a "Minnesota Paradox," based on reported rates in areas of "direct access to vulnerable people," and therefore "reports" and "procedural systems"—when massive fraud is now proven and growing with every passing day—it is time to stop pretending that we don’t understand that these people are victims of government fraud, corruption, and false reporting.
We say that we've moved beyond slavery and the U.S. Civil War, but the issue there was not slavery. Dred Scott of Fort Snelling, Minnesota was not a slave. He was a father and husband who got his family to free territory, and the criminals there decided to enslave them all anyway. The problem then was legal abuse, and the problem now is legal abuse. We have not moved past slavery. We follow the opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney like a code of "Minnesota Nice" order. What we’ve moved is only partly past location. The plantation has been moved to the Department of Human Services. Fraud has become the modus operandi controlling the health, wealth, living environment, and location of the enslaved in order to ensure that the plantation stays full. Its employees have been found guilty of abusing the enslaved, and its masters have been found guilty of stealing their money.
A war has been fought and won, and we're still enslaved 250 years later. I don't think that can last much longer. I don't believe there is a louder declaration of the concern that can be made than the national taking of a knee and a vow of silence within the Democratic voter base to abstain, at minimum, from obstructing Republican control for the benefit of dismantling this mammoth that has remained the root of this bondage since Lincoln's assassination. How disappointing to watch them take the worst of two options because of the Democrats that infiltrated that party long ago—the choice to work against those supporting them rather than with them to settle this nation into a healthier, wealthier one expeditiously. I guess everyone’s vision cannot be as far-reaching toward the privilege of pleasure—even the privilege of pleasure that rightfully must be shared with those who helped us erect this nation from the beginning: Black Americans. But I digress.
Black disabled Minnesotans must enter the conversation, rather than being forced by society to get by as if "they're built strong enough" to exist without medical treatment and disability support. The face of disability is not limited to developmentally delayed Minnesotans, nor to those who struggle greatly to articulate their needs. There are mentally high functioning, physically disabled Black Minnesotans who have never had access to consistent medical treatment for the length of their disabilities even when enrolled in Medicaid insurance healthcare delivery programs—and it is these disabled people who are suffering the greatest atrocities.
An Article From USA Demonstrates That Minnesota's Hospitals and Clinics Are Run Like Its Department of Human Services.
The Code, This Order of RBT Is Damaging Professors Have Studied It. Even more Though Are Those Who Are Living It—The Issue Is Fraud. Current. Corruption. Fraud.
These housing programs are part of a legally binding class action settlement agreement. If the aim is to "take back" a settlement and rebuild the cause by institutionalizing disabled individuals who have set themselves free—just as Mr. Dred Scott got his family to Minnesota—then it deserves a trial of Wehrmacht proportions, starting with METO. Bring the appointing governors. Bring the commission staff. Bring the victims, and make your case. Let this state, and this nation, see the truth, as what’s increasingly looking like a political farce unfolds. More and more days pass with people like Shireen Ghandi serving as the head of the DHS commission, despite her being at least deputy commissioner through every fraud case and class action for the last decade. Constant promotions come out of the house of fraud, while countless lives crumble and cease, and government fails to hold the "sources"—not the recipients—of fraud accountable.
And where are these forgotten, invisible victims? What is their medical condition? How are they living? Trafficked, that’s how, and that is a provable fact. Barely living. Systematically restricted to slums where they can be monitored and controlled. Cash cows—whose inalienable birthrights to self-determined life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have been deferred. And we call this "nice." We say to the world, "Here we are, benevolent."
To now suggest that programs born of the Jensen settlement can simply be canceled, dismantled, or quietly hollowed out—without new legal proceedings, without public hearings, and without accounting for the original findings—is not just irresponsible. It is absurd. And it raises a far more troubling question: what is being hidden?
If Fraud Is the Issue, Open the Doors
If fraud exists within these programs—and no serious advocate denies that fraud can and does occur—then the response must be transparency, not erasure. Open the hearings. Make them public. Put the full record on the table.
Let us talk about fraud and abuse with specificity:
-
Names
-
Acts
-
Dates
-
Amounts
-
Consequences
And most importantly: bring the victims forward.
Let the public see not only the alleged provider fraud now dominating headlines, but also the long‑standing internal failures within DHS itself—failures that predate any recent contractors, shell companies, or politically convenient scapegoats. Let the public examine whether patterns of misconduct, neglect, and retaliation have been addressed at all, or merely repackaged.
Because without transparency, “fraud” becomes a narrative tool—used selectively, loudly against the powerless, and quietly avoided when it implicates the state.
These Are Not Victimless Crimes
Too often, public discourse frames these cases as accounting problems or budget overruns. They are not. They are crimes with bodies attached to them—disabled bodies.
Nor are they reducible to simplistic racialized narratives about “foreign shell companies.” That framing obscures far more than it reveals. It deflects attention away from institutional accountability and toward convenient villains, while the systems that enabled, ignored, or retaliated against whistleblowers remain intact.
I know this because I am not an abstract observer. I am an ongoing victim.
A Record of Harm That Never Ended
My experience spans decades and systems. I was first harmed within DHS‑administered programs—PMAP, then home‑based care—where maltreatment was reported and ignored for seventeen years. The physical consequences nearly cost me my ability to walk. When I fled the state to preserve my health and treat those injuries, the abuse did not end; it followed me.
Since then, I have been subjected to housing and inspection fraud, HUD‑related failures, and municipal misconduct across multiple states. What began as disability‑related harm metastasized into a multi‑system collapse that has affected three generations of my family. Throughout this time, state and federal leaders have turned away, while retaliation intensified rather than accountability.
This is not exaggeration. It is documentation that has yet to be meaningfully addressed.
What I Asked For Was Never Radical
I have never asked for special treatment. I asked for two things—both promised under the law:
-
Access to healthcare sufficient to remain financially independent after disability, without permanent entanglement in DHS‑controlled systems.
-
Protection under the law, so that what I build through my own labor and God‑given talent cannot be arbitrarily taken from me.
Both were denied.
And I am still here. Still reporting. Still documenting. Still believing that justice—real justice—is possible.
Justice Requires Exposure, Not Silence
If Minnesota is serious about reform, then accountability must run upward as well as outward. Government employees, administrators, and overseers must be subject to the same scrutiny demanded of providers and beneficiaries. Anything less is not reform—it is preservation of power.
This cycle has persisted for decades: internal abuse, external blame, quiet settlements, and institutional amnesia. It will not end until the full record is exposed and those responsible—at every level—are held to account.
There must be justice.
Not performative outrage.
Not selective prosecutions.
Not silence disguised as reform.
Justice.
