MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

NEW: We sent a letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. raising serious concerns with the proposed creation of a national autism "registry." Data collection on autistic people could be ripe for abuse, and the government shouldn’t be shutting disabled people out of the conversation.

At this rate, parents of children with disabilities are going to end up on a waitlist to get information about the FSCD waitlist. All while their kids continue to live without the support they desperately need. #abpoli #ableg #FSCD

The anti-vaccine crowd say they just want to “see the evidence” in the form of placebo-controlled randomized trials. But we've done these trials. And we know our vaccines work. Which is precisely why we can't use placebo to test better vaccines. Read more: epiellie.substack.com/p/first-do-n...

With NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya dismissing my reporting as "false" and "spreading rumors" hours before releasing a policy that confirmed said "rumors," I feel compelled to respond. Here's an inside look into how this story was reported. It was a weird one. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It's horrifying that the woman repeatedly attacked an autistic tiny child with racial slurs, and equally horrifying that millions of people have donated to her fundraiser because she's "iN fEaR oF mY LiFe." Explains how Kamala lost to a white supremacist. It's who we are as a nation.

The measles vaccine is proven to work. It has saved millions of lives. That’s an undeniable fact, no matter what anyone says. The ‘treatments’ repeatedly touted by RFK Jr—budesonide, clarithromycin, and cod liver oil—do not. No matter what anyone like him says. 🧵

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.
