Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

One thing about neurodivergent folks is that we stand on business. Despite trying to navigate a world that requires conformity to fit in the vast majority of us refuse to do so if it means compromising our morals or integrity. #AuDHD #Autism #ADHD #cPTSD

Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a white, neurotypical-coded rebrand for traits that neurodivergent people are pathologized for. It centers fragility over disability rights and fuels a self-help market of books, workshops, and coaching.

Watching Jurassic Park, where a computer nerd with a debt problem and delusions of grandeur tears down all the safety systems, with no understanding of the consequences, so he can better facilitate his planned espionage and theft.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

Instead of making more They're Gay, Gay for Each Other anti-Trump & Musk propaganda the DCCC could simply hire Billy Eichner to run around them yelling "sir, sir, for a dollar, name your children"

Bezos isn’t “bending the knee.” Corporate media isn’t either. The oligarchs aren’t scared or capitulating, they’re part of a coup in the middle of an aggressive class war. The longer we keep framing it otherwise the worse it’s going to get. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-birth-...

Everything from the budget cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to what RFK is doing at HHS boils down to eugenics. The official policy of the Republican controlled federal government is that the poor and disabled should suffer and die.

Late diagnosed neurodivergent people were relentlessly criticized growing up for behavior(s) they could not help. Once they figure it out suddenly everyone that’s been criticizing them their entire life has the audacity to say things like: “You don’t have autism or adhd. You are perfectly normal.”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The craziest thing about RFKjr going after SSRIs and ADHD meds is that it’s the only way that vast swaths of Americans can even participate in capitalism. So much of the mental health apparatus is just about getting your ass back to work so some asshole can buy another vacation home.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

The coming mass death of societies most at risk is on the heads of every Republican. The plausibly deniable genocide and eugenic slaughter of innocents by republicans is a key facet of the current form of fascist authoritarianism. They believe if nature kills for them they won’t be held accountable.

it’s insane that rightwingers have created a social and legal ecosystem where if any murder becomes a political issue, the right will ensure they get off free and then immediately pipeline them to the upper echelons of their society, rewarding them as the pawns they are

Musk is forcing federal agencies into compliance. Just as Nazi Germany merged industry with state control, DOGE erases the boundary between corporate power and government authority—centralizing control in the hands of a few.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist. Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success. Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success. It's that simple.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.
