It's 2025. There's no reason your neurodiversity summit poster should highlight 5 white people as your featured speakers. Do better.

RFK Jr is wrong, but not for the reasons you think. Now is not the time to demonstrate your or your Autistic kid's worth to capitalism. That's just ableism in a trench coat. undaunted.caitkirby.com/p/rfk-jr-is-...

“At the very least, share this post when you see someone making the wrong argument. Remember, our goal is to hold the line: we don’t measure value of human beings based on their ability to pay taxes or write a poem or play baseball.”

This is excellent: "When we re-center this conversation about low-support-needs Autistic folks - the folks who hold jobs and have degrees and play baseball and participate in capitalism—we give into RFK Jr’s rhetoric. We demonstrate that the lives of those with high-support-needs are not valuable."

They're kidnapping people off the street and sending them to a prison in El Salvador known for torturing and killing prisoners. And the Supreme Court says that's OK. Maybe focus on that?

Companies like Orchid have as their central interest the mainstreaming of eugenic thought and practice. That's in addition to the profits they hope to gain (and are already gaining) from such mainstreaming. 1/

Greenland is not a failing business ripe to be scooped up by any vulture capitalists who happen by. It doesn't have a price tag; it's not a revenue-generation machine. Out of all the awfulness of the past two months, seeing framings like this from other journalists is among the most heartbreaking.

Booker, after speaking for more than 24 hours and breaking Thurmond's record, is still standing and still speaking--using his time to warn his colleagues and his country about the dangers of defunding universities and defunding scientific research.

Teared up a little bit watching Sen. Booker crush the previous record and continue on with his protest. May this be a turning point for the Democrats.

“Bending the knee and precomplying will not stave off these attacks. Acquiescing to censorship will not stop the threats. Only engaging in collective, bold, public, strategic struggle & disruption has the potential to do so. We did not pick this fight, but this is the fight that we are in.”

Putting an academic department is receivership literally allows the government to dictate what Columbia University professors are allowed to teach and research. It’s the textbook definition of fascist control over education and what people are allowed to know.
