There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

A family friend thinks I’m living in fear because I mask They won’t visit because having to mask robs them of joy They’ve been sick for 2 weeks Today they admit it’s the worst flu of their life. Can’t get out of bed, eat or drink. I deserve a medal for not asking them if it impacted their joy

Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. I’ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is ok…

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Disabled people are not expendable We aren’t “less than” We aren’t “getting a free ride” Being chronically ill is not like being on vacation Receiving benefits or any type of support is not easy The system is designed to dehumanize, discourage & punish We need support, understanding & allies

The sad irony of autistic people being called "fake" when we're desperately adjusting ourselves so we're not abused... while staying true to who we are, holding true to our beliefs and integrity... While everyone around us is willy nilly bending their values for personal gain

How could I not know I’m autistic? For many late-diagnosed adults, the answer lies in years of masking, internalizing stereotypes, and not having the language to name our experiences. Sometimes, fitting in becomes so automatic, we lose sight of ourself.

One reason I doubted I was autistic for so long is because most of what I read or heard reflected the middle-class autistic experience. That’s not my life. 1/5

Ellie Mulligan, 36, makes the same enquiry every time she’s too unwell to get out of bed, makes a social faux pas or accidentally punches herself in the face while brushing her teeth, despite being fully aware of her autism and gazillion comorbidities. www.patreon.com/posts/128664...

Reporter: An investigation found the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear not to exist. Leavitt: I understand there were some formatting issues…It does not negate the substance of the report Reporter: Is AI used to put together these reports? Leavitt: I can’t speak to that

Eye contact? I find it really difficult. I can do it, but if I do, I won’t be listening to a word you say. So I don’t bother anymore. It’s better if we both just look away and connect with our minds instead. youtube.com/shorts/7FzJI... @orion-kelly.bsky.social

France’s new assisted dying law will euthanize patients 17 days after requesting, and appears to have less checks & balances than Canada’s MAiD. As Noah said, financial support, medications, mobility aids etc take time. Care doesn’t come in 17 days. This is eugenics.

Internalized ableism deeply impacts late-diagnosed autistic adults, who often spend years in a world that overlooks their needs. This can lead to self-criticism, as societal ideals of "normalcy" and "productivity" become ingrained, making self-acceptance a challenging journey.

Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard." (Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)
