RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

This isn’t deportation. It’s abduction. Trump is secretly kidnapping people—no warning, no due process, just disappearance.

our country is run by immature, vicious bullies

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

In addition to being morally repugnant, I wonder if they are aware that legally YOU CAN BE MAD ABOUT MORE THAN ONE ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

A desperate sign of weakness, not of strength.

Enemies of Democracy, 44 of 54. Tom Homan is Trump's "border czar," meaning it's his job to figure out how to monetize human misery.

This is some sick shit

I’m becoming more and more convinced he doesn’t know what autism is

South Florida! This is tomorrow!

In this week's episode, we sat down with #TheLastOfUs creators and showrunners Craig Mazin & Neil Druckmann to talk about crafting season 2, adapting for television, advice for aspiring writers, and more. 3rdandfairfax.libsyn.com/ep-399-craig... #WGAWPod

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

The Texas Senate has approved a new film incentive program that rewards films which are "faith-based," promote "family values" or "portrays Texas in a positive fashion." I may be new here but that sure sounds like government-funded religious propaganda. apnews.com/us-news/bill...

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Enemies of Democracy, 43 of 54. Mike Waltz was the guy who included the editor of The Atlantic on the war-plans chat. I chose to portray him being befuddled by one of those newfangled candlestick phones.

This is no dream! This is really happening!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

A lawsuit over the Trump administration's infamous Houthi Signal group chat has revealed what steps departments took to preserve the messages—and how little they actually saved. www.wired.com/story/heres-...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

This morning marked 160 years since the death of Abraham Lincoln. If you think that was a long time ago, think of it this way: If a baby born the morning Lincoln died lived to be 80, then a baby born the day that child died is 80 today. History is here now, and it’s happening.

Trump, who (falsely) claimed during his election campaign that Biden wasn't doing ENOUGH to assist with NC's hurricane recovery....wait for it....just revoked Biden's Dec 2024 hurricane clean-up reimbursement agreement. #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2025/04/12/f...

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

This is important.

A double-header today, Enemies of Democracy nos 38 and 40. I thought I had already posted #38 but apparently not! Trump fixer and Batman villain Roger Stone was in his youth, one of Nixon's "ratfuckers" in the 1970s. Mr. Zuckerberg I think everyone is familiar with.

Thousands of Hungarian protesters turned the streets of Budapest into a sea of gray on Saturday poking fun at their countries far-right prime minister Viktor Orban’s recent clampdown on LGBTQ rights and diversity.

Hungary is the political regime most admired by right-wing Republicans. THIS IS NO DREAM! THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING ! apnews.com/article/hung...

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Hungary’s parliament has passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities. apnews.com/article/hung...

I don't think a single person in this administration should be in charge of anything ever, but I would pay good money to watch them in a Spelling Bee
