Trump and his followers revel in declaring "There's only two genders!" but the truth is we are far more complex beings than that. Time to go beyond the binary.

New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: To augment its roughly 6,000 ICE deportation agents, the Trump administration has enlisted the help of other federal agencies including the DEA and IRS. But an even more significant expansion may be playing out at county and municipal levels.

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

“#AutismAcceptance is about loving autistic people for who they are, helping them find and embrace their strengths, & helping them learn the skills to thrive in a world that wasn’t meant for them. It isn’t about changing them or doing research to cure them.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

Hey RFK Jr… you know what causes autism? Me! I cause autism. Neurodivergent people have autistic & neurodivergent kids. Because autism is genetic.

Greg Abbott is bringing his private school voucher bill to the floor of the Texas House next week. Thousands of teachers and parents showed up at the Capitol to send a message loud enough for him to hear from the Governor’s mansion: “We don’t want your billionaire voucher scam.”

"Even if [RFKJr] were not clearly committed to pushing dangerous & debunked pseudoscience about vaccines, it is simply impossible that actual research into a supposed environmental cause of autism could be completed by Sept–real science does not move that quickly, bc real science cares about truth."

“When top officials spread misinformation about autism, autistic people suffer. The false idea that autism is caused by an “injury,” by something external going wrong, makes people more afraid of autism and of autistics.”

Do you ever look at a sparrow and think, "that bird is really wasting her potential?" No. That thought would clang against the simple dignity we sense in nature, the dignity of a living thing inhabiting a life. You are that sparrow. You are the branch she rests upon. You embody that same dignity.

As a reminder that protests don’t end where they start: when news of the Stamp Act first arrived in America in May 1765, most printers reacted by advertising on the premise of “buy now before prices go up.” Took until August/September for even the people most affected to actively turn against it.

“School boards and boards of trustees have been infiltrated by a lot of right-wing politician. By using the board of trustees to implement pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-DEI law, it makes it really clear that this bill is not about parental rights, but it’s about pushing forth a political agenda.”

After cutting social security, we can’t imagine a more direct attack on senior citizens than this. Dementia is one of the biggest health challenges facing seniors (and their families) today.

Here’s a story about a kid-a legal immigrant to the US-who Trump deported to the worst prison in the world. The kid wasn’t in a gang & didn’t have tattoos. Your federal government in action: no due process, no common sense, no decency. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic... @texasmonthly.bsky.social

NEW: The chapters, one board member argued, were inappropriate for students because they discussed “vaccines and polio,” touched on “topics of depopulation,” had “an agenda out of the United Nations” and included “a perspective that humans are bad.” With @texastribune.org

In film: Long dismissed or disregarded, the Texas-Mexico border has come to be seen as a violent no-man’s-land thanks to incessant sensational news coverage and cartel thrillers. But these stories paint a different, quieter picture.

RFK Jr. is elevating some of the most incompetent and publicly reviled anti-vax autism pseudoscience grifters, by literally putting them in charge of an HHS autism study.

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.
