MA. Completely bewildered by our new world. Single parent, back to school at 40 & halfway through my bachelor's with a 4.0. Thank you so much for voting against my rights, my children's rights, & social safety nets we and many others rely on. /s FDT 🖕🏻

2) he must resign, AND there must be intense effort to combat health mis- and disinformation in our country. Health literacy NEEDS to be a priority- which this cabinet is shockingly devoid of.

@warren.senate.gov thank you for remembering our autistic children. We need to also remember that autistic children become autistic adults, including the countless autistic adults like myself listening to RFK spout these terrible lies. There is a dangerous collective of disinformation behind him-

Wild how stuck he is on the paying taxes bit. Like we don't pay our dues simply by virtue of being autistic. I'd love to know all the ways he has avoided paying additional taxes in his life- how he and other wealthy people and corporations haven't paid taxes. Let's have THAT conversation!

That argument (Gorka's) sounds like groundwork for who the next people would be as "home growns" are targeted :/ You represented Mahmoud Kahlil? You went to El Salvador to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia? You're locked up with them now for aiding and abetting them. I know it sounds extreme but so is CECOT

And he started with paying taxes. The more I think about the fact he started with paying our dues is so ENRAGING. I'd love to see all the ways he has avoided taxes in his adult life.

* It helps knowing I read almost exclusively nonfiction though. So a lot of nonfiction *can* be set down and picked back up again chapter by chapter or if I'm writing a paper I use what I need and lovingly forget I even own it until I need it again. 😆

I am a constant DNF-er. Sometimes on purpose, either I don't like the book or I got it for an excerpt. Otherwise it's because I am playing adhd-ping pong with books and read some for a few nights, set it down, and then pick another one up. I get library books out to scan through at home and return

Jfc. I wonder if this guy ever asked how CRT is taught in higher ed. Like maybe he could with people willingly enrolling in classes where it is included in the topics, and looking into CRT's origins in law.
But no. That, as you say, would be too close to critical thinking skills. We can't have that

Both? Both is good.
I love Lego but would also *love* to learn how to make a Kaiju ijs 👀 Do you think they'll have family suites? I know it goes against his attempts at proving it's not genetic but my kids and I are a package deal. But 1 Autist, Get 3 More. 😆

In the history of the right/conservatives being flat-out wrong with their policies and their reasoning... This is going to come out on top isn't it 🤦🏻♀️ jfc. They're so far beyond the "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" mantra they love so much they have jumped to "just do the time"

They're getting really desperate for ways to justify this. What's so awful is, if/when he finally comes home, people will believe these lies and he won't be safe.

2 as of the biggest issue here is "they", us autistic people, aren't paying our dues. Plenty of people have no athletic skills, and plenty of people write a terrible poem but are athletes or work in careers with far greater ethics and wisdom than RFK ever could dream of- autistic or not. ENRAGING.

Thank you. And having read this line several times over since yesterday- I'm feeling angrier and angrier about the line "will never pay taxes". As if the wealthy don't spend a good portion of their lives arranging their finances so they can pay the least amount in taxes.

A "DANGER" TO THE COMMUNITY.
I feel like we are going to need to start demanding evidence even for things like this. All accounts about Rumeysa are that she's kind, sweet, an exceptional student, etc. Is the danger that she could tell her side of the story? 🤔

Also. One of my favorite links to share here is how well the date of MA has done with their 4% millionaire tax. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

And not much attention about Amanda Nguyen, who went on this trip and worked for YEARS to be an astronaut, has put her own dreams on hold to advocate for others, etc:

Any correlation with thimerosal has been thoroughly debunked. There's countless studies showing no link between vaccines and autism, while the ONE study of just 12 children discussing a possible link between thimerosal in the MMR vaccine was retracted. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-evi...

People need to know that beyond his commentary about autistic people and autism being wrong and overall terrible, it's also setting his framework for his eugenicist beliefs to justify making sure autistic people do not exist.

Thank you, from a fellow autistic person. He is so ridiculously enraging.

Wow. Right. Because what even is not having a house when you're a silly peasant who could just go get a job and buy one, duh. Pfft. Silly peasants.

I'm autistic and a single parent of autistic children. Are we athletic? No. Would we be if we weren't autistic? Also no 😆 I'm 42, in school with a 4.0. Our story is ours. None of our stories are reflected in what RFK's nonsense implies.

LMAO now he's a TOP MEMBER of the gang!? Wow. Will wonders never cease. Bondi must have some really incredible sources that literally no one else has- not even Kilmar Abrego Garcia himself

Me too. We can't look away, that's how these things keep happening. It's normal for people to need to take breaks if it gets to be too much. In my classes we constantly see versions of "silence = death" in protests and movements to make change- like you say they count on us to stay quiet & look away

Lol I tried when I was 6. I got put in left field, a bug flew into my mouth, I gagged on it, and never wanted to go back again. 😆

JFC. Yes some autistic children and adults have higher support needs than others including toileting. Others need no assistance in these kinds of skills and are athletic, make all kinds of money, pay taxes, often in jobs being MUCH smarter than fucking RFK Jr. He makes me SO ANGRY 😡

I find it very confusing how the case could be referred to the DOJ to prosecute the ...DOJ?? Am I following that option correctly?
