Our grandson is autistic and as wonderful a grandson as you could wish for. He is smart, kind, considerate, helpful, holds down a job, and lives in his own flat. I realise there are different levels of autism, but people just need to be kind and patient with them or any other type of person.

Children with autism, especially girls, are too often overlooked and misunderstood. It's time for a system that recognises and supports their needs @mp4stratford.bsky.social

"Wednesday 2 April this year is World Autism Day. As a parent with a son on the autism spectrum, I’m interested in understanding how people on the autism spectrum can be commonly misunderstood..."

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

Trudeau is absolute class.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Starmer: “I do think the United Kingdom has a responsibility to step up and to lead. We’ve done that historically. We’re doing that again.”

America, just in case you thought Friday went well here’s how the London Times saw it …..

Trump isn’t just rootin’ for Putin; he’s puttin’ out for Putin.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...

No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in the clothes he fought the war in.

Just sent out a free post on the real meaning of the Trump-Zelensky press conference. Trump admitted he was trying to do Putin’s dirty work and force a bad ceasefire on Ukraine. And Zelensky refused to simply shut up and do what the enemies of freedom wanted. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

At last!

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

Im not sure the New York Post has yet made it to @bsky.app so worth posting this opinion piece slamming the latest cabinet picks - from a hugely invested/ Trump friendly paper
