Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

I will post this forever, there are so many who’ve never heard the vocals… youtu.be/3WDtR4UQ2io #raveyardshift

ā€œThey were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had madeā€¦ā€ -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Hillsborough Law is important for scandals like Windrush, Post Office, Grenfell too. @inquest-org.bsky.social does brilliant work listening to people affected. Starmer must not go back on such an important promise to people who have suffered huge injustice. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Keir Starmer has played a blinder this weekend. After the shameful event at the WH there is no doubt Zelensky will have renewed hope tonight. Add to that Starmer gathered a large number of world leaders to work together on trying to find a peace deal. Real leadership from a real leader šŸ™‚

Zelenskyy is greeted with a warm hug by Starmer and crowds of supporters in the street, he is then given full assurance that he is supported for as long as it takes. That is precisely what we all needed to see after the despicable and ugly scenes yesterday.

I don't give a fuck about being labelled woke or a lefty or a righty or an innie or a fucking outie. I'm pro humanity and the beautiful things people do for each other. I'm pro love, no matter the creed, colour or gender that you are or wanna be or used to be. I'm pro human kindness. Goodnight. MKšŸ’œ
