Seattle, Washington I research things and write about them (as a hobby) and I volunteer a lot. Opinions are my own. Trans rights are human rights. AuDHD, antifascist, nonbinary, anti-tankie, atheist. Not a spy or a fed or gov affiliated.

"What truly 'destroys' families of autistic children is lack of support and understanding. Many navigate daily challenges without access to therapies, respite or appropriate education. These families are being failed by systems that make them fight for every bit of help." people.com/my-son-and-i...

"Claims that Autism is 'preventable' is not supported by scientific consensus and perpetuate stigma ... Language framing Autism as a 'chronic disease,' a 'childhood disease' or 'epidemic' distorts public understanding and undermines respect for Autistic people."

It was disturbing to be in court today. As I wrote: [I]n an alarming sign for LGBTQ people, it was clear that at least three of the justices believe that describing queer people accurately — acknowledging their equal existence — amounts to taking sides or trying to “influence” children.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

“He has simply disappeared,” said a friend. “I have not heard of a disappearance like this in my 40-plus years of practicing and teaching immigration law.,” said one law prof. “This case represents a black hole where due process no longer exists." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

Who could have guessed that cozying up to a fascist would harm the business interests of a man whose company sold cars to mostly left-leaning, environmentally-conscious consumers

My favorite MAGA argument right now is, "If we give everyone due process, we'll never be able to deport 12 million people." True! Also true: If we give everyone due process, we'll never be able to kill all left-handed people. If your plan requires suspension of due process, your plan is bad!

No shit.

Always be suspicious of people who are aggressively critical of leftists who say that capitalism is incompatible with democracy but not when people on the right say it.

"It's impossible to commit ... to an economy that is unstable and unknowable."

Anyone can die from a virus or disease. ANYONE. To believe you’re invincible is ableist and eugenicist.

Literally all it would take would be a letter: “Dear Bukele, can you please send him back.” There is little doubt that Bukele would send him back, because Bukele doesnt want to be held responsible for this guy. Trump wont do it.

In case there is anyone left still drinking Sbux despite the many reasons for boycotting it. If genocide wasn't enough, maybe, I dunno, this will make you care.

Trump Announces Seal Team 6 Killed U.S. Protester In Daring Overnight Raid

Detained for his political opinions (so much for free speech) and denied the chance to see the birth of his first child. The cruelty is the point.

I can’t believe this is real but I want to believe it is. 🤭 🍁

Starmer is a bigot and transphobe.

🚨The eugenicist is making a list of autistic people🚨 RFK Jr is using data from insurers, pharmacies, labs, health devices to create a list of autistic Americans I unequivocally condemn this illegal action which will endanger the lives of autistic Americans. I encourage colleagues to file suit.

This would be disastrous.

When I lived in Northern Virginia and being bullied, someone had used an obscure internet handle my brother had used on a dating website to harass me further, contacted my actual family in order to engineer a "suicide by cop" situation and the same shit libs looked the other way.

RFK wants to start his autism registry. A huge red flag to those of you not paying attention. Indeed, they aren't new in the US - NJ and Utah have them off the top of my head. And they aren't a good thing. A similar idea to RFK's was attempted in the UK and halted. We must fight.

Good riddance.

I love all the calls to go vegan in the replies, as if under Biden the FDA didn’t have the whole fiasco where they refused to notify people about E. coli in lettuce

Saw someone post that Stancil rejects how material conditions were responsible for the french revolution and what I think is going on in there is how a lot of leftist criticism of liberals makes liberals act weird as it forces them to reconcile paradoxical stances.

Hey, does anyone remember when like a thousand US intelligence people claimed to be "microwaved", congress payed out, and, well, what's the sanitized unclassified narrative? Anyway that dynamic could be influencing our political situation?

RFK's "autism registry" is a list of people to murder.

"DHS did not respond when the Phoenix asked whether the arresting trooper had federal authorization to act as an immigration official. Approximately 1,400 troopers have completed 40 hours of training to question and arrest people they suspect are in the country without authorization."

It's going to be tough convincing someone else to become Secretary of Defense now that the office reeks of Axe Body Spray, cheap gin and failure.

Sort of saw this as inevitable as Democrats began cozying up to Palantir execs. Anything that puts more money in Thiel's pockets is a vote for Yarvin.

So Harvard is promoting and supporting a literal known techno fascist and the architect of the fascist, anti human future musk and the techno fascists are attempting to force us into accepting. Yarvin is a Nazi and Harvard is supporting his views by allowing this talk to happen.

You can tell the anti-DEI movement is not about meritocracy, but about racism. Imagine asking Jesus (a brown Palestinian Jew) to ensure the next Pope is a white guy, and by default declaring that anyone non-white cannot be a good righteous Pope. It's not God you believe in, it's white supremacy.

“By the time I get down to El Salvador next month, I want to be able to report back to his wife [and] kids that their dad is okay,” Ivey wrote on X, ... “The government of the United States or El Salvador should not stand in the way of me doing a welfare check on my constituent.”
