What we witnessed was a political kidnapping of an elected official and I don't know what more to say than that.

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

The difference between one of the happiest societies, Norway and America is that in Norway they spend $300 million helping the homeless dude on the sidewalk, while in America they spend $300 million rebuilding Alcatraz. Do you get it yet?

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

This is for the people who are adamantly refusing to accept self diagnosis as valid... you are focusing way too hard on the wrong thing. Many of the people you are attempting to exclude ARE autistic... formal diagnosis or not.

The CRAZY thing nobody is talking about too is that nothing is ever gonna be cheap again. If corporations see that we’ll pay these elevated prices, they have no reason to not make those prices their baseline

Heads up: When you see a post from someone you agree with, but you are reluctant to “like” or share it, that is the opposite of resistance. It’s a fear based decision and obeying in advance. Shed the comfort zone. It’s where Democracy goes to die.

Trump is really out here asking SCOTUS to let Elon’s DOGE access Social Security??? They are not just coming for your check—they are coming for the whole damn system.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

There is nothing more anxiety inducing than KNOWING your brain functions differently, & are often labeled “difficult”, “immature”, or a “problem”, & not knowing how to “fix” yourself to make yourself acceptable to “normal” people. And acting “normal” when you’re autistic is fucking exhausting.

I still see people grappling with the idea that once we vote this out (assuming that can even happen) that there will be some new day for America and the thing is, even if we more or less manage to walk away from a crash landing, this is the rest of our lives.

It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’… But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil. Mind-boggling. 😎✨

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

I think autistic people are often mistaken for being argumentative or "needing to be right" when, in reality, it's more about FEELING right and needing the other person to understand why.
