this is why you don’t give him the sixteen million dollars in the first place, it tells him he owns you forever now

this exact dynamic - where trump says or does something awful, everyone spends days downplaying it, and then he loudly doubles down - has played out roughly 7000 times and it’s why I have exactly zero patience for anyone who tries to sanitize his nonsense

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

Brb gonna turbo charge my 'tism and get all the types by combining different types of tylenol. I'm trying for the "good at coding" autism, anyone got any tips?

NBC News projects: Democrat Adelita Grijalva wins the special election for Arizona House District 7. Grijalva will bring the important 218th signature to the chamber's Epstein files discharge petition — forcing Mike Johnson to handle a fight that has divided his conference.

Sorry but it's hilarious that he's absolutely calling ABC out for being bitchmade for his earlier shakedown and telling them he's gonna do it again. He even says "they gave me". Lol. Not even "they were forced to pay."

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

Kimmel comes out of the gate with a Tylenol joke

A friendship that lasted several times longer than the Confederacy

You can't take this statue down it's our heritage

Did... did he just admit the government was involved in Jimmy Kimmel's firing...?

Must read 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Exactly this. All of it.

Kimmel bringing Robert de Niro on to step back into the mafioso shoes and mock the FCC while taking a potshot at the Tylenol and autism bullshit was an inspired choice that was the BEST move he could've done. The crack about Atlantic City was just *chef's kiss*

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

good job chat we successfully bullied a major corporation to the point that the late night host they canned is making jokes about it in his return monologue american fascism versus the cancel subscription button: who will win

Okay I'll tell a quick story. A million years ago, I used to write for Esquire's website. I wrote a nice thing about Jimmy Kimmel that was almost certainly illegible trash. He then followed me on Twitter and, ever the Weird Twitter purveyor, invited me to meet him after a show after a goofy tweet.

Welp, I guess it's time to relaunch our 2018 "Reproduction Causes Autism" t-shirt campaign—because anyone claiming otherwise is selling something, and/or holding a major US government position. Proceeds to benefit @autisticadvocacy.org. www.bonfire.com/reproduction... #autism #neurodiversity

just bought myself another 3hrs paying what I had but we’re still $235 short to stay housed ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

You're still spouting rhetoric that gets autistic kids killed by their parents. "Stem the rising tide of autism" you're still framing it as something awful, you absolute fucking worthless pieces of shit. WE ARE NOT SOMETHING TO BE ERADICATED.

ty to the friend who sent $10! going to round that to $340 left with about an hour and 15 minutes to go 😵‍💫😵‍💫 can anyone else match $10?

ty to the friend who sent $1! that’s $369 (nice) left with 1 1/2 hours to go, tho if I get close they might be able to extend my deadline

I’m now live on YouTube and Twitch chatting with @franifio.bsky.social about my campaign, the craziness of the world, and whatever pops into our minds! Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/AzdWJm-...

Look I do not believe in a higher power but the escalator going "Nah, you're not going up to ANYTHING" is making me reconsider that stance 😂

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

still stuck at $375 with only two hours left, and we’re in a severe weather warning - can anyone match $20 or $30? 🥲 ko-fi.com/katimcf venmo.com/u/katiwithoutthee

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Just deal with people being different than you.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

I relate to Rex on a deep level so I had to use him to make this. Rex is best weird-brain boy.

i feel like there's a template out there but i couldn't find it so here's a quick "i'm joining the war on autism on the side of the autism" overlay (w/ transparency). for actual transparency download from here: nyoom.neocities.org/sandbox/auti... (based on @autismsupsoc.bsky.social's iterations)

i am gesturing at the democrats as well as the republicans when i stare straight into your eyes and ask you if you're tired of these freaks being in charge of you yet

Awesome I love it when libs do solidarity like "how much Tylenol did Trump's mom take haha get it Trump is autistic which is bad like how he's fat and gay and has incontinence and when fat gay incontinent autistics say "idk if this is ideal praxis and rhetoric" I will tell them to enjoy the camps"

Welp. They have their Hitler Youth now.

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

ty to the friend who sent $20! that’s $375 to go with a bit over 3 hours left to stay housed

The cult of civility is best understood through this lens.

PBS doing Gods work here www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

"well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides" is the most gasp-inducingly ruthless thing I've ever seen in Interviewer Boldface, and I can't believe this guy just went "yeah lol"

This man's face is sending me. That is the face of someone who's judging him so hard and tbh I'm right there with him.

Cw filicide I think some reporters really need to learn about the Disabled Day of Mourning. Some parents of autistic kids despise them so much they kill them. This is how deadly ableism (and lack of social supports) can be. Our articles do not need to feed into ableism.

fascism getting you down? ask your local trans about the wonders of dissociation. try dissociation - today!

I'm glad for this, and I hope they fuck them over deeply, because rural health care has suffered in Pennsylvania because of these greedy, authoritarian-collaborating assholes.

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

go fuck yourselves @politico.com

I KNOW some of you are sitting there in front of the screen all shrimp-shaped and hunched over, do your shoulders and back a favor and stretch. Knots in muscles are NO joke.

following charlie kirk's death and the right's open embrace of cancel culture, the gamergate 2.0 mob has kicked its efforts into overdrive, targeting dozens of devs and personalities. this has resulted in an avalanche of harassment, but relatively few firings compared to the 100+ in other sectors

This is how states start testing the waters with age verification: It's just a porn site! Surely this can't apply to me!

Can confirm this was our experience with both kids on our "good" health insurance that we also paid $500+ in monthly premiums for. Hospital actually wanted to collect payment before I gave birth! 🫠 They billed $15k-$20k per birth, we paid our out of pocket max of $3k per birth.

Releasing some Patreon comics over the next few days.
