Last night in LA… Nightmare fuel on a freeway wall.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - UN secretary-general says statehood for the Palestinians "is a right, not a reward."

Autistic people speak for their own community. Non-autistic parents of autistic kids are adjacent to the community, but they're not *the* community. Interviewing a disabled parent of disabled kids is always a good perspective, though.

love getting an emergency alert about an armed suspect near campus as people are leaving night classes /s

ICE is still out here at Broadview firing pepper balls at protesters. Some folks just got hit pretty bad. Air out here is awful and people are retching.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Trump: "Finally, to help reach the ultimate goal of ending the autism..." Their goal is very clear.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

The train grandpas married collectible grandmas and here we are...

If you have a GOP Congressperson not named Massie, MTG, Mace, or Boebert, today is a good day to call them to tell them to be on the right side of history on the Epstein dispatch petition. Don't wait for Adelita Grijalva to win tomorrow! [They won't, but still good to remind them.]

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

Autistic advocates and researchers: please be in my email inbox [email protected] to share what type of autism research could actually be helpful instead of trying to "eliminate autism"

Last time I taught my Supreme Court seminar (back around 2017), cert before judgment was so rare that I could casually from memory list all the modern examples and explain why those were reasonable exceptions.

Hello #actuallyautistic population! I am working on a sex ed for the autistic population workshop and the one bothersome aspect of nearly every piece of research and every curriculum that I’ve been able to analyze is that autistic aren’t at the FOREFRONT! So if you’d like to review the curriculum 1/

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

not loving how fast the r-slur came back from the grave where it belonged

That part (I’m still not resubscribing)

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.

We are so beyond fucked

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

There is only one way to resolve this. RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I’m here for this

had a ton of fun working on this poll with @today.yougov.com about the songs that everybody knows the lyrics to, the generational anthems are super neat www.numlock.com/p/numlock-su...

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

It's 12:20 PM EST on September 22nd and Fox News has yet to address on-air the recent reports that their former contributor and current White House border czar Tom Homan accepted a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents as part of a corruption investigation.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

Poland's statement to Russia at the UN. "If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or 'by mistake', and gets shot down, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned." ~AA

People will hate an entire group of people instead of going to therapy

+ for pregnant people, acetaminophen is one of the few safe options for reducing fevers and managing pain. Pregnant people should not face misogynistic and ableist "mother blame" for managing their pain and addressing symptoms associated with infections (fever)

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day for many autistic people. The report on itself is bad, but so is the language we're going to see officials use to describe autism.

Reminder for new followers

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

These are the real ones out in the tear gas making sure protesters aren't disappeared. Please support today:

The one surefire way to get people to stop saying mean things about you is to send out a press release, insisting that they stop saying mean things about you. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

the @nlgchicago.bsky.social condemns the “violent actions” of ice/border patrol on friday outside the broadview detention center. in a statement, nlg says feds targeted protesters w/o provocation & sent 2 people to the hospital. 10 people arrested. some were let go miles away behind a gas station.

The screen addicted kids have terrible parents. There I said it. My kid read a book, did a puzzle, and built Legos while we watched 2 back-to-back football games last night. Did not even touch her tablet. If you’re gonna have the screens, monitor them. Set limits. Be firm in those boundaries. They

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)
