Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

In a highly unusual move, the Food and Drug Administration reapproved a drug on Monday that stopped being sold more than 25 years ago, part of a push from the Trump administration to identify the causes of and potential treatments for autism. www.statnews.com/2025/09/22/f... via @statnews.com

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner! “The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”

Lots to love if this holds for CA crops: -utility-scale solar that doesn't require wrecking desert habitat -less water use, probably less dust -more options for siting close to existing transmission -on-site generation for switching diesel pumps to electric and cleaning up the air

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

Wait until the Conservative Catholics on the Court have doctrinal disputes with the Conservative Evangelicals. It will get ugly, they both believe they're the only "true" religion.

As John Oliver said so well, the only way to stand up to a bully is to say: “Fuck you. Make me.”

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Not sure if this photo from a late 2010s Turning Point USA event is relevant to this story or not, but here it is anyway.

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

It sure looks like he wanted to kill that woman when he chased her down and put her in a chokehold as she tried to walk away. It sure looks like he would have if his colleagues hadn’t pulled him off her.

“Domestic violence is 2­-4 times more common among police families than American families in general.”

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

Screengrabs from when his mask was down, on Fox News of all places

A LOT of these guys joined ICE, etc., specifically to beat the shit out of immigrants and protesters. And statistics tell us anyone willing to behave this way in front of witnesses and news cameras has probably beaten domestic partners too.

extremely rich for Alito to say Trump is “someone who has discretion to enforce the law” and “should be enforcing the law with mercy” while Alito is literally and regularly helping Trump skirt the law to ruin people's lives simply because they want to and they can www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/w...

American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

Fun fact: GWAR spoke out against the defunding of orgs like PBS. Lead singer Mike Bishop, who holds a PhD in music, stopped in the middle of a show to point out that defunding public institutions is horrible and said it'd lead to worse. Dude was not wrong.

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

Evil corrupt shit corp “Sinclair Will Not Air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Upon ABC Return Tuesday: The broadcaster, which has demanded an apology and Turning Point USA donation from the late-night host, will replace the time slot with local news programming”

“… by far the largest study included in the analysis — the one that covered 2.5 million children in Sweden; the next largest study involved 73,000 children across Europe — concluded there was no link between Tylenol and autism after controlling for confounding factors.”

The suspected gunman in Saturday's shooting at a country club in Nashua, N.H. appeared virtually in court on Monday and his arraignment was waived.

Corrupt cons on the court started this trend for Trump, the most corrupt con president ever. Will likely end the trend for the next non-con president. Expand the court. Impeach Alito and Thomas for corruption.

This is the main reason that medical journals cannot trust the articles submitted accurately reflect research done by the authors.

That is incredibly bizarre. The high prices for drugs and other innovations that patent monopolies allow companies to charge are the basis for most of the corruption we see in health science.

NEWS: @democracyforward.org has filed a FOIA requesting the DOJ & FBI to release the recording of Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan allegedly pocketing $50K from undercover agents

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

SCOTUS’s right-wing majority is handing Trump control of agencies that are meant to be independent and nonpartisan. They are using the shadow docket to rubber-stamp his authoritarian agenda. This is not how our democracy is meant to function. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

“The world is riddled with [Magats], the [Magats] are getting fat” youtube.com/watch?v=OLkP... Chumbawumba live in 2000, singing The Day the Nazi died — long before traitor Trump got the nom in 2016, longer before a groyper shot Maga bigot Charlie Kirk. Release the Epstein files, KKKash Patel.

While bigot Charlie Kirk was alive and running a ‘non-profit’, he “amassed a net worth of about $12 million … As CEO of Turning Point USA, Kirk’s salary increased from $27,000 in 2016 to more than $407,000 in 2021”

Murdoch is vile like Trump, but “This case calls out for dismissal,” they wrote, calling Trump’s lawsuit “an affront to the First Amendment” and an attempt to “silence a newspaper for publishing speech that was subsequently proven true by documents released by Congress to the American public.”

“It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy: Trump’s prosecution order to Bondi gives up the pretense. And the country is headed swiftly into unknown territory.” @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

“An estimated 42% of U.S. farm workers are undocumented. Deporting them could result in a widespread labor shortage, resulting in higher prices, and shortages of essentials that American consumers rely on.” These human beings should have legal status and protection from abuse by Maga Trump farmers.

Trump can’t pronounce “Acetaminophen”, while claiming without evidence that Tylenol causes Autism www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s...

Chad Felix Greene; Republican Asshole who happens to be gay www.reddit.com/r/MurderedBy... Voting Republican is an antisocial choice made by assholes. Adults should know better, and if they don’t, that’s their problem, and they make it everyone else’s, too.

Wait … Charlie Kirk’s family sold merch ahead of his funeral? Wasn’t he worth $12 million? Who else benefitted from this ghoulish act? www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

“… some presidents get rid of officials for being corrupt; this president forced out Siebert for not being corrupt.” Trump had nominated Siebert. He then nominated Lindsey Halligan, an insurance lawyer with no prosecution experience, to the Senate-confirmed position. Maga Republicans eat shit.

“Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, described Epstein … as a “supreme friend” despite his conviction for sex offenses. The email … was sent by the duchess — the former wife of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York — in 2011, just weeks after she had publicly distanced herself from Epstein.”

Republicans are Greedy Selfish filth, loudly protesting stripping out tax breaks for billionaires so poor people can access healthcare. Note the smirk on the human garbage with the gavel.

Lots of people who would never otherwise have tuned in to Jimmy Kimmel will tune in on Tuesday. It will be the most listened-to monologue of his career. Good luck, man! Say something memorable. Celebrate your newly restored First Amendment rights by putting them to good use.

“Congress, as everyone agrees, prohibited each of those presidential removals,” Kagan wrote. “Yet the majority, stay order by stay order, has handed full control of all those agencies to the President.” These shitbag cons elevate Wilhoit’s Law over the Constitution. Illegitimate and reprehensible.
