When this is a pair of animals, it’s called a cloacal kiss

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences." After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.

Supplements, diets, herbals, & acupuncture, oh my—none of them are useful for autistic people. That’s according to an analysis of 53 already extended analyses of “complementary & alternative medicine” (CAIM) interventions for autistics. Per @ejwillingham.bsky.social: buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

Steven catches a federal prosecutor for ICE, who missed work temporarily after he was caught, by Steven, fantasizing about owning slaves, et similia, et cetera, now back on the job a year later. And here he is doing presumably some important stuff.

None of these people should be able to work in our industry again

Said it once and I'll say it again: There is a reason genXers who aren't cis white bros were so fucking angry all the time

Autism myths "perpetuate harm well beyond ABA & eugenics. They cast their shadow on to broader public health through bad actors who leverage fears arising from these fictions to scare people away from lifesaving vaccines." @ejwillingham.bsky.social in our newsletter: buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

Summary execution is not new as a punishment for women who are not sufficiently respectful to men but it’s new for a sitting president to endorse it, I guess

Just realizing now that we are of an age that if my husband put on his outfit and I put on hers, we could actually re-create this picture with a high level of verisimilitude.

Throwback to a DM from a total stranger 9 years ago. The answers to all of these questions were right there in the simplest Google search. But "have a great day and go fuck yourself" is *chef's kiss* I gotta say

The Autism Industrial Complex (AIC) is those who actively profit off autistic people—but lack interest in autistic welfare. It includes (academic) behaviorists, some non-autistic parents, psychologists/psychiatrists, & ofc Autism Speaks. By @ejwillingham.bsky.social: buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >

Call your House representatives first thing Monday morning to demand a new vote for Democratic leadership to get rid of Hakeem Jeffries. I’m going to tell my rep to vote for AOC. Call your senators to tell them to get rid of Schumer. I suggest Chris Murphy.

"Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" This video was filmed yesterday in St. Louis Park, MN — a nearby suburb of Minneapolis. I do not know the person who filmed it, but this incident is very clear and terrifying example of what has been happening here over the past week or so.

Multnomah Country, Oregon, has posted warnings to residents that ICE agents are impersonating utility workers. You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

This is a time for 1000s of mass meetings across the country to specifically address ICE & Border Patrol actions. 1. We need standardized agendas. 2. We need standardized teach ins - with local specificities. 3. We need mass meetings to happen in the same month. 4. Local officials must attend.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly: ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.
