Black&Brown children with special needs are often adultified or punished for developmentally appropriate behavior. I’m here to show up with empathy and patience, because our kids deserve to be seen as kids. #ParaLife #DisabilityAdvocate #RepresentationMatters #SpecialEducationSupport

When children with autism engage in head banging, it is often a sign of distress. These behaviors can stem from frustration and/or sensory overload. Safe adults have empathy. Safe adults provide support by modeling calming strategies, which helps children learn to regulate in healthier ways.

Scientists have unearthed a new species of dinosaur — known as Duonychus — in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.

My grandmother marched with MLK. My grandparents had bricks thrown through their windows, with death threats attached, for supporting him and his message. They taught me to always stand up for what is right, no matter the cost. If we stay silent, we contribute to injustice.

If you do ANY kind of social media work and want to learn about best practices for disinformation countering, as well as learn some fascinating history with amusing/infuriating case studies in how bad actors gain traction, read @noupside.bsky.social's Invisible Rulers: bookshop.org/p/books/invi...

They're the same picture.

This is happening in US. This is not Russia, China or Turkey. It is happening in Main Street USA under a criminal regime masquerading as a presidential administration. Great article by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy Sunday 😊♾️

President Trump gathers a who's who of Christian nationalist in the Oval Office for a photo-op, blending politics with his performative piety. The White House is for all Americans, not just religious zealots.

From salamanders and salmon to bears and mountain lions, David Herasimtschuk's images illustrate not only the beauty of the forests and their creatures but the symbiotic relationships that are vital to the forests’ health and the planet’s welfare.

Trump eliminates the Department of Education. The damaged child inside Trump's brain crows, "At last, revenge is mine!" Please share. They're free! #DepartmentOfEducation #DOE #Trump #ExecutiveOrder

SpaceX is a hoax. Starlink is surveillance. Teslas are dangerous. X is a psyop. Elon Musk is a Nazi.

I am a grandchild of grandparents who were forbidden from getting library cards, who didn't have libraries they could visit. We celebrate libraries, celebrate one another. We celebrate togetherness ✨ We can't keep moving backwards 💔 Our only hope is marching forward, together 💛 🧵 2/2

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

ICE is sweeping up people without criminal records who are in ongoing legal immigration processes. The people described in this USA Today story "felt comfortable enough boarding a domestic flight," and were detained in PR and the US Virgin Islands www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

Today in Hell Yes, Research! The “social deficit” model of autism is based on non-autistic people interacting with autistic people. When autistic people interact with each other—even in groups—they tend to get along. From Foster, Ackerman, and Sasson: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #autism

For well over a decade, the funding for autism research by Congress, had the euphemism of Autism CURES. American tax dollars went into genetic research to find the cause and find a cure. This is what is called eugenics. Decades later, we are back to vaccines causing autism and eugenics.

This is insanity

I made a very short documentary about Elon Musk’s fascination with certain symbols. I hope you will share it with anyone who may still be confused.

March 14 is a striking date in scientific history: it marks the birth of Albert Einstein in 1879 and the death of Stephen Hawking in 2018. Their legacies remind us of the power of the human mind, and that science is the gateway to understanding the universe. #HumanistHeritage

Vaccines have NOTHING to do with autism, despite RFK Jr.'s HHS pressuring the CDC to investigate this robustly debunked idea. We've updated our article on how to be pro-vaccine without harming autistic people. Pls read & share, if you can: thinkingautismguide.com/2014/07/bust... #VaccinesSaveLives

Trump Renames Eric ‘Eric Of America’

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Democrats the minute they see a poll showing 51% support for Al Green

MSNBC just called Rep. Al Green's censure "an embarrassing mark on his record." Maybe MSNBC thinks Rosa Parks' arrest was an embarrassing mark on hers.

The stakes are just too high.
