BREAKING: Trump goes on a wild and unhinged rant spouting misinformation and easily debunked lies about autism. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So can Tylenol sue the government for this garbage?

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate. There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad. It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court will consider expanding Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning 90-year-old precedent.

Economic protests work

Fewer girls are playing sports after govt erected barriers for girls to play sports. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Trump just enacted the largest cuts to food assistance in history. Now he's cancelling the government survey that measures hunger in America.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

Republicans: "transgenderism must be eradicated." Trans people: "they're trying to eradicate us." Republicans: "Saying we want to eradicate you is violent extremism."

UPDATE: We now have a photo of the real Cory Zukatis, the homeless man found hanging from a tree in Vicksburg, Mississippi. There's also heartbreaking reporting from The Vicksburg Post: Zukatis was recently devastated after authorities took his dog from him and carried it to the pound. 1/3

The historian Kyle Harper talks with David Frum about the history of plagues, the rise of anti-vaccination politics, and why measles is back in America. Watch "The David Frum Show":

Posting Paul Newman at the March on Washington again - because … yeah.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/16/t... So, essentially Tik Tok will be controlled by The Trump administration, if it wasn’t already.

Bird flu cases have been confirmed in more than 1,000 herds nationwide since the virus was first found in dairy cows in March 2024.

all of this makes me want to scream, but the part I'm going to be up all night rage-spiraling about is accusing her of "potentially endangering the physical safety of our staff" just flippin' those narratives right around so the Black woman, a TARGET of violent hate speech, becomes the aggressor

Fun fact the puritans came here because they were SO FUCKING INSUFFERABLE no one in their own countries wanted them and now we get a real-time example of why at least once a day, that’s so special for us.

“The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of ‘corrosive ideology.’”

“COVID-19 can increase the risk for severe fungal infections, like COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and invasive candidiasis.” Oopsie www.cdc.gov/fungal/hcp/c...

Has anyone tried getting the new covid shot while on Medicaid?

How horrific & devastating to see Louisiana suffer one of the worst whooping cough outbreaks in recent history; it killed 2 infants in April. It's a deadly but vaccine-preventable illness. How horrific & devastating that Bill Cassidy voted for RFK Jr, extreme anti-vaxx activist, as HHS Secretary.

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Caused by bacteria on ticks & fleas for the most part. You saw it alot during WWII in the concentration camps & the ghettos the Nazis put the Jewish people into where it was able to spread Mostly it mimics COVID until the infection spreads. W/o antibiotics in time? Organ failure, coma, death.

New in PN: Kash's FBI is a mess "Patel and Bongino have carried out a purge partly in fear of being fired by Trump, & under the influence — and sometimes direction — of their social media followings. In fact, they're so focused on clout that it could be affecting the FBI’s ability to solve crimes."

Friends with younger children and siblings do six-year-old speak in complete sentences? Like if a six-year-old were to ask an adult, why didn't you eat? Would she say it like that or are they still mixing up language at that time? I don't remember being six. lol

adding alt text and a hearty fuck you to the older ladies at my gyno’s office who said there’s no way this could happen, why are you so concerned about scheduling your replacement IUD before the election ???

Many of us have been warning for years that drivers vs. everyone was the frontier of the culture war, and here we are. Republicans are now canceling pedestrian and bike safety grants.

Citing concerns about DEI, the Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?” By @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

And let us not forget that the government came and will find you mentally ill for ANY reason if it means putting you away or getting rid of you by any other means.

"Hundreds of thousands would lose benefits — and it would create a lot of red tape for the Social Security Administration, which administers SSI and is struggling with reduced staffing..." www.axios.com/2025/09/08/t...

This Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place.

My friend @corvingreene.bsky.social is not only facing cancer, but the college where they teach JUST informed them they won't be paid until October. That was not the understanding previously and they need help! Please share! #MutualAid #HelpSky gofund.me/430506745

Hard to say how this isn't willful murder at a population scale. Seniors with chronic respiratory conditions getting denied covid vaccines.

“My child is in the 2nd grade and can’t read” Ok. So whose fault is that?

Nbd Tylenol is like the only safe OTC painkiller for pregnant people, I'm sure it's fine to cause such a moral national panic about autism that will result in nonzero pregnant people suffering more than they actually have to while BRINGING NEW HUMAN LIFE INTO THIS WORLD LIKE THEY KEEP SAYING TO DO

Anyone who won't vaccinate their pets deserves a swift punch in the nuts

Do you have to wait an exact year to get a flu shot covered by insurance? I had one last November and I'm wondering if I should get it now or wait till November

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials. Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

This essentially is sending #autism discussions back sixty years back to the days when society blamed unloving mothers for their children becoming #ActuallyAutistic. It's going to inflict endless guilt among moms across the country. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

I somehow knew exactly where the hell this was going. And by God, I hope I get to teach one day.

Jesus Christ on a mountain bike...

I have never understood this language. Diseases don't go away we vaccinate them out of existence or we don't. The flu never "went away", and you thought Covid was going away?

Yes but will insurance cover them?

The Nazi early prohibition on Jews from owning guns has been an NRA talking point for decades.

I recently watched an episode of forensic files about a man who escaped the Nuremberg trials, came to America and became a priest after being a member of the iron guard in Germany so I need whatever doesn't allow that to happen.

Mask up, y'all! The mechanism seems to be that 1) you still have dormant cancer cells (DCCs) when you're in remission, 2) specific T cells keep DCCs dormant, 3) COVID makes those cells not do their job right, & 4) lets the DCCs become active cancer cells and metastasize. www.nih.gov/news-events/...

It's not even the fact that our government is being run by fascists which is sending me into a spiral, it's the fact that so many institutions which previously tried to at least feign disgust are leaning into the fascism this time.

A measure that would allow Texas residents to sue out-of-state abortion pill providers advanced to the desk of Gov. Greg Abbott Wednesday, setting the state up to be the first to try to crack down on the most common abortion method.

This is the last thing I'm saying on it because it's going to keep me up at night, but the Florida vaccine news is also related to the defunding/hatred of public schools. All this shit is connected.
