Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭 #TamirRice #BlackLivesMatter #Pinks #SheShed

This would be the most compassionate (and efficient) (and logical) approach to helping our society. I recently saw, in the book "Is This Autism", the contrasting models of Medical vs Neurodiversity explained concisely in a chart:

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

🧵 I’m often asked why I feel RFK and MAHA are ignorantly & dangerously ableist. What are autism & disability micro-aggressions spewing from MAHA? Or are they macro & visible to the untrained eye? The autism-Tylenol press conference was a profoundly painful gut-punch for most in autistic community.

Monday’s press conference with President Trump, RFK, and other members of HHS leadership contained false and harmful information about autism, acetaminophen, and vaccines. Read our full statement in formal language and plain language here: autisticadvocacy.org/2025/09/asan...

The submission detailed Ofsted findings, tribunal rulings, and harrowing cases, including one child restrained 158 times, exposing systemic abuse, discrimination, and unsafe restraint of disabled children and the I paper investigation articles . We urged the EHRC to use its legal powers.

We warned them. They ignored it. Children continue to suffer. In April 2025, ICARS sent a 6-page evidence submission to the Equality and Human Rights Commission calling for an investigation into the Witherslack Group. A thread 🧵

I wrote a long thread with multi-threads attached over on the hell-scape. I’ll pull one together for Blue Sky and Spoutible, but I want to get this info out there.

Women, children and grown men wept today in fields of tear gas. They ran for their freedom and for their lives. Those that tried to stand up ran from the gasses. Elderly and children ran through fields of tear gas. Betrayed by their own country.

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City. Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

@bluegal.bsky.social @driftglass.bsky.social You guys always see everything before me, but in case not, here’s a chilling one…Read the Wired piece first.

🧵 1/9 The FDA, under RFK, has now quietly removed a warning against Chlorine Dioxide (bleach as an alt treatment for disease) from FDA site. Bleachers push bleach enemas for autistic kids. wired.com/story/chlorine… Bleachers are Ready for RFK Jr. to Make Their Dreams Come True.

Nothing worse than circular firing squads. I have no use for liberals who spend their time trashing liberals. We have a Mad King over the most powerful military in human history, but some are too busy trashing fellow liberals for not being perfect. Hot take: You’re a useful idiot for the Mad King.

We’ve been saying for YEARS they’re coming for Medicaid/CHIP. Can’t tell ya how many people called me a paranoid commie for saying they intend to KlLL Medicaid & CHIP, death by 10,000 cuts. GOP have denied it for years. 1.2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid & CHIP: part of the continuum of killing both.

You know how the right hates it when anyone from Hollywood shares their political beliefs? Well, let’s call Fox News what it really is, a bunch of New York actors pretending to be journalists.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

I deactivated my Twitter account and I’m happy about it.

ACLU just filed a new nationwide class-action suit challenging Trump’s EO against birthright citizenship in response to today’s ruling that potentially opens door for partial enforcement of the EO. The RW long term goal is to de-fang the 14thA. They want to kill all federal anti-discrimination laws

“None of this is normal” A sampling of all the times over the past 10 years journalists & others have resorted that phrase 👇🧵

Boycotting large chains is a privilege. Protesting is a privilege. Moving States or countries is a privilege. Prepping is a privilege. Growing your own food is a privilege. Stockpiling meds is a privilege. Far too many of the “solutions” to fascism are inaccessible to many disabled people.

One easy way to know if you should support cuts to Medicaid is to ask yourself if you want your nearest hospital to be open or closed next time you need it. Then repeat the question substituting “Emergency Department,” “Trauma Center,” “Stroke Center,” “Cardiac Cath Lab,” etc.

I still can't get over how a group of trans women did a topless protest against the segregation of trans people, and the "Gender Criticals" are convinced that some of the protesters are cis because of how they look You couldn't write a better argument. Unbelievable

As Trump proposes $5 billion to kickstart school choice vouchers, the real choice we're worried about is his pick to regulate special education nationwide.👇Call us crazy, but this isn't the "hands-on" learning we'd opt for if given a choice. @altdepted.bsky.social #HandsOffAutism #ROAR #AltCitizen

Diana Diaz-Harrison will likely run Special Education under Tr**p. She is an ABA therapy supporter, & her autism schools have used the dangerous disciplinary practice of restraint and seclusion on students at an unusually high rate. By @bethhawkins.bsky.social: www.the74million.org/article/trum...

I can’t believe I agree with him for once but this is why he should resign.

so he’s worked up about this, but not about children hospitalized and dying of an absolutely preventable infectious disease

Hassan grills RFK Jr about HHS still employs David Geier and he *IS NOT* happy about her line of questioning, which he calls "defamatory"

Senator Hassan is such a baddie.💅A mother of a boy with autism testified that Geier falsified ultrasound test results for her son that never occurred down to fabricated measurements of his liver.🧐Here's Hassan's letter that RFK Jr. "my bad" ignored tinyurl.com/nt2sh628 #ROARLikeAMother

You might be wondering who we are and, more importantly, how we type with paws. As parents of children on the autism spectrum, some of us looked forward to hibernating these next 4 years. Alas, this administration's acute interest in our cubs has lured us out of our caves to ROAR!

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo
