One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

“The current administration has made its Big Autism Announcement, and it is big, all right: a big, easily predicted steaming pile of bullsh**.” Details on the garbled ableist mercenary pseudoscience from @ejwillingham.bsky.social, in the latest TPGA newsletter: buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

autistic lives are beautiful and worth living on their own terms and if you require a demonstration of relatability from someone to determine that are a human being who deserves to live a rich and full life, it is you who is the monster

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Jimmy Kimmel may be returning to late night television soon, but his show will not air on nearly 70 ABC affiliate stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group or Nexstar Media Group.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Autism announcement: the moment we get together, do some shadow work, and break those generational curses, we become fucking lit. Magical ass beings. Act like you know because we do. #autizzy #autisticsky #autism

Great point

Things today's White House autism announcement did not do: -Discuss strategies to increase supports and services for autistic people/families -Highlight why autistic people and families deserve respect, not pity or fear -Endorse one speck of autism research that is not dangerous pseudoscience

Autistic humans are told to “self-regulate” - as if regulation is a solo project. But regulation is relational. We co-regulate in community, in positive spaces, in predictable rhythms. Stop treating connection as optional. It is survival.

I'm surprised NBC hasn't been forced to fire this journalist yet

Disabled people are not expendable Autistic people are not expendable We aren’t lazy, we didn’t choose this & aren’t getting a free ride. Disability is not a moral failing It happens to almost everyone eventually Join us & fight for disability justice Your future self will thank you

Please share this important information ‼️

A reminder, when enough of us boycott, it works, and can work quickly even. It is a spectacular example of the power of organizing. Yes, we can bring corporations to their ruin when we act together. Also, there is no need stop boycotting when the corporations are rotten at the core.

A very, very stupid man.

FUN FACT: Autism was first diagnosed at least 40 years before Tylenol was created.

*Marked safe from the rapture....

high fever (unlike Tylenol) is PROVEN to increase the risk of birth defects, generally congenital heart & jaw defects & Autistic people are fuckin' rad anyway ffs

SO NO ONE WAS GOING TO MENTION BLUES LEGEND B.B. KING IS 100 YEARS OLD? Birthday six days ago. 🙂

BRB, going to buy up the Tylenol at the corner store so that I can level up my autism 🏃🏾‍♀️😉🫠😏😤

@jtrebach.bsky.social : Thank you!

Autism isn’t “caused” by Tylenol. Or vaccines. Or anything. It’s inherited. It’s natural. It’s human. The hunt for a “cause” is just the hunt for someone to blame - and blame only makes sense if you think being autistic is bad. We’re not. But if you continue saying this shit, you are.

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child. RFK Jr. cut her entire division — yet promises to identify the causes of autism by September: https://propub.li/4nhXQua

Tylenol in pregnancy doesn’t cause autism. There isn’t an “epidemic of autism”. Autism is not the fault of the mother or the child. Whatever they announce tomorrow, it won’t be based in science or truth. Stay vigilant, follow the science and support the neurodivergent community.

Want some simple ways to resist fascism? Wear a mask. Donate to mutual aid. Go to a local library. Support community fridges and food banks. Plant a garden. Deliver groceries. Provide a ride to and from doctors appts. Participate in neighbourhood ICE watch. Show up for others.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

FUN FACT: There is no such thing as white American culture. None. There is only American culture, which is a mix of many cultures, but of which more than 50% is attributable directly to the contributions of Black Americans. What we watch, wear, eat, listen to, think is funny, find entertaining,

Autistic folx don’t owe it to non-autistic folx to explain every aspect of our lives to make them feel more comfortable. Basic.

Y'all better have remembered: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs06...

"I need all my traumatized neurodivergents to stop holding their life progress to a standard set by neurotypicals whose needs have always been met."

The White House is "gonna make a big autism announcement" tomorrow. We'll be delaying our usual Monday TPGA Newsletter publication until Tuesday, so that @ejwillingham.bsky.social can give that news the scrutiny it… deserves.

Very curious to see if this has a cooling effect on ICE activities. I’d sort of expect it to.

Faith over Fear. We ain’t going back!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

Is no one really gonna say anything about this 12ft tall golden fucking idol in front of the Capitol? What timeline are we living in?!

The head of Amnesty International says the U.S. is abusing its position as host of the United Nations in New York. "The United States is holding all of us hostage," says Agnès Callamard. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/18/amnesty_international
