I just need a third corrupt government official to bribe someone with a food bag and I can pitch

The thing is, being autistic doesn't need to be "stopped" or "cured" or further demonized. The entire conversation is wrong.

I’m really not looking forward to how whatever the administration announces will be used to dehumanize autistic people even further. If they really cared about autistic people, they’d be doing what is necessary to support those of us who are living rather trying to prevent our existence.

As a mom, I have been getting targeted with Facebook ads for these Tylenol lawsuits for years. I had to mark each and every one as offensive to get them off my timeline

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day for many autistic people. The report on itself is bad, but so is the language we're going to see officials use to describe autism.

you can be a little petty, as a treat

I took my youngest to one of those bonkers indoor playgrounds that play nothing but Kidz Bop and are stuffed with arcade games and he is *too charming* because I didn't give him any tokens and yet he has somehow done at least three activities that require tokens and won a stuffed alien

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

❗️RFK Jr. wants to link Tylenol use during pregnancy with autism, despite the best evidence saying otherwise. Here’s why this is a dangerous claim...🧵

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

WSJ is unable to find anyone to quote who thinks this is a good idea: “Trump Administration Cancels Annual Hunger Survey” www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

This is going to present a MASSIVE problem to our healthcare system in the immediate present and ongoing future. There are thousands of IMGs living and working as nurses, physicians and APPs as well as in allied healthcare that are here on H1B visas. You think it’s hard to find care now?

So much taxpayer money "is being quietly handed over in a desperate, continuing, endless quest by Kennedy to destroy one of the greatest public health successes in human history just so he find some way to keep autistic people from existing." @ejwillingham.bsky.social in the latest TPGA newsletter:

NEW: A federal judge said today that she’s “inclined” to order the Trump administration to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA grants, the bulk of the remaining grant suspensions at the Westwood campus: www.latimes.com/world-nation...

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

I have only half-watched "Coraline," but from what I can gather the moral of the story is that even if your parents are kind of distracted, short-tempered and bad at cooking, they are better than creepy perfect demon parents 10/10 message, no notes

Narciso Barranco was the man I spoke to in the heinous Downtown LA basement where ICE continues to hold individuals in abusive conditions. This powerful article describes his life in the U.S. - both before & after his abduction. His story is both intensely personal & universal.

Everything I need to know about parenting I learned from the children's classic "Flap Your Wings"

Sen. Bill Cassidy: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expected you to change the childhood vaccine schedule, despite a lack of science or data to support that move? Former CDC Director Susan Monarez: "Correct."

ah, well

Well, I think we have confirmed that the revolution will not be televised

Susan Monarez, the CDC director for 29 days, said RFK Jr. Kennedy told her “the childhood vaccine schedule would be changing starting in September, and I needed to be on board with it”. My story, with updates to come as this Senate hearing continues: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Of course they did

“The study found that about 7% of US adults have been present at the scene of a mass shooting in their lifetime, and more than 2% have been injured during one.”

how attractive was Robert Redford? in college, a lesbian friend said approvingly of another queer woman on campus that she "looked like Robert Redford"

Brian Kilmeade stated homeless individuals who are resisting mental health treatment should be given "involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill ’em." This weekend, there was a mass shooting of a homeless encampment. It barely made a blip on the news. www.startribune.com/shooting-sou...

There’s a rumor that Kennedy’s revised, biased ACIP will move hepatitisB age up to 4, creating real access issues to parents that want to to protect babies and setting babies up for lifelong harm. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Yeah, I'm going to need people to stop asking for RSVPs to protests critical of the government

Autism isn’t a “tragedy”. The tragedy is how autistic humans are treated. Debunk junk science without throwing us under the bus. Fight misinformation and fight ableism together. This doesn’t mean our lives are easy. They aren’t. The true tragedy is the lack of support for us.

It's Baby Safety Month.

“Being autistic does not mean being inhuman. But it means that what is normal for other people is not normal for me, and what is normal for me is not normal for other people,” -Jim Sinclair, quoted in #NeuroTribes #autism #autistic #neurodiversity

his memoir is terrific, by the way
