A 🧵 with poem on RFK, Jr.'s indifference to human beings on the autism spectrum. Read the poem in the first or last post of the thread, your choice.

Amidst the blizzard of disturbing news this month, Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s remarks on autism stand out as some of the more frightening parts. (1/6)
Keep taking a chance and talking to strangers. There is some good news out there. My latest substack post.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

At the very least we are called to witness injustice in the world so that people know the truth and so that corrections (and accountability) can be forthcoming. His name was Alex Pretti, and he only the most recent victim of ICE. Not the first. And not the last unless we act.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

It’s a good day when you can shut down Home Depot because they’re so afraid of peaceful anti-ICE protesters.

Less than a mile where George Floyd was killed, ICE agents murdered a U.S. Citizen in cold blood.

Every member of Congress who does not call for the resignation or impeachment of ICE Barbie Kristi Noem is complicit.

Silence in the face of violence is approval.
