Shaheen took my friend's heartfelt video and put her office's message and logo at the end
& then she caved last night
Using Amanda as a mouthpiece & then voting the way you did is despicable, Jeanne
Amanda MAY REALLY NOT SURVIVE losing healthcare

I don’t take promises from Trump or Republicans in Congress anymore. I’m no fool.

Imo, this is a huge barrier to communication.
Autists tend to give ppl the benefit of the doubt. We’ll assume you mean what you’re saying. That’s why we get accused of being too literal, or naïve.
Allistics tend to re-interpret what others say. No assumption of good faith; no benefit of the doubt.

One way Autistic people can be misunderstood is when we’re trying to be very thoughtful w/ our words under stress
Some of us stumble
Some of us go blank
Some of us have scripts locked & ready to go
we don’t want to be misunderstood
They can misinterpret our thoughtfulness with intent to deceive

I think part of the problem, a big part, is that a lot of people see this as a problem of the past.
But what are we doing, right now, that looks exactly the same? Have we really asked ourselves *why* Trump wants to starve people?
Settler society *causes* scarcity, then vilifies the victims of it.

When the Native Religious Freedom Act was passed, Native traditional practices that prioritized giving back, redistributing wealth within community (like giveaway ceremonies, potlucks) became illegal. Just so colonizers could position themselves as altruistic saviors of charity & non profits.

All these are reasons it's important for all settler "allies" to really do the work on their internalized classism / anti Indigenous mindsets. Anti Indigenous reclamation of memory works in direct collaboration with the rise of fascism.

Settlers who get defensive saying things like "it wasn't me or my ancestors" is an example of the blood / land / memory trope, and settlers self indigenizing, renewing settler innocence, reterritorializing the land on selective memory.

Talking about genocide is not for victim or "guilt" appeals. It's about calling for accountability for broken social contracts and binding legal agreements, treaties, etc.
Broken social contracts as an indictment on the structures.
How "Honor The Treaties" exist as an indictment on dominant society, & the material conditions of ongoing colonialism and oppression:
