I hate to be that guy, but it feels like there was more (again, totally justified) outrage at Tik Tok being banned than Trump trying to take birthright citizenship away and deciding to use ICE to ethnically cleanse Black and Brown folks.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Pro Tip : Health departments in the US are still reporting on outbreaks in individual states. While this may vary based on the political leadership in your state, your state's department of health website is still a valuable resource to stay updated on local outbreaks that could directly affect you.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history

Good morning ppl! 🚨🚨Call to action🚨🚨 The below proposed bill has been added to the docket. This is completely written and lead by the failing AI industry. This bill will further erode health care and cause deaths. Please call your MOC (member of Congress that reps you) and say no to less care!

artists do better with stability, security, serenity, some enrichment in our enclosure and not being hunted for sport
"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

This week, amidst a broader purge of LGTBQ-mentioning materials from federal health sites, NIAID deleted its HIV Language Guide, an important reference on destigmatizing, people-first terminology. But it's still a public domain document, so we reposted it on TheBody:

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public.
101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

One of the things I truly hate is the "oh it's cos I'm/they're autistic" get out of jail free card.
No. Being autistic is a reason you might need something explaining in more detail or not pick up on a detail. It's not an excuse to not do the work or to not be held accountable for wrongdoing.

And finally point 4 is a responsibility, to help and police our own. An Autism Liberation movement should fight discriminatory views within our community, and build solidarity beyond it. In particular the far right has made efforts to groom and radicalise neurodiverse people and we must fight back.
