Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

I like how no one knows whether the President of the United States is going to tank the global economy because he’s a fucking idiot—or if he’s just doing a bit.

For the love of god, please stop using the antisemitism excuse. It has zero to do with that , and everything to do with asserting control over societal institutions that create independent knowledge and promote critical thinking.
