Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Them: Why were you fine before your autism diagnosis, but you're suddenly struggling now.
Me: I wasn't fine. Like at all. I was struggling. A lot. More than I even realized. But now, I understand my struggles a whole lot more, and I'm not trying to hide them anymore.

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

My "high functioning autism" is basically everyone else seeing me as completely normal but maybe just a bit picky/particular... while internally it's me in constant sensory overload, social overload, and fighting against my executive dysfunction to just do stuff...
Anyone else?

Yesterday I mentioned that eating food my brain doesn't like can ruin my entire day. Today someone told me that's "a bit extreme."

Late autism diagnosis/self-ID can bring up:
-Grief for a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and receiving no support.
-Anger for all the trauma that could have been avoided.
-Regret for what could have been.
-But also: An opportunity to discover who you really are.
