As the parent of an autistic kid, it is hard even to formulate a sentence these days. The rage bubbles like molten lava under my skin.
The audacity of a regime that illegally tears a father from his autistic child to claim that it is autism that destroys families…
He is preaching eugenics.

C.D.C. Will Investigate Debunked Link Between Vaccines and Autism
Dozens of studies have failed to find evidence of a link. The decision to re-examine the question comes as a measles outbreak, driven by low vaccination rates, widens in Texas.

Tyranny works same in every context, which is why Trump—in the Oval Office regarding world politics and war—hit like an angry derisive parent. Not because Zelensky was childish but because tyranny is always about coercive belittling violence, whether between family members or nations.

I learned that the FAFSA is requiring students to select M or F to access federal funding. Trans and nonbinary students now have to misgender themselves to access their education (I’m not convinced it will be an easy switch). I’ve called my reps / am outraged at the violation of my students’ rights.

From Kübler-Ross’s interview with a nun in “On Death & Dying” (1969). Feels like whole game right now.
