“… fear of negative evaluation… is influenced by… social environments and peer perceptions.”

In other words: people with autism fear “negative evaluation” because a lot of people are- in fact- very mean to them.

Wow! What a staggering discovery. Thanks, Science.

I do think the idea of "run charismatic candidates" is underrated as a strategy. Especially on the presidential level it's a good predictor of Democratic success.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Note: this is a blanket declaration with no specific mention of Los Angeles. It simply states the National Guard are now assisting and protecting ICE anywhere at the President discretion for 60 Days.

That’s a militarized state, my friends.
There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.

Immigrants, by contrast, did not.
ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Republicans say cuts immigrant health care, but that’s not in the bill. all this bill does is cut funds. MAYBE 1.4 immigrants will lose care, but several million citizens will lose as well:

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas.

Studies suggest that teaching mental health in schools is not helpful at all, and may be harmful. From my experience as a teacher, this is mostly true: “mindfulness” and “resilience“ education programs have always annoyed me because they don’t do anything.
