It's amazing that it needs to be said, but we should listen to autistic people about autism. (And autistic people, like any other group of people, also have a range of perspectives and experiences -- this is just one!) www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Contributor: Autism is not your enemy
It isn’t the misinformation that troubles autistic people the most. It’s the subtext that the world would be better off without us.

Immigrants help keep California’s $4T economy running.
Trump’s mass raids and stripping people of legal status risk tearing it apart — gutting our workforce and raising costs for everyone while separating American families.
End these senseless policies now, Donald Trump.

As the Trump administration continues to ramp up immigration enforcement, industries key to the state’s $4 trillion economy like agriculture, construction and hospitality could be among those hardest hit by the loss of California’s immigrant workforce, new research suggests.
Trump’s immigration policy threatens key sectors of California’s economy, long reliant on immigrant workers
At stake are billions of dollars that fuel businesses large and small across the state, whose standalone economy is the fourth largest in the world after the U.S., China and Germany.

Labor Day was born in struggle. Workers striking, marching, and demanding dignity. Black, brown, white, immigrant, shoulder to shoulder, we built this holiday.
In 2025, we carry that legacy forward. We’re rising to say loud and clear: Families First, Not Billionaires.

Most of the immigrants ICE arrested in California last month have never even been charged with a crime, much less convicted.
If Donald Trump says he’s only targeting the “worst of the worst,” why do his own numbers prove otherwise?

Militarized ICE officers in MacArthur Park last week instilled fear. Their activity and heavy media coverage don't boost safety; they harm mental health by increasing fear, anxiety, and triggering trauma. This leads to missed appointments, isolation, and limited access to vital support.
