To every autistic person who heard those words and felt erased: you matter. You are not a burden. You are a vital part of our communities, our movements, and our future.

We see you. We stand with you. And we will not let this kind of rhetoric go unchallenged.

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

"At the height of the Reign of Terror in France, Robespierre gave a speech in which he derided those who showed excessive pity for enemies of the republic." At one time, that would be sobering for folks on the right.

Thinking about this some more, basically the only path to maintaining something like constitutional continuity is for Trump to be impeached, convicted, and removed sometime will before the end of his term, right?
I'm still not sure what kind of continuity can be had amidst all this, and tbh I'm kind of hoping we get a bit of an appetite for radical constitutional reform going

But... yeah. It's interesting.
