Sorry but Netanyahu has no right to talk about terrorism when he's been overseeing it himself for several years over the last few decades.

Being “high masking” ≠ low support needs.
Stop promoting this false idea.
You can mask every second of your life - and still need massive support.
The mask hides need.
It doesn’t erase it.

Non-autistic humans love to say “everyone deals with that.”
Of course there’s overlap.
We’re all human.
But what we experience internally as autistic humans is different.
To flatten that into “same” isn’t solidarity.
It’s erasure.
It’s violence.

Just accidentally bombed a hospital twice with my remote-controlled drones and sadly I killed a bunch of innocent people, but don't worry, I said "sorry" so everyone forgives me ♥️

Reform councillors in Nottinghamshire won't engage with local journalists because they can’t stand being held to account.
This is what a Reform government would be like. They're a far-right, authoritarian party that seeks to undermine our democracy.

People seeking sanctuary are having to brace for another weekend of violent mobs outside their accommodation.
Many have already faced horrific trauma before they arrived. Now they are fearing for their safety again.
This is where the demonisation of migrants and refugees leads.

Labour won’t defend migration.
Too scared of Reform, too terrified to lead.
While they play dog whistle politics, inequality is the real problem.
Not small boats. But private jets.

I don't feel unsafe from refugees and asylum seekers.
I feel unsafe from far-right fascists who are influencing and infiltrating governments, and taking the right of me, my loved ones, and those I care about, away.

“We don’t have to agree on everything to be friends”
No this is true, but that statement is for things like what foods you like or fashion choices…
Not on basic and fundamental rights of marginalised and vulnerable people

The basic principles of the Online Safety Act - to protect minors from potentially harmful material - were fine.
But it seems that this 'Labour' government is taking the p1ss.
Using those principles as a reason to harvest private information is, frankly, scary 😨

Stimming and a preference for routine are NOT problematic behaviours
They’re natural, valid ways that many neurodivergent people regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and navigate a world that often feels overwhelming
