We shouldn’t be looking at what causes autism
We should be looking at:
- how society can STOP STIGMATISING AUTISM
- support and services that work for everyone
- how to improve autistic people’s quality of life
- reducing suicide rates (9x higher for autistic people)

I think it is Margaret Brennan who deserves a prize for consistently calling out these types of people
BRENNAN: The pandemic began during the Trump administration, and Operation Warp Speed was a presidential directive. So did you trust the CDC under Trump?
MARSHALL: Look, President Trump absolutely deserves the Nobel Prize
B: Ok, but you just said something that sounded very contradictory to that

Lots of people asking why isn't my state issuing COVID vaccine executive orders?

A month ago, RFK Jr. called his CDC director “unimpeachable.”
Then she refused to sign off on his plan to put little kids’ health at risk, and he fired her.

Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately.
He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.

Shower thought: why does autism get such a bad rap?
Is it because people are inherently afraid of what they don’t understand, or afraid of not fitting in?

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
