Let White People Be the Face of Trump’s Hunger Crisis—Opinion
Black suffering has never moved this country to act. Maybe seeing white families skip meals will finally make us admit that food insecurity isn’t fate—it’s a choice politicians keep making.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The San Diego Police Department is reporting no arrests related to the No Kings protests! Amazing work, everyone. It’s great to see police departments across the country sharing similar updates, peaceful protests everywhere.

One of the few things Southern Californians of all political stripes agree on is the traffic does not need to get any worse. Yet I-5 will be closed for a needless live fire exercise, when Pendleton has plenty of ways to show off that don't include endangering trade or transport routes. #NoKings

Them: You don't look autistic
Me: You don't see it because my autism mostly affects me. I've spent most of my life painstakingly minimizing the impact it has on others... so now it has no effect on you at all, but my life is indescribably more difficult and exhausting

Autism is not a "disease" or "epidemic".
Autism has a strong genetic component.
There is no evidence that vaccinees or Tylenol cause autism.
Access to autism diagnostics have dramatically increased as reported rates increased.
Neither Trump nor RFK Jr are scientists or medical professionals.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Today's news cycle was exhausting. There are far worse things in life than being autistic. For example, you could be gullible enough to believe that anything RFKJr says is actually evidence based.
