The homepage of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website was updated Friday night to display a “Page not found” error message. This change occurred just one day after members of Musk’s team gained access to the bureau’s headquarters and computer systems.

I’m not kidding. Fascists want us to stop providing accommodations for disabled community members. Caring is antifascist.
You can also put on a mask, speak up when you see ableism in any context, offer to be an advocate for disabled people in your community in the hospital.

It’s not difficult for the vast majority of you to spend an extra 15 seconds to keep this place accessible- an act that is inherently antifascist.

White power will protect itself through any means necessary, including destruction of the government and society if it means that no one else can can hold power.
People need to understand that white supremacy and white power as is practiced in the United States is and has always been fascism.

I *do* think it’s horrible that men keep using autism to get out of horrible things they’ve done but I do also think most of them are in fact autistic.
autistic people can be horrible people. autistic men can be abusive. we have to have open discussions about that.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

I said this yesterday, I’ll say it again more firmly: this 50 states protest is either being organized by people who have no concept of safety or it is a honeypot. You’re the one who has to decide, but I would absolutely not bring children and I would absolutely think twice about going myself.

Autism is seeing patterns that others don’t, telling people, having them tell you you’re imagining the patterns, then when the inevitable result of that pattern happens they declare “if only someone could have predicted this” while you stand there seething. #AutisticLife

Kind of weird how much we've separated egg prices from the h5n1 virus. Like we get that's why eggs are expensive? Because we've failed to contain it and farmers have had to cull large amounts of chickens leading to a reduction in production?

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”
"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

When we allow ABA therapists to “extinguish” flapping, echolalia, or other forms of autistic self-regulation to make a child appear less autistic—but without understanding why the child does these things—autistic kids perceive this as *irrational punishment*.

Late diagnosed autism is figuring out that part (but def not all) of your anxiety is actually repressed stimming. The later you’re diagnosed, the harder it is to let yourself stim when anyone else is around even though you know how much better you feel when you do. #AutisticLife #AnxiousAutistic
