The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.
“These are kids who will never pay taxes,” Kennedy declared. “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. We have to recognize we are doing this to our children.”

Huh. I both pay taxes and have written poetry. Guess my Autism is fake news.

As I wrote in the piece, Kennedy continues to use stigmatizing and frankly pretty shocking language to refer to people with autism, implicitly framing them as a burden on society and their families who will, as he said, "never pay taxes" or "write a poem."

Traveling? Measles is still spreading around the world and in Canada. Get vaccinated before you go to protect you and your loved ones.

If you return from travel with a rash and fever, speak to your health care provider. Learn more at: www.toronto.ca/community-pe...
Graphic of travel suitcases. Text: Planning to travel? Protect your family before you go. Get your child up-to-date with vaccines. MMR vaccines protect against measles & are safe. Measles spreads quickly through the air and close contact. Symptoms are a red rash, fever, runny nose, cough, feeling tired or red eyes. Measles can be serious for babies & young children.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

With the tumultuous climate, especially in Nebraska and Iowa with anti-trans bills, our week is geared toward anti-bullying and trans sexual education. Bullying occurs within Native communities as lateral violence because we have internalized the colonial gender binary & replicate it onto our own.

Okay, so I could use some help bouncing back while I'm still waiting on some other payments, so if you could help a fella get ahead of some bills and replace the fan that just broke that would be rad right about now:

More stories of Canadians experiencing customs struggles and being threatened with detention now.

This is Cree music composer Andrew Balfour's post from today on Facebook.
Yesterday is a day I'd rather forget. Even with what I thought was proper paperwork, I was denied entry in US. So, they put you in a holding room, take your passport and phone, and wait. In my case 4 hours, sitting in a shitty room in Newark International Airport in New Jersey watching all the people being detained arguing their case...brutal..... After. 2 hours, was told I could either be held until an Immigrantion Judge could hear my case, ( could take days) or they put me on a flight back to Toronto. I took the flight, but they hold you for the last minute, than I was escorted to my gate by 2 armed us customs dudes, walked directly to the plane door, they give me an envelope with my passport and phone and I walk on the plane, last one on, and now people are giving me looks...ffs At least they didn't have me in handcuffs Sucks, but ironically, the young US customs guy in charge of my file or whatever was a good person. He knew the red tape or bullshit was happening, he was sympathetic and even understanding, a good person. As he was finger printing me, finger by finger, he actually was apologizing, and when he found out I was a composer, I did hear him tell his supervisor to treat me okay, But big regret not being with Amabile Choirs and Sherryl Sewepagaham and our songs this weekend. The Creator has different ideas than we....

My neighbor just offered me an ozh'esta (Vulcan kiss) through our chain link fence and now I'm shaking all over. I need a spirk fanfic about this immediately and am devastated to know I'll have to be the one to write it.

I spent all last night dreaming I was making pasta only to wake up before I could take a single bite. Not even the fettuccine test run before I moved on to the pumpkin ravioli.
