This - and also, autistic people who don't work, who need help in the bathroom, who produce nothing of monetary value and have no spectacular talents, are also human beings.

Even if all the premises of RFK's argument are true, the conclusion - that autistic lives aren't worth living - is false.
I know a LOT of autistic people. They all pay taxes. They all purport themselves like full human people because they are. They all have jobs. They can all play sports. They can all pee pee and poo poo just fine. Some are incredible poets. Some are remarkable speakers or artists or coders. Fuck rfk

New, from me: Trump and Musk are engaged in a broad-based downsizing of government, using that downsizing to selectively target their enemies, while expanding their political power by trading exceptions to the downsizing.

It's a new spoils systems. 🧵

NASA begins cutting staff and eliminating three offices, marking the start of a mandated reduction in force at the space agency under Elon Musk’s directive. Gotta keep SpaceX afloat, right? Conflict of interest!

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938
