The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”
EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.
My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...
“RFK is a disgrace to the Kennedy name” Joseph Kennedy lobotomized Rosemary for being “difficult”, developmentally delayed, and clearly neurodivergent
He’s just embracing his granddaddy’s love for eugenics and cruelty
Autism grievance parents keep topping themselves in cynical awfulness, including cozying up to fellow autism disinformation-spewer RFK Jr. So we’ve updated our explainer on how these parents harm autistics, meaning their own kids as well as ours. Thread.

...OK, you might need to be a Midnight Oil fan to get that...
Here's a tip: Now that RFK, Jr. has been confirmed (on top of everything else), this is probably not a good time to do anything that might upset an autistic person. There's a very good chance you'd quickly regret having done that.
The Senate just gave us autistic people the middle finger.

And just looking for these words will inevitably result in getting rid of a bunch of "false positives," i.e., things that don't even discuss what they're trying to target. For instance, it's not as if discussing transgender issues is the only time one might discuss pronouns!
They don't know what "confirmation bias" means, huh
what we’re seeing is that the courts are willing to rule against the government on certain things but there’s no one to actually enforce it.

People will die if this man's plans begin to come to fruition.

In the coming years, things are going to get particularly bad for autistics, given RFK's autism demonization. This means it's going to be open season on autistics in school yards (more than usual), and a lot more ableism in general. Here is a thread of some ways to meaningfully support autistics.
There are many fights still to come, but this decision stands to make a huge difference for educators. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...
“Stimming had a SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE impact on autistic adults’ self-rated self-efficacy”
