The cosplay patriots were clearly effective in their protest on 5th…

Imagine my total lack of surprise at TERFdom glorying in the “delicious” hounding of Jason Arday, then turning their ire on Autistic individuals in general. Scratch a TERF…

The best approach would be for absolutely no one else to stand and media to ignore it.

If I was BBC lawyer I’d be pushing for “discovery” phase ASAP and be preparing some pretty interesting questions about Epstein and how much Trump’s personal wealth has changed since the election

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

It's incredible to me that this still isn't the norm. I don't understand why anyone who thinks they're a journalist would ever put out a story about autism without talking to Autistic people first.

If all you do is reinforce others hateful rhetoric, people will turn to those with the longest record of being hateful. Be the alternative. Offer actual support to those crying out for it, rather than giving them someone else who’s vulnerable as a scapegoat.

A three-panel black-and-white comic shows a young person with glasses and long hair. In the first panel, they sit on the floor looking unamused while Robert Kennedy on TV says, “Autistic people will never pay taxes.” In the second panel, the person joyfully throws papers in the air, smiling brightly. In the third panel, they run happily through a sunny field of flowers, arms outstretched, clearly liberated and content. The comic conveys a sense of freedom and empowerment in defiance of the RFK’s statement.

They speak of poison, preach of blame, Twisting science into shame. RFK, with loud crusade, Ignores the truths that genes have made. Not broken, wrong, or in distress, But wired with a sharp finesse. Don’t fear the spark, don’t chase a cure, What’s different here is strong, and pure.
