One of the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard, given by FRED ROGERS upon receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmy's. Beautiful stuff.

Tatiani Elliot was brave today. She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and gave her testimony in front of Washington state legislators. And they silenced her. “Now that some of us are finally speaking, the rules are changing.” ~ Tatiani “Can you please wrap up?” ~ Committee 1/2

Detention facilities that are not licensed for daycare or to teach are not allowed to hold children longer than 20 days. It’s likely this scheme is an attempt to hold children indefinitely. Innocent children do not belong there. FULL🛑‼️ For-Profit School Opening in For-Profit ICE Family Prison

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The ABA industry continues to test whether its 'interventions' make autistic children hide being autistic. www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11... is a new review of ABA based 'interventions' which uses e.g. the ADOS checklists for alleged abnormal behaviour/
A list of things that the ADOS autism assessment tests for, to see if the child isn't autistic yet.
Normalised use of pointing, gestures, eye contact, face expressions, shared enjoyment, 'quality' of social interactions, lack of 'stereotyped' words and phrased, lack of unusual sensory 'behaviours', lack of autistic 'mannerisms' and lack of 'repetitive interests and behaviours'

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
nbcnews.com
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

For those who dont follow right wing media, they have January 6th'd the Charlie Kirk murder. They all believe it was transgender or radical leftist etc and refuse to talk about Groypers. It's a cult. Lost. Concentrate on informing and organizing the majority.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

The oligarchs of the age instigated the Civil War in an attempt to maintain their wealth through slavery. It sounds like Muskit and others are attempting to instigate a second one to maintain their wealth and power. When will the rest of us learn?

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.
