The gov neurodiversity report is 599 pages long, and the press got it yesterday. They can push that ADHD is overdiagnosed in press release bc they knew no journo was reading 600 pages. Press will publish their lies, and it'll be even easier to take PIP off ADHDers. And that's how they fucking win

What is going on with our president? Calling people "THE ENEMY" for exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply disturbing. That's what autocratic leaders do, not American leaders. Doing so for such a trivial, vain matter is just nutty.

Tom Watson on phone hacking "Consumer boycotts do impact [and] it's up to the public to decide whether they want to put up with that kind of nonsense" www.abc.net.au/pm/archive/a... So it's legitimate for the public to want boycotts when it's The Sun, but "mob rule" when it's Palantir.
