Ugly laws led to poor, disabled people being institutionalized. It's now part of the strategy Trump plans to use to get rid of unhoused people, in DC and beyond. For @motherjones.com, I spoke to @okaysoldierschweik.bsky.social, who wrote a book about ugly laws. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🧵 I’m organising workshops where autistic people can help plan research. I’m looking for a few autistic people to take part, either in a text (typed) discussion, or on a Teams video call. I’ll ask what you think about different ideas for research on the general theme of ‘autistic & thriving’. 1/5
