I’m not convinced that the shows finances are the full reason. Not in this climate. “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said...”

“First, we must face the harsh reality that the freedom many of us feel is slipping away has never been a universal reality for everyone in this nation. From its inception, there have always been folks who were never listed under the category of “all” when we heralded liberty and justice.”

Ray Bradbury said, ‘You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.’ That’s where we are. But here’s the good news: WE STILL HAVE THE BOOKS. So read them, share them, and remind these book banners that their fear of ideas isn’t our problem—it’s theirs.

The Library of Congress just delivered a masterclass in independence—blocking Trump appointees after he abruptly fired the Librarian. Staff stood firm, called Capitol Police, and refused to cede control. A bold stand for the separation of powers when it matters most. This is the way.

If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person person. There’s no one way to be autistic. Autism is a spectrum not a straight line. Autistic people have different strengths. And we have different challenges. Communication looks different for everyone. Sensory experiences vary from person to person. It isn’t just about social interactions. Being autistic doesn’t mean being a genius. Support needs can change over time. Some of us mask. Some of us don’t. Just because I seem fine doesn’t mean I am. And everyone is not a little autistic.
