The worst part of having US politics as a special interest is that it is both satisfying and destroying my life.

We are clearly in the rebellious stage when “Go to your mat” results in this:
A dog lying next to his mat rather than on it even though he understands the command. He just chooses not.

Not an expert, but I think the important thing to remember is that ASD, ADHD, and many autoimmune diseases are linked to genetics not just poor nutrition or some generic “illness”. A “fix” probably has to occur on the genetic level so as banal as “promoting health” sounds in the EO it’s not great

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Any company that “cancels DEI” or “fires their DEI hires” is just capitulating to Segregation. Call it what it is. You’re watching the re-Segregation of America in real time.

if all the news, posts about the news, comments and the like are stressing you out (which in sure includes most of us), please talk about it with someone you trust. Don’t just bottle it up or isolate because you don’t want to burden people. Stay safe out there and protect your mental health.

I'm autistic, most of the people I have known and communicated with over the years online are also. We struggle with things yes. What we don't do is doing the gesture that signifies deleting millions of people. Being autistic doesn’t mean you do the nazi salute. Hope this helps.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!
