COMIC: The Balrog
PANEL 1: The BALROG from Lord of the Rings, falls in a cloud of smoke and flame. Next to him is a tiny GANDALF, his staff and sword falling next to him. On either side of them are the cave walls.
BALROG: Hey sport — I noticed you haven’t said a thing while we fall. …WE GOOD?

PANEL 2: Close up on the BALROG, still falling, he holds up two thumbs up.
BALROG: Because I’m really sorry about attacking you. I should’ve known the dark fire would not avail me. Especially since you’re a… “Wielder of the Flame of Anor.” Which, honestly? I didn’t know! Sounds super cool.

PANEL 3: Still falling, the BALROG continues.
BALROG: So listen: I’m SORRY that I whacked you with my sword, and whipped you, and yelled at you. THAT IS MY BAD. But maybe we could…START FRESH?

PANEL 4: The BALROG, still falling but now facing upwards. The tiny GANDALF now stands on his chest, stabbing him with his sword.
BALROG: yeah no ok that’s fair.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

If we don't understand WHY an autistic person is having difficulties, then we may not be teaching them useful coping skills. This is a fundamental issue with even "new and nicer" Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). From Rebecca Engle, at @endseclusion.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/QuestioningBehaviors
Graphic with a yellow background.

Text reads, "Questions to Ask About an Autistic Child’s “Behaviors”

"What is this child’s nervous system experiencing?
What sensory information is overwhelming them?
What physiological need has gone unmet?
How is chronic stress affecting executive functioning?
What developmental experiences shaped this response?"

"These questions do not reject behavior. They simply recognize that behavior is downstream from the brain."

Smaller text in the lower left reads, "Rebecca Engle at @EndSeclusionOrg

Socialism is a scare-word in the USA
SOCIALISM IS A SCAREWORD
Harry S. Truman, 33rd president of the United States
Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
