Animating too much absolutely sensible outrage at Trumpism is an appeal to parental figures who aren’t there. “He should not be allowed”; “He should be arrested”; “This can’t be permitted.” Passive voice, all of which begs, “by whom?” It’s an appeal to an order that has already broken.

MEMPHIS — The historic Clayton Temple Church, a centerpiece of the civil rights movement, burned down early this morning… “unknown what caused the fire”…. The iconic “I AM A MAN” signs were printed in the basement

If you are autistic, have a loved one on the spectrum or just care about the welfare of autistic people, I urge you to write your state AG, the ACLU, and your senators about the registry RFK Jr wants to create. If you need help with the letter, I have a template that I can share with you.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People

It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

You know the aunt who posts 'uplifting' stories to FB about giving a homeless veteran a quarter to help buy a coffee, or stories about people buying a car for a woman who walked 18 miles a day to work at a minimum wage job? Those are the people who voted for Trump. Don't fix the underlying problem.
