"The neurodevelopmental processes of autism occur before birth." Full stop.
Let's stop blaming vaccines and shaming parents for using them to protect their children.
Autism occurs naturally, it is likely heritable. And it is a difference, not a deficiency. It does not need to be "cured."
When some claim that other animals don't feel emotions, maybe they're just envious they can't experience the pure bliss a cosy blanket brings to this pig 🐷
I am angry tonight.
Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
Trump is urging Europe to release diesel reserves and saying that US consumers and businesses shouldn’t have to bear the burden of global supply disruptions, which would probably be an easier ask if he hadn’t spent the previous years telling them they’re useless freeloaders.
“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.”
Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)
🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS lawsuit seeking to compel Washington State to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients.

NOTHING says “sinking ship” like 45+ Republicans suddenly being too busy for Trump’s own midterm convention. 😂
They enabled every disaster. Now they’re terrified to be seen with him.
Run, cowards, run.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades.
No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.
MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."
The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
