Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

A 15-year-old Autistic boy went to take a bathroom break while helping his mother sell fruit in Houston, TX. Frighteningly, he never returned and was missing for almost a week.

Finally, the family discovered that ICE had secretly snatched the child and taken him to a detention center.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

“In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.” 🔥

Instead of running from trans rights @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leans into fighting for ALL New Yorkers.

He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.

Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is:

That autism is a disease
That we are broken
That we shouldn’t exist

It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising

We’re not a problem to be solved.
We’re real, valid humans

Why is that so hard to see?

This is why my neuropsychologist doesnt establish level 1,2 etc. she tells her patients that the level and needs change over time pending so many things. At one point in a persons life they could high functioning/level 1 and then something in life happens and they require more accommodations

Disabled people are not the enemy

Immigrants are not the enemy

LGBTQ+ people are not the enemy

Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy

These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us

They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda

7 October 2023: What really happened?

Much of what we thought we knew about the attack has turned out to be false or only partially true. We owe it to the Palestinians to understand what happened.

Masking helps us survive, but it’s not sustainable. It’s dangerous to keep hiding pain just to be seen as “acceptable.”
