Stop calling autistic meltdowns tantrums because they are not, If an autistic person melts down,
it’s not “bad behavior.”
It’s overload.
Too much noise, light, pressure, expectation.
Imagine a fire alarm going off in your head and no one else hears it.
That’s what we’re fighting 👌🏽

Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

Fact-check: Most of the goons in Trump's deportation army aren't even ICE agents.

Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs.

“People are on edge at the moment, economists are trying to figure out what’s going on and to lose this source of data at this critical time, it’s just a real problem.”

The government shutdown means no jobs data...conveniently for Trump.

Sure it’s tough to find a new job or afford a home or groceries, but Trump has doubled his net worth since taking office by profiting off the presidency.

They’re too wrapped up in the establishment. It’s exactly why we need new people in leadership.
