Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · Apr 15

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

My dad was one of the 82nd Airborne "pacifying" the Dominican Republic in 1965, and he showed up in Chicago in 1968 to say that being a US soldier means taking an oath to the Constitution, not your commander or a President. Against all enemies.
