Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

There's such a wide variety of emotional expression within our species.
Sometimes emotions appear on our faces whether we want them to or not.
Other times, it might be through body language (stimming for us autistics) or vocal tone.
Different cultures express emotions differently, too.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

"An autistic person who understands themselves and the world poses an ultimate threat to narcissists who crave endless money, power, and attention.

That's one more reason why they want to get rid of us."

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Good… lock them out of everything.

Don’t feed them, don’t sell them beverages, or allow them into your businesses to use the restroom or to shelter from the elements… shun them everywhere they go.

team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois. We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year.

This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful.

The image has a solid blue background and a multicolored infinity symbol surrounded by sparkles at the center. The text underneath the symbol says: "This account is autistic and proud!"

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.
