You don’t need to wait until September. I can tell you why there are more cases of #autism today. It’s the diagnostic criteria which didn’t exist in any form until 1994. 🧵
RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.

Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.

Disabled lives matter too!
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

Unacceptable.
Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence.

This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!

Scholars who study America are saying they won’t visit because it’s too risky.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

*taps mic*

remember: this is not just egregious lies about autism which is already bad enough

it's also about ensuring pregnant people suffer by trying to make them afraid of taking painkillers

don't let the ableism hide the misogyny

There is a reason fascists try to suppress and control artists. Artists have the power to use their platform: comedy, music, visual arts, poetry/prose, or any other genre -to promote critical thinking and speak truth to power. #Resist #Donotobey
Just a little update on this iconic #WoodyGuthrie image cause we can’t have anyone arrested or deported for this. But the message holds. Creative people and especially the artists terrify #fascists. More artists need to call it out

Thank you to #theboss for not backing down

Next time you question job action, remember this👇🏻
Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.
