Today in Hell Yes, Research: It's not that there are fewer autistic girls/AFAB people/women. It's that they present differently than boys/AMAB peeps/men, so there's a "catch up" diagnosis increase/rebalancing during & after adolescence:

Black autistic women live at the intersection of racism and ableism. We don’t lack courage to unmask we lack safety. And that truth needs to be said out loud.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad
No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

At the City Club event last night a room of about 150 people, majority white, majority middle aged, clapped when I said if the police legally can’t protect us against federal agents they shouldn’t get more money.

We cannot have normal responses in abnormal times. This moment requires incredible imagination, leadership, and a willingness to step outside the bounds of normalcy to protect everything we hold dear.

You want 'British values', here's national treasure Ian McKellen performing a speech by national hero William Shakespeare about how we should be humane and welcoming to migrants and refugees. bsky.app/profile/lala...
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

We need something that's a hybrid of an old-school forum and a modern social media platform; a place where authors, booksellers, publishers, writers and readers can network, promote and be online in the same spaces without the threat of having the rug pulled out from under us.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.
Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.
And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.
Always follow the money.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.
CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.
We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.
But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.
