We're learning so much more about the experiences of nonverbal autistic people now, too, thanks to increasing awareness and assistive technology, and what really stood out to me was how much their intelligence, experiences, and suffering have been unheard and dismissed in favor of the parents' POV.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

Bruh Drake lost. It's done. You still arguing different is a tragic moral failure on your part. Out rapped. Outsold. Out awarded. Dissed at the super bowl while his ex crip walked on stage. And lost in a court of law. Only thing left is for Kendrick to adopt Adonis and give a father to look up to.

Few modern figures are more misunderstood and deliberately maligned than Che. Read his words and understand why that’s not an accident

58 years ago Che was executed

Take some time to learn about him and read him today

Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War

"The first duty of a revolutionary is to be educated."
Che Guevara

Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery.
Che Guevara
