I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.

Corn products like tortillas are poor sources of folate known to cause deficiency, & people who consume diets high in corn flour products have increased adverse effects from folate deficiency, like neural tube defects. This health disparity is easily treated.
RFK is just ignorant, eugenicist trash.

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

This is the best (worst) part: They lost in court, resoundingly. But they claim they won.

Oh, hey, that's my article.
The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

And this is key... Federal law defines citizenship, but the actual fact of it is determined by state and county records. DHS has absolutely no mechanism for confirming or refuting citizenship without due process.

Anyway one thing the fash do better than a lot of progressive writers is lay unquestionably bare how our oppressions are tied together: in this case, the oppression of women and children as subjects in the heteronormative family with the oppression of immigrants as national Other
For someone who occasionally claims to be a Dworkinian of a sort---and who hence has presumably heard of the idea of internal critique---it's actually a little shocking to see that Adrian Vermeule completely fails to understand that criticism can be a form of love and loyalty

This is called pillaging.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
