We have seen a wave of dangerous proposals and policy changes from this administration that threaten the rights, freedom, and safety of disabled people. That’s why we’ve put together a resource debunking misinformation about autism and why it matters so much! autisticadvocacy.org/debunking-au...
Blue background with a white box containing a large exclamation point. Text reads: Debunking Autism Misinformation. Breaking down the harmful myths and attacks on our community. Blue background with text that reads: We have seen a wave of dangerous proposals and policy changes coming from this administration that threaten the rights, freedom, and safety of disabled people. From dangerous misinformation about autism, to attempts to shut down the Department of Education, to attacks on Medicaid and SNAP, these policies put all of us at risk. That's why we've put together a new resource breaking down what's happening, what it means for our community, and what's at stake. Blue background with text that reads: This resource covers many of the ongoing issues, including: Attempts to eliminate the Department of Education and gutting the Office for Civil Rights that enforces disability protections in schools. Pushing the harmful "profound autism" label to divide our community and ignore the real needs of our community, including people with high support needs. Slashing the Social Security Administration, leaving disabled people to die waiting for benefits we desperately need. Blue background, text reads: All disabled people deserve support, accessible education, and the freedom to live in our communities. We will not stay silent while our rights are under attack. Read the full resource, and share widely to tell politicians and billionaires that we reject the corruption, greed, and disregard for our lives we have seen from this administration.

ICE and the IDF are two arms of the same system. Militarized borders. State violence. No accountability.

Venezuela Petition
🚨 Trump just said the U.S. will “run” Venezuela to take its wealth. 🚨

We’ve seen this before—endless wars for oil and profit. Congress must authorize war and Congress can stop it.

✍️ Add your name now: No U.S. Occupation of Venezuela!

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋
It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!
Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

Blue textured background. There's a blue dotted border. Action Alert! is written in white text inside a dark blue banner. Black text reads: Tell Congress: RFK Jr. and HHS Are Bad For Students With Disabilities! Last week, the government said they are moving some parts of the Department of Education to different agencies. This is very bad for students with disabilities.

Today, November 20th, is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day meant to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. We remember and mourn for those we’ve lost, and will continue to work towards a world without transphobic violence.
Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Trans Day of Remembrance is a day to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: Trans Day of Remembrance started in 1999 with a vigil to commemorate Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was murdered the year before. Today we remember those we’ve lost to anti-trans violence, particularly trans women of color. Dark blue textured background. Text reads: At ASAN, we recognize that autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ+ than non autistic people. We stand in solidarity with our trans siblings and recognize how our communities overlap. Transgender autistic people are often denied the autonomy, recognition and respect they need to live according to their gender identity. Misperceptions about what it means to be transgender, or about autistic people’s ability to understand their gender or make decisions about their bodies, often prompt service providers or family members to stand in the way of transgender autistic people’s attempts to live life with authenticity and dignity. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: While we mourn, it is also vital that we take action to protect our trans community from discrimination in every area of society. ASAN will continue to fight back against attacks on trans rights and work towards a world in which transgender autistic people are respected and included everywhere.

Today, the White House said it would get rid of most of the Department of Education (ED). Everyone has the right to a good education — and we need to protect that right. Tell your Congresspeople we will not let this attack on disability rights continue! autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/what...
Blue textured background. Text reads: Everyone has the right to a good education. Full statement on website. The ASAN logo is at the bottom. Blue textured background. Inside a light box, text reads: On November 18, the White House said it would move some offices out of the Department of Education. Six offices are being moved to four other government agencies. The head of the Department of Education is Secretary MacMahon. Secretary MacMahon said she wants to keep working on getting rid of the Department of Education. The White House also said that the U.S. does not need the Department of Education anymore. They said the Department of Education doesn’t actually help students get services. They said that “nothing happened” to students during the government shutdown, so getting rid of parts of the Department of Education is okay. That’s why the White House thinks they can move some offices out of the Department of Education. But the White House is wrong.

An orange with a blonde shock of hair and a golden crown with a red no symbol over it, set against a pink background and words in black that say “No Kings Ever!”, “Not in 1775”, and “Not in 2025 Now”.
