Exactly the same. I got my diagnosis earlier this year because if these bastards want to kidnap my kid, they're going to have to take me too.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education Multiple sources tell NPR that, as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

Cause fuck those special needs kids right?

Millionth example of #MAGA and the #protectourkids crowd being ghoulish assholes and actively harming our kids.

This is what happens when an administration that actively believes in eugenics comes into power.

“My child was screaming like crazy:” West Texas parents outraged over alleged abuse of kids The Midland school district has said it has followed the law. Six teachers and the school principal have either resigned or been fired over the alleged abuse of special needs students.

This is absolutely an outrage. And the sheer fucking audacity of the school district to require these parents to sign an NDA to view the recordings of their special needs kids suffering abuse at the hands of the district's employees.

Just a periodic reminder that being autistic isn't a death sentence and the fact that it's being treated like the worst possible thing a person can have is ludicrous.

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day for many autistic people. The report on itself is bad, but so is the language we're going to see officials use to describe autism.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

It’s telling that the only thing most people are interested in knowing about autism is what causes it & how to avoid it. How are #autistic people supposed to live in a world that sees us this way? As a “risk” to avoid rather than as fellow humans & community members?

When you have a dictator calling autistic people a "horror show" and his Minister of Eugenics says "we're going to solve that", we all know what they mean, right?

My son and I aren't part of any "tremendous horror show" because we're both #actuallyautistic.

"President Trump asked Kennedy for a progress update during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, saying, 'The autism is such a tremendous horror show.'"

Texas leaders have repeatedly claimed the state’s voting maps are race blind. Until the Trump DOJ disagreed. Gov. Greg Abbott has acknowledged DOJ concerns that some districts were drawn “along strict racial lines.” Critics say it’s a political ploy.

Texas is shamelessly & hypocritically arguing in federal court that it's Congressional maps were drawn racially neutral WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY saying publicly that the new Texas GOP #gerrymander is necessary because multiple districts are racially discriminatory.

Actually scratch that, these Nazi-coddlers are getting louder and prouder by the day with their racist fuckery and all these white ladies posting Sieg Heil selfies like a makeup tutorial

Disability Pride Month: The ADA and the Modern History of Disability Rights in the U.S. - Medicare Rights Center The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990, following years of advocacy from the disability community. This landmark civil rights legislation prohibited discriminat...

Disability Pride Month must be a reminder of the advocacy and activism of the disability community, not only a celebration of the ADA. Because disability is a natural and often fluid part of the human experience, advancing disability rights benefits everyone.

The eugenics based war on the autistic community continues unabated.

This was a disappointing read despite initial impressions…

Although against JFK’s autism stance, it also talks about:

- autism as a disorder that needs treating
- overdiagnosis
- the benefit of dx leading to overuse of school services
- too many socially awkward people thinking they’re autistic

One of my best memories as a Dad came about two months ago after I received my #autism diagnosis. I'll remember my 5 yr old's smile when I told him that I'm autistic just like him for the rest of my life. It was something I never knew I needed.

So happy #FathersDay to my fellow dads of all kinds.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Harris County astronaut still plans to vote in 2024 election despite being stranded in space Texas first passed a law in 1997 that allows astronauts to vote if they will be in space during early voting and on Election Day.

Today is #sinedie for the #txlege, so good a time as any to remind folks that here in Texas we have a law allowing astronauts to vote electronically from space while we Texans on the ground still can't register to vote online.

YMMV, but sure seems intentional to me.

Texas to expand how schools discipline students House Bill 6, which now heads to the governor, targets the increase in violence that has plagued schools since the pandemic.

We all know this new policy will be disproportionately and discriminatorily applied to non-white students and disabled students right? Because that's how this ALWAYS plays out.

Trump is bringing back Columbus Day.

The guy missed India by about 10,000 miles. Then after he realized he fucked up, he doubled down.

Columbus basically invented gaslighting in America.

Speak up! Speak loud! HANDS OFF!!!!

Saying the quiet part out loud.

Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick argued that "parents needed more schooling options for their children in the face of . . . frustrations with public schools’ efforts to foster a more inclusive environment for all students."
