Quakertown parents want answers as Bucks DA investigates police confrontation
Videos show officers confronting student protesters in the Pennsylvania town, which the Bucks NAACP said βraised serious questions.β
This story from Quakertown is wild: high school students staged an anti-ICE walkout, and the local police chief, out of uniform and without identifying himself, attacked a teenage girl, put her in a chokehold, and had her arrested. whyy.org/articles/buc...

I canβt begin to tell you how damaging βthe world isnβt fair, get used to itβ line has been to every childβs psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

I don't have the stomach to watch, but from what I hear, the President's remarks on autism were as ignorant and harmful as I would expect.
Ignore them. Listen to autistic and neurodivergent people and learn from them instead.

This autism press conference is an insult to science and medicine. It is a bunch of shameless male quacks shoveling bullshit at pregnant women, families and people with autism. This is a historic embarrassment for America and it is wildly dangerous.

Secondarily but also importantly, the kids AROUND those little trans kids *also* saw her get on a stage and do that, and itβs going to influence how they see the trans kids around them. It a world where every 4th famous person is saying theyβre not important at best and evil at worst, it matters.

A photograph of the Cave of Hands
Another photograph of the Cave of Hands, featuring warm terra cotta and cream and brown stenciled hand prints on a rock wall
Thinking about the Cave of Hands, some of the art dating back to 7,300BC, where 25% of the hand prints are thought to be that of children. Imagining those people gently holding their child up to the cave walls, and using their tiny little hands as a stencil. Art = love = the human soul
