'We've regressed so horribly': Autism groups respond to Trump administration's Tylenol claims The Trump administration claimed Monday that it had found the "answer to autism," drawing backlash from advocacy groups, experts and the community.

this is soft, dude. this is really, really soft.
a few years back, Frank Tieri threatened another critic and myself with violence, directly, at a comic-con over Batman opinions. That dude kept his job. He slid into my DMs with a fake apology.
C. Kirk called for extermination. A joke didn't kill him.

briefly explained who Charlie Kirk was to my very much offline, vaguely centrist, "I believe in love and peace 💖✌🏾" mother a moment ago and she said, "well sounds like it happened to the right person, at least."

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

Still thinking about him:

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR
Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars.
<Later>
Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

For my money, the Senate Democratic caucus seems to be one of the most serious foreseeable hurdles to any project of constitutional restoration. Not because of a pivotal member or two getting cold feet, but rather a pervasive sclerotic disbelief at what time it is.

He's 82. 82! He went to an immigration appointment because he had lost his wallet and needed to replace his green card.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4?

RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory

VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12?

RFK JR: We try to help other addicts

VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

brain is officially on overwhelmed and miserable mode. gonna edit wikipedia pages, cry, and journal about it in that order.

It took national outcry, but it worked.

of regular hate the two endured in their neighborhood because of their relationship. Whether or not Joss had struggles with mental illness or substance use, his death is a tragedy and enraging. The acceptance of it as normal is infuriating. No one deserves that. Rest in power, Jonathan.

including assumed mental illness and substance use... As if it is reasonable that a person be murdered for being perceived as being unwell. According to Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, the two were assaulted by a neighbor yelling homophobic slurs, an escalation over a long period of time 🧵

perhaps weird of me to use my insignificant platform to comment on a celebrity death, but absolutely disgusted at casual comments I've seen online regarding the murder of Jonathan Joss implying that his being killed was somehow "makes sense" regarding perceptions of his health 🧵

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
