DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

What do Taco and RFK Jr. have in common? They are NOT autism experts! I am, and all other autistic people are too!

Fear and cynicism are for losers and cowards.

Racism, sexism, misogyny, ableism, LGBT‑phobia, disinformation, hate, bigotry, religious extremism, and political extremism are all social diseases that spread prejudice like cancer in a chain reaction throughout society, eroding trust and damaging the health of every marginalized community.

Pessimism is for cowards. Optimism is for heroes.

PBS News is not going anywhere.

We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air.

We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

You are entirely mistaken about hate being "powerful." It is never powerful to begin with. Hate has always been a contagious social disease, and we need to start recognizing it as such.

(5/5) Bigotry is not a symptom but a choice, a social contagion, and a moral failure rooted in belief systems, not brains.

(4/5) Equating bigotry with mental illness wrongly pathologizes it and, in doing so, unfairly stigmatizes those living with mental health conditions, who are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.

(3/5)

- Social disease, on the other hand, originates from inherently violent ideas and beliefs that seek power through dominance, dehumanization, and the destruction of others. It spreads through culture, ideology, and systemic structures, inflicting collective harm on individuals and communities.

(2/5) The difference is crucial:

- Mental illness stems from trauma, psychological distress, and neurochemical imbalances. Its harm is often internal, manifesting in self-destructive behaviors, emotional suffering, and impaired functioning.

(1/5) I will be the first to say it: bigotry and every form of discriminatory behavior is not a mental illness; it is a social disease. We must stop conflating bigotry with mental illness and start calling it what it truly is.

Who else AGREES with David?! 🤚

One. Of. The. Good. Guys. 😎✨

(2/2) The human brain is capable of creating ideas that can become either social diseases, destroying progress, or social wellness, fostering progress.

(1/2) White supremacy, male supremacy, misogyny, Nazism, and Christian nationalism are no longer ideas. They are communicable social diseases infesting human minds that intentionally destroy life like every deadly infectious disease throughout history.

We have a winner…🏆

The concept of God dictating people's lives to see who goes to heaven or hell is nothing but an imaginary friend created by cowardly, childish men who have difficulty accepting women for who they are as human beings and the complex beauty of nature.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Nazism is a diesease of the human mind.

I don't need men, especially toxic ones, to tell me what is masculine or not. Masculinity is more than just power and aggression.
