13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago.

This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

Being autistic means I have struggles but I'm not trash where you can just sweep me away with your ableism.

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

I disagree that an Autism registry would be created to fix autism. I think the Trump and RFK, Jr. administrations want to register autistic people so they can kidnap them off the street and put them in concentration camps, like Jews in Germany.

He doesn’t remember hearing about them, so they must not have existed.

Okay boomer.

Btw, Tourette’s was first identified in 1885, Narcolepsy in 1880, ADHD as far back as 1798 (although more clearly in 1902), and Autism Spectrum Disorder in 1911. So, yeah, they did exist when he was a kid.

RFK seeks the 'environmental' cause of autism. Scientists say it's not that simple Researchers and advocates have pushed back at what they consider inaccurate and stigmatizing comments made by the health secretary, and note the causes of autism are complex.

Kennedy press conference: "better awareness… cannot be driving a disability like autism to increase by 300% in 20 years"

The Affordable Care Act took effect in 2014, (21 years), giving health insurance to Americans, to afford to get their kids tested for autism. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

New York is saying no.
We need more of that.

DEI isn’t Black. If you are not white AND male, or if you have a disability, they want to make it harder for you. Don’t get me started about age or national origin.

Female? Fuck off.
Male and disabled? Fuck off
Etc.

"You can't let your disability win! Adapt and push though!" Is ableist as fuck. I'm not forcing damage because you are terrified of the reality that you could end up disabled by no fault of your own. It might take me DAYS to recover. But sure. Maintaining your denial is more important. πŸ™„

Amid anti-DEI push, National Park Service rewrites history of Underground Railroad Since Trump took office, the park service, an agency charged with preserving American history, has changed how its website describes key moments from slavery to Jim Crow

1/5
🚨 NEW: The National Park Service has quietly edited dozens of webpages, removing references to slavery, racism, and Black resistance.

Harriet Tubman’s photo? Gone.
The word β€œslavery”? Scrubbed.

Why do they need the adulation? Just pay your bloody taxes so people are supported.

Plus in the long run paying more
Jobseeker when there is not enough jobs to go around. And because jobseeker is way too low there is then the costs of more community services as their intake goes up , health costs for unemployed etc..

And he lied about the savings from firing 41,000 public servants. He claimed a $7b a year savings. That is $170,000 per person fired. There is no way he is going to fire that many middle managers... And of course the termination payouts will considerably offset the savings in the first year...

Big pharma’s plea to Trump to punish Australia for cheaper medicines US medical giants say Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is an β€œegregious and discriminatory” program that Trump should target in the next wave of tariffs.

Trump wants to end "damaging pricing policies" like our PBS, so large US pharmaceuticals can profit and kill Australian's?

Is that right?

Knock-offs from India & China are fine, & anyway, If the US can't tax their billionaires, why would we pay for their deficits

For every 500 messages, one says 'Wait until we hear the details.' But this misses the point. If (and only if) you have the spoons, protesting now is vitalβ€”not just to pressure MPs to revolt but to shape what even gets announced. We are not passive; we mould. #DisabilityBenefits
