There was a time when this would be considered false advertising.

As autism ignites a national conversation, Temple Grandin has something to say The world-renowned autism expert shares her thoughts with NBC News after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered controversial remarks on autistic people.

TLDR: Temple Grandin has no comment on politics, but lumps autistics into either β€˜just nerdy geeky kids’ or β€œregressives”.

If anyone can share the the post below, comment, or even like it, that would be great. I’m getting no traction with this and my brother really needs money to save his cat. So far he just has my donation. ☹️

Pepper needs your help! My brother Jacob has a sweet cat named Pepper and she's very sick. One vet says cancer and another isn't sure. She has problems with her kidneys and she's having trouble eating. I'm trying to donate as much as I can, but I can't cover it all. Please help!

Note: a case involving ice cream, puppy dogs and happiness was not on the docket, but you KNOW which two justices would dissent anything good in general.

In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of ice cream, puppies and happiness.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

WATCH: Van Hollen meeting with Vice President of El Salvador
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen WATCH: Van Hollen meeting with Vice President of El Salvador

The VP of El Salvador repeatedly told me "the ball is in your court" when it comes to bringing Abrego Garcia home β€” making clear Trump is violating a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to β€œfacilitate” his return.

I said this in my recent letter to Trump, and here's the video to back it up:

No, you’re not crazy.

They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

I think autistic people are often mistaken for being argumentative or needing to be right when, in reality, it's more about FEELING right and needing the other person to understand WHY.

I will literally rephrase my point a thousand ways until I feel like you understand where I'm coming from.

I'm not being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. I'm desperately trying to get on the same page as you, but my brain literally won't let me drop it until I feel understood.

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Millions Would Lose Health Coverage Under G.O.P. Bill. But Not as Many as Democrats Say.

AOC says "The math is not adding up." "Why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their health care?" Reminder, that 13.7 is not just Medicaid, it's also including temporary subsidies for Obamacare. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

I can’t stop thinking about that commercial where a guy uses AI to design a sneaker before having it write a bedtime story for his kids.

Is he okay? Because who passes off the coolest parts of life to a computer? And how did he get a job designing sneakers to begin with?

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.
