I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Homeland Security accused of tweeting antisemitic dog whistles - Jewish Telegraphic Agency As part of its ICE recruitment campaign, the department referenced an antisemitic book. It wasn't the first such incident.

As an American Jew, this scares me a lot more than protestors on college campuses, because it has the full force of the state behind it: www.jta.org/2025/08/14/p...

The greatest source of medical misinformation on the planet at this point is the health secretary of the United States.

Even the BBC who hates Israel and Jews, says that Hamas is stealing food aid, but do go on blaming Israel.

(2/2) It’s why the N@zis murdered disabled people & why the US was sterilizing disabled people regularly into the 80s. “Weakness” is a moral failing according to eugenics. This bizarre test is an artifact of eugenics. Remember, eugenics was created here, in America

(1/2) Trump is bringing back the presidential fitness test. I hear complaints about this, basically that it’s dumb or unfair. Here’s the tidbit that most are missing. This is yet another component of eugenics. How? Bodily perfection & peak physical fitness are part of eugenics…

@nytimes.com this is they kind of thing that caused people to attack Jews. It makes us unsafe. Do better.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

When I taught childbirth education, vaccines were one of the topics. With empathy and understanding, I was able to convince most of my hesitant students to vaccinate their babies. It is possible, but it the educator must do it gently or it pushes the parent deeper into their anti-vax beliefs

In other news, the official Twitter (X) account for Elmo was hacked today spewing horrifically antisemitic tweets. They were deleted shortly after. The screenshots are out there, I’ll not repost them. Suffice it to say that the hate is real and people need to stop gaslighting us about it.

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

This cabinet card caught my eye. There’s quite a bit of 19th photo editing going on here. This little boy (indicated by the large lacy collar and style of dress) has an entire floral motif surrounding him that is overlaid to form the teardrop frame. There is a blur to the background behind him.

Funny, I had the opposite reaction. I was grateful to see Daf Reactions on IG to help settle my brain from the news. Your actual audience appreciates what you do. Ignore this guy. People who are angry all the time aren’t healthy to be around.

‘I Feel Like I’ve Been Lied To’: When a Measles Outbreak Hits Home

“I feel like I’ve been lied to,” Kiley told his wife as his fever rose to 104 degrees. He tried to manage his symptoms at home with cod liver oil and vitamin D, supplements endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr… and coughed and dry-heaved his way through the night.” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

BREAKING: After their threats to take this step, the regime in Iran has reportedly begun jamming navigation systems in the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia has put its armed forces on maximum alert.

A state of emergency has been declared in Bahrain and Qatar.

I was interviewed this morning on KDKA radio with my friend and journalist, Dave Rullo regarding #antisemitic crimes at my home and in the broader community.

"Globalize the intifada” is not a call for justice. It is a call for antisemitic violence. At a moment of deepening danger for the Jewish community, all leaders must condemn both this language and the abuse of history it represents.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

You assume those antisemitic conspiracy theorists aren’t already awake. I beg to differ on that point.

Dr. Fiona Havers, who is wearing a blue-green short-sleeved dress, is sitting in a large brown chair and looking directly at the viewer. A headline reads: "Why a Vaccine Expert Left the CDC.: 'Americans Are Going to Die.'" Photo by Melissa Golden for The New York Times

Dr. Fiona Havers resigned on Monday after 13 years at the CDC, saying she could no longer continue while the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dismantled the careful processes that help formulate vaccination standards. Read her first interview since resigning. nyti.ms/4k0mbCn

Senior Voters Are Turning Out In Force To Protest Trump—And Could Be Democrats' Secret Weapon Think voters get more conservative with age? Think again.

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

Mexican War Street resident targeted with antisemitism — again “He called the Israeli flag a hate symbol and said that’s why he did it,” she said.

It takes a community to stop antisemitism.

Opinion | Antisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses.

As one who had experienced antisemitic attacks personally, multiple times in the last 2 yrs, I urge you to read this article and consider your behavior and beliefs.

Antisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

Did I miss the Amnesty, UN, or Red Cross campaign condemning the missile attacks on Israeli civilians?
No urgent statements about schools, hospitals, or homes being off-limits?
No reminder that murder isn’t self-defense?

Or is that all negotiable when the victims are Jews?

Wow. A miniature portrait of the right-wing in this moment.
