Rep. Sykes joined a bipartisan group of Members to send a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging them to include House Members in negotiations ahead of the promised health care vote in December to address the expiring ACA subsidies.

It’s wild actually to think about. So much of how I was raised is the legacy of slavery. Middle class 90s professionals were raising me like their parents raised them & their parents raised them going back to the plantation with all this assumption children are property who need to stay in line.
IGT (Intergenerational Trauma) is something that affects all Black people and perfectionism falls into that. In examining the traits of IGT I discovered a lot of trauma passed down that I didn't even know was trauma.

Latino voters should have soured on him at the polls 😑
Trump became the first Republican since George W. Bush in 2004 to win Nevada, partially because he won Latino voters there. Now @sahilkapur.bsky.social writes, Latinos have soured on Trump due to tariffs and the bad economy.

In Nevada, economic concerns threaten to wipe away Trump and the GOP's Latino voter gains
As inflation and tariffs affect business owners and Las Vegas tourism dwindles, a Las Vegas culinary union leader argues that a ''Trump slump'' is alienating Hispanic voters.

Autism advocacy isn’t complete without intersectionality 👍🏽, publicly commit to an anti-racist framework, share your progress transparently, and invite community feedback especially from Black autistic people

If your organization claims to support all autistic people, anti-racism must be a core value, require annual anti-racism and cultural humility training for staff, volunteers, and leadership etc

Reminder for autism organizations:
“Neurodiversity-affirming” must include anti-racist.
Black autistic community members report real harm in diagnostic processes, services, and peer spaces.
Your policies and culture need to reflect that reality

Some white autistic people say “I can’t be racist, I’m autistic.”
But Black autistic people keep saying: the harm is still happening.
Accountability isn’t ableism.
It’s how we make our spaces safer for everyone.

Being autistic doesn’t make anyone immune to racial bias 🤷🏽♀️
Black autistic people deserve communities where we aren’t talked over, doubted, or treated like our experiences don’t count.

This is from a 70-minute Zoom interview I did with Alice for The Viral Underclass in the summer of 2020. I will transcribe it and make it freely available soon, so that people can learn from Alice in her own words.
“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

We learn languages in community. That's why your app isn't teaching you how to speak a foreign language, because you're not using the language in community. That's why you can't use AAVE without sounding foolish to Black people, because we learn it in a community context & we learn the rules it has.

That's why I'm committed to mutual aid, I don't feel above people who need help, I feel like them, & sometimes need help myself.
That probably has at least something to do with your commitment to mutual aid though! 🫂

I'd also point out (gently) that the language of failure applied to the only two women nominated by a major US party is inherently problematic.
Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.
Former first lady Michelle Obama said America is "not ready for a woman" president during a conversation at her New York book event. https://cnn.it/43ApuKZ

As I finished my re-watch of Desperate Housewives yesterday, I was taken aback by the introduction of a non-speaking Autistic character named Laura Delfino. Completely forgot about her. Sad bc they added her in the 2nd to last episode as a throwaway. Buckle up I've got thoughts! 🫣😁
