WTF… does that defy, “do no harm”?
April 17, 2025 at 3:19 AM
I had to distance myself from family and friends to protect my family’s safety and peace because of the harmful, dehumanizing, hateful rhetoric coming from a man with ZERO medical experience or credentials.

And why did he jump directly to the “death penalty” as if it is deportation or death…

Why no live broadcast? Is he afraid that he may say something untrue and it be recorded 🧐

The further down this rabbit hole you go, the further enraged you’ll be.

How he is a viable choice, given his history, is very telling.

This is terrible for the autism community.

There is obviously still so much work to do - just the rhetoric around autism in the states shows the lack of understanding 😤

I am sorry about your friend in Malta. I am self-diagnosed, because the expense of validating what I know is beyond my reach right now.

You’re the second person to recommend this podcast.

I have many friends who use ACC, and a handful whose children are spellers.

There also seems to be mixed feelings on it.

Curious what stood out to you?

I hate this answer as much as I agree with it 🤣🫠

Normal is subjective, but we are measured by it, defined by it, bound to it.

Seems an unfair standard 🤷‍♀️

We only solve white people problems when white people are in power.

It seems that’s what this administration wants - it’s up to us to not give them that power.

Connect, introduce, cede our seats at the table so the solutions support ALL people.

Because at its core, that is what Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging mean…

To make sure all voices, experiences, problems, ideas, and solutions are represented - not just a select few.

One of my favorite sayings is, “The people closest to the problem are the ones best positioned to solve the problem.”

I think (and tell me if I’m wrong) that we WHITE CIS WOMEN, need to listen to our Black, Brown, LGBTQIA+ disabled friends and families - and do what we know how to do 👇

We watched it play out with:
Ryan Gainer,
Tanisha Anderson,
Eric Garner,
Freddie Gray,
Laquan McDonald,
Sandra Bland
Elijah McClain
Victor Perez
(To name a few)

When POC call for help - they are treated as a threat to subdue.

And when we weaponize words, defund words it IS to maintain the status quo - to uphold the power dynamic.
