Being Black, autistic, and learning to unmask means carefully differentiating between unmasking autism and maintaining the social habits that keep us from harm as Black people. This presents another layer of unsafety in masking that non-Black autistics won’t fully understand.

New Mexico’s governor signed the bill this morning. It is going to be rolled out on May 20.
New Mexico is set to bar state funds from going to ICE detention facilities and local sheriffs from working with ICE. Here is my story about the Immigrant Safety Act, which was approved by the Senate last night.

So fucking grateful people like Eric are still doing journalism in a landscape where no one would blame them for forsaking it
I spoke with Aliya Rahman, the autistic woman whom ICE ripped out of her car, about her experience of being in a viral video, what she experienced in detention and why she thinks we might be in bigger trouble in the future.

What the online leftist fails to grasp is that, no, the entire game is not already lost and what the online liberal fails to grasp is that it does not matter whether or not the next President is a literal fascist, but that it is someone who can successfully halt and reverse this process.

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.
Two top podcasters have identified a global decline. The problem, they say, is women

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns.

Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.
Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?
A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.
R: Pulling out literal guns?
A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

From @theflytrapmedia.com: "I'm writing this from inside a women's prison, where every single behavior indicating intimate partner violence happens daily. Not from intimate partners, but from the mostly male staff paid by the state to 'supervise' us."
Ain't We Women, Too?
For many incarcerated women, the state is their abuser, but the gender-based violence we experience behind bars goes ignored.

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.
I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Not surprising that the guy who targets immigrants also disparages Jews.
Remember the thing about how a threat to any of us is a threat to all of us?
Immigrant safety and Jewish safety have always been connected.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.
