Heading into teaching retreat today.
We’ll sit in silence, track the breath, watch the self try to rebuild itself—and let it fall quiet again.
Not chasing anything. Just remembering what the body already knows.
Grateful for the chance to listen that deeply, together.

1. RIGHT-WING INFLUENCE AS WRONG EFFORT
When energy feeds hatred, it’s not strength—it’s sickness rehearsed as righteousness.
Thoughts about pro authoritarian media and what it cultivates as direct contradictions to the path of awakening.

You try to box in autistic people and you’ll find out what happens when pattern recognition meets righteous rage.
We don’t melt down—we mobilize with flowcharts, case law, and a thousand-person spreadsheet resistance.
You’ve been warned.

Never again isn’t a slogan.

For every person they’d rather erase.
We are not going anywhere.

If they come for us, we fight back.
With truth. With memory. With our voices. With our unique perspective they’ll never understand nor anticipate.
We name what this is:
A page from the playbook of eugenics. We will bury them.

The Nazis started with registries.
Then they sterilized the “unfit.”
Then they killed them in hospitals.
Then they built the camps.
It always begins with categorizing people as burdens.

I’m autistic.
My kids are autistic.
The most amazing people I’ve known and loved are neurospicy as hell.
We are not lab rats. We are not broken.
And we will not be put on a list for the comfort of fascists.

RFK Jr. wants a national autism registry.
Track the “abnormal.” Store the data.
History screams a warning.
This is how genocidal systems begin.

“A group is a lie”
..often attributed to Emerson (though no proof he said it).
Still, it reflects his and Thoreau’s philosophies, which emphasize self-reliance, personal integrity, and skepticism toward collective identities that suppress individuality.
