It’s almost like there is no one specific way to be autistic and autism doesn’t have a look.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

Long COVID advocacy is incomplete without sex workers
To Olive and other Black queer community members, many Long COVID advocates pay lip service to the disease's disproportionate effects on Black, Brown, and trans communities while excluding those voices from larger policy discussions.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

this also happens at border checkpoints (not CROSSINGS, just literally places on interstates near the border) in texas btw
Frey: "Last week a group of our city's Public Works employees were stopped by ICE agents. 3 of the 4 employees were not white. The ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the 3 non-white employees and didn't even bother to ask the white employee for identification."
