hey i’m thinking of getting into crime does anyone know if the FBI director is blacked out currently

My friend Matthew will be needing additional surgery. Anything you can give to help with medical costs and costs of living will be appreciated.

They have given tirelessly of themself to save disabled people like me. Even just sharing this will help slow them that same love and support in return.

Of course! Hag in there !

Please donate to Matthew’s hospital care, if you are able.

you draw up that ad for amtrak?
sure did boss, diarrhea money shot just like you asked

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

It is unsurprising to anyone from Massachusetts that elements of our state government fight basic transparency.

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

A man who was deported after being released from a Massachusetts state prison wonders how the state can justify working in partnership with ICE. “The governor has the power to hold back. But they played a role to allow this to happen to me.”

The autistic community is a large, growing, and heterogeneous population, and there is a need for improved methods to describe their diverse needs. Measures of adaptive functioning collected through public health surveillance may provide valuable information on functioning and support needs at a population level. We aimed to use adaptive behavior and cognitive scores abstracted from health and educational records to describe trends over time in the population prevalence of autism by adaptive level and co-occurrence of intellectual disability (ID). Using data from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, years 2000 to 2016, we estimated the prevalence of autism per 1000 8-year-old children by four levels of adaptive challenges (moderate to profound, mild, borderline, or none) and by co-occurrence of ID. The prevalence of autism with mild, borderline, or no significant adaptive challenges increased between 2000 and 2016, from 5.1 per 1000 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.6–5.5) to 17.6 (95% CI: 17.1–18.1) while the prevalence of autism with moderate to profound challenges decreased slightly, from 1.5 (95% CI: 1.2–1.7) to 1.2 (95% CI: 1.1–1.4). The prevalence increase was greater for autism without co-occurring ID than for autism with co-occurring ID. The increase in autism prevalence between 2000 and 2016 was confined to autism with milder phenotypes. This trend could indicate improved identification of milder forms of autism over time. It is possible that increased access to therapies that improve intellectual and adaptive functioning of children diagnosed with autism also contributed to the trends.

Increasing autism rates over the last 25 years may just be kids with mild forms getting diagnosed. Rates of moderate to severe impairment due to autism have actually fallen slightly.

I didn’t know this so thank you @taniel.bsky.social for publishing this. And @massgovernor.bsky.social end this contract immediately!
Horrifyingly shameful that you haven’t ended this “agreement” already!!!!!!!

Write a proposal and get a literary agent. You could get a good deal with the right agent. If you want help, dm me (I still have a few connects). I’m serious!

If I was still a book editor I’d sign you ….

If a brown singer at a halftime show offends you enough to protest but white men raping young girls doesn’t, then it isn’t family values you defend it’s white supremacy and sexual abuse.

Half of People Killed by Police Have a Disability: Report "Police have become the default responders to mental health calls"

And it’s not just mental heath crises. Fully half of the people killed by police in the US have a disability.

What folx need to understand is that cops are not well-trained in deescalation or conflict resolution.

All they have that we don’t is that gun, and permission to use it to end a conflict.

Lol. He is a very happy 6-month old puppy!

My puppy would like to fix that situation for you.

Massachusetts Could Be the Next State to Give Abuse Survivors a Pathway Out of Prison The Massachusetts Survivors Act emulates recent resentencing reforms across the country that allow for reduced sentences for people with convictions related to their abuse.

Since 2019, New York, Oklahoma, and Georgia have all passed resentencing reforms for incarcerated survivors of abuse. In Massachusetts, advocates hope a similar bill can be passed this year.

Huge gratitude to @prisonpolicy.org for helping craft and uplift this resource, and for the upcoming webinar on Feb. 25 to discuss #carceralhumanism. Looking forward to joining!

Yes, fully agree!

Yes. How about we do that? We need to.

How about we (blue states) simply stop paying for the boots stomping on our necks

Please oh please let MA be next 🙏

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: BYSTANDERS IN ICE ENCOUNTERS

Bystanders to ICE enforcement actions have the right to observe ICE officers and record the encounter from a reasonable distance, so long as they do not interfere with the officers.
