Thank goodness!

These California research stations prepare for fire risk. The Trump administration is shutting them down The U.S. Forest Service will close the majority of its research facilities in California as part of sweeping changes.

The Trump administration announced this week it will shut down six of eight U.S. Forest Service research facilities in California as part of a major national reorganization that could leave the state underequipped to manage escalating wildfire and drought threats.

And still, autistic people are excluded, and a woman who fantasized about committing murder suicide because she didn't want her autistic daughter is included.

Sounds like more of the same.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Every one of the journalists arrested by the regime in last 24 hours was Black and that is not a coincidence.

Trinidadian Families File Wrongful Death Lawsuit Over Boat Strike by U.S. Military

The Trump administration has carried out dozens of lethal strikes off the coast of Venezuela killing over 126 people, including Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo.

We’re suing this administration to get justice for the families of the people our government murdered.

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility | CBC News Jim Pattison Developments has announced it will not sell an industrial building in Ashland, Va., that was set to be turned into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility.

Man says he was detained by U.S. border agents, demanded to show blood quantum documents | APTN News YouTube video by APTN News

A Gwich'in man from Inuvik in the Northwest Territories says he was temporarily detained by United States border agents last week when they demanded he produce blood-quantum documentation.

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A typhoon hit Alaska -- displacing over 1,000 people, washing away homes and entire communities.

And why isn't this all over the news?

They're Indigenous communities.

Happy Indigenous People Day.

Dear parents of autistic kids,

The only thing you did to cause your kid's autism is f***.

Good talk.

According to the "big beautiful bill," Planned Parenthood can no longer bill Medicaid. Millions of people lose access to essential healthcare, without notice.

The autistic community deserves to be heard!

I'm heading to DC to represent Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network at the Autism Roundtable.
HHS now has an autism registry. The same HHS Director has publicly stigmatized our community.

RFK Jr. says HHS will determine the cause of autism by September

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Minnesota Autism Activist on Money, Power and What Special Ed Kids Really Need Jules Edwards of Anishinaabe Eagle Clan told lawmakers just setting standards for providers misses a larger issue: Growth of applied behavior analysis

Such a long week I haven't circulated my own work!

Minnesota lawmakers are taking up thorny question of creating minimum safety & quality standards for a questionable autism 'therapy' that appeals more to private equity than to #actuallyautistic people.

@autistictyping.bsky.social has thoughts.

demographics in California.

Of the one fire camp for minors - yes, literal children - 95% are BIPOC.

Incarcerated workers are risking their lives for subminimum wage and the hope of freedom.

4/4

This is an intersectional issue.

We already know that BIPOC and disabled people are overrepresented in the incarcerated population. While I can't find the specific demographic information of the fire camps, one article said the fire camps demographics are similar to overall incarceration

3/

My thoughts are not only with everyone whose lives and homes are lost and at risk, but also the fire fighters who are risking their lives for as little as a slightly reduced prison sentence and less than $1 per day. 30% of the people fighting the California fires are incarcerated.

Last week, I watched a TikTok from a man who was convicted of a crime and he negotiated for a longer sentence so that he could serve his sentence on a California fire camp and ultimately have a slightly shorter sentence.
