I have always considered myself a Centrist. But the GOP have moved so much to the Right that they now consider the Center as part of the "far Left."
Trump (and RFK) do not actually care about autism or autistic people. Whatthey care about, respectively, is claiming to have "cured" it and making money off of it.

🚨 Trump is throwing a major wrench in the talks in Switzerland as they begin. While Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff meet with Iranian officials, Trump posts threatens to “hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”
Donald Trump is a shameless pathological liar who never takes responsibility for his obvious failures. Exhibit A: Iran. Exhibit B: The reflecting pool. In the latter case, the fact that people have been arrested as “vandals” so he can shift the blame off himself is disgraceful.
Folks documented peroxide exposure, peeling paint, & dead birds. Truth doesn't vanish because those responsible deny & deflect. Trump blaming anyone but himself is on brand with his pathological lying. He could’ve just cleaned out the reflecting pool, but as usual, he ruins everything he touches.
Every time Trump threatens to attack Iran he is violating the terms of his surrender. Here's the very first graph of the MOU he signed:
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 2mo agoPeace negotiations are going swimmingly
For the next 135 days, our first and most important goal is to end Republican control of Congress, thereby limiting Trump’s reign of criminality, corruption, cruelty, and treachery. This is a moral imperative for every one of us who believes in a decent society.
Sunday thought: 135 Days
Until we throw the bums out and limit Trump's reign of criminality, corruption, cruelty, and treachery

Brennan: "Our CBS News poll out this morning shows that more than three-quarters of Americans want to end the conflict now, with 69% saying the conflict with Iran was not worth the costs"
And then President Trump is going to beat up Iran's dad in front of the whole school and then President Trump is going to take us all out for McDonalds and then President Trump is finally going to tell me that he loves me and then
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoLindsey Graham: "I spent 4.5 hours with President Trump. Here's what I think will happen. If this deal fails, he's gonna take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation... if Iran contests control of the strait we'll obliterate them"
The Iranian Foreign Minister makes Vance wait, then when he arrives he refuses to shake Vance’s hand or greet him. The US has never looked smaller or weaker on the world stage.
Actually to add to this, Kate Bush’s “The Man With The Child In His Eyes” is 100% about an autistic man: “And suddenly I find myself Listening to a man I've never known before Telling me about the sea All his love, till eternity”

Actually, this whole desperate thread is probably quite apt for #autism awareness day. My autism has not changed, but being autistic is now making it impossible to function in a world gone mad. I was doing ok when world leaders were qualified for the job and not everything was a scam.
Dr Cinzia Yates 🇮🇲🏴@manxinwales.bsky.social · 2mo agoI am clearly not well and really struggling with the world. I spoke to some medical professionals and while I have a number of endogenous issues to contend with, most of the problem is caused by our society having changed in one distinct way. Thick, lazy arseholes being insanely successful. 🧵 1/14
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
“actually many autistic people i know are productive members of society” is not an effective counter to the deranged eugenic ramblings of rfk jr instead, start with “rfk jr is a nazi and the intrinsic value of a person and their right to exist with dignity has nothing to do with their productivity”
I'm old enough to remember when the White House wasn't the trashiest place in America.
Unearthed footage shows Elias Irizarry joining a mob to breach the US Capitol. Now, he’s been rewarded with a top counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. You literally cannot make this up. Apparently, invading a government building is great resume building for national security now. 🙄
This Is How Musk & Trump Could Have Cheated in the 2024 Election The Election Truth Alliance has spent the past 2 years doing a forensic analysis of 26 states & found disturbing anomalies & vulnerabilities in our voting machines that can still be exploited. thelefthook.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...
It's fascinating to watch some pundits overthink Hunter Biden's social media presence. Their brains are so rewired by focus group pablum and D.C. newsletter speak that a political figure talking like a normal person with honesty + humor is some kind of Oz the Mentalist parlor trick.
In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

BREAKING: MS Now confirms Trump will formally nominate his former personal lawyer Todd Blanche to be his next attorney general. Todd Blanche mishandled the Epstein files, supported the controversial slush fund to give to insurrectionists, and targeted Trump's perceived enemies.
Trump plans to nominate Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, source says
Blanche, the president’s former personal attorney, has been leading the Justice Department in an acting capacity since April following Pam Bondi’s ouster.

Trump nominating Blanche to be AG is the height of hubris. I doubt it will get to a vote. But if it does it will be a referendum on corruption that will stick to every Republican who votes for his confirmation. Blanche belongs on trial, not atop DoJ.
Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot all humiliated scientists on their war to blood purges and cults of personality. Can Russell Vought achieve the same thing right here in the US?
Screwworm confirmed in Texas in the midst of having the worst imaginable people in charge. I guess we’re gonna have to keep getting hammered by infectious disease until we realize public health has a point.
