Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

November is Native American Heritage Month. This month is meant to uplift and celebrate the cultures, languages, stories, and struggles of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities. At ASAN, we uplift and celebrate all autistic and disabled Indigenous people!
In a month meant for tricks and treats, we’re focused on the threats toward our community and many others. It’s all a lot less scary when we do it together, build community, and support one another in the ways we can. Read about what we’ve been up to this month! autisticadvocacy.org/2025/10/asan...
