PEOPLE

ARE GOING

TO

DIE

THEY ARE FUCKING COWARDS, SPINELESS BOOTLICKERS.

ASSHOLES WHO WANNA ENRICH THEMSELVES AT THE COST OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE. YOUR FRIENDS' LIVES. YOUR FAMILY'S LIVES.

SELFISH, EVIL MOTHERFUCKERS. FOXX INCLUDED.

GET ANGRY.

STAY ANGRY.

if it passes the Senate idk what the fuck my future is gonna look like

staring down the barrel of death's gun, probably

extra taxes on food / clothes / necessities? less and less snap per year/renewal?

I ONLY WORK PART TIME, THREE DAYS A WEEK. I AM DISABLED. I'M STILL WAITING FOR DISABILITY PAY THAT'LL LIKELY NEVER COME NOW.

no medicaid / medicare -> no doc visits if i get super sick, some of the rural emergency med places have / will have closed, cancellations out the ass, no therapy, no meds ( or i'm unable to pay out of pocket ), no chances for eye or dental insurance .......

ending up rationing my meds or going cold turkey if i cant find another alternative

THIS IS HORRIFYING

no to mention snap getting slashed, how am i gonna be able to purchase snacks / food? how am i gonna be able to afford my one weekly set dinner, let alone two? i only get $200-300 per renewal, and stretching that is thin enough.

I'M FUCKING SCARED SHITLESS

what happens when they no longer accept ebt in food deserts, ie -> places whose only options are cheap, pre-processed foods with long shelf lives or convenience stores bc actual grocers are too far away/too expensive?

children are starving. schools have cut lunches and breakfasts!

food banks are already having their funding cut for meals!!

THIS BLOODBATH OF A BILL SHOULD NEVER HAVE MADE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE

TRICKLE DOWN IS A FUCKING LIE.

YOU WERE FED LIES, HAVE BEEN FED LIES.

i might as well be dead to these cocksucking motherfuckers‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Autism is not something that needs a fucking cure. Autism is something that needs to be better understood & accommodated for. If you are too impatient to understand that, then that's a failing on your behalf

Let's talk about that autism registry thing...

I've seen a few posts now where people are talking about this RFK autism registry thing in very all-or-nothing ways, to the point of wondering if their life is over.

I'm not going to pull punches, it's probably going to be harmful, but your fight; our fight isn't over.

Let's talk about it

The context:

RFK has made a promise to find out the cause of increasing autism rates by September. To do this, he isn't asking experts, he wants to compile a database of autistic people and our private health records to study the issue.

RFK would like to make this database available to researchers (including researchers he hand selects) to study increasing autism rates.

I'm not going to lie. This is bad. This is bad science. This is probably going to be harmful to autistic people and community… but it's also complicated.

The complications:

Having a disease database isn't a new thing, even in the US. There are databases like this for more threatening conditions to public health, such as cancers, infectious diseases, and bio-threats already. They are used in science and public health monitoring and can be good.

In a number of countries (especially Scandinavia), public health databases like these exist, including of autistic, ADHD, trans, and other vulnerable groups. These databases can do a lot to further research with vulnerable communities…

but they can also be a massive liability.

The Difference:

The current US administration.

The current US administration has clearly and repeatedly shown they don't mind (or actively wish to) harming vulnerable communities. RFK has stated numerous times his dangerous and dangerously misinformed opinions about autistic people.

So, while public health databases can be used for good things, I don't think this one is going to be. However, it probably isn't the end times either.

The Probable Future:

More than likely this database is going to be used (first) to further disinformation about autism, including vaccine myths. Spreading disinformation about autism, especially from a government, is going to be immeasurably harmful, no doubt.

But we've been here before. We've fought mis/disinformation and we have the tools and community to do it again.

What worries people:

What worries people is what happens after. The current US administration has been shown repeatedly that they are willing to use private data that they have on citizens to harm people.

They have used data like this for ICE raids and targeted doxing already. No one can promise that this database will not be used the same way.

That said, the path between where we are now and using this proposed database for targeted harm is windy and uncertain. We are not there yet, and there are still things that we can do.

What we can do:

1) Take care of yourself.

Make sure that you are meeting your physical, mental, and sensory needs, at least to a bare minimum level, before giving too many spoons to others.

2) Build community.

You probably have autistic family members. Talk to them.

Is there an autistic-led organization in your area? Autistic-led peer support? Reach out to them. Talk to other autistic people and share resources

If there isn't autistic-led organizations in your area, can you start something? It doesn't have to be big or perfect or consistent.

Heck, even an autistic-run D&D campaign, or social group, or bowling night would build community, just so long as it gets people meeting!

Just don't leave anyone behind. Include the most vulnerable (those in group/care homes, non-speaking, etc.) among us in these communities.

3) Communicate with your physical or mental health care team.

They may not be able to amend past health records, but they can certainly change the notes they take in future.

Be careful though, as these notes are an important part of disability programs and may be necessary for those purposes.

4) Continue making noise.

Get the media involved. Be loud at people who could be involved with the database (researchers, government officials, committee members). Talk to your representatives.

5) What'd I forget?

What are other things we can do the push back in this moment?

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

conservative christians are so annoying because they want to be persecuted for their religion desperately but they live in the most aggressively christian place on earth. so they'll be like "I can't believe you hate me for being christian" and you'll respond "no I don't care what your religion is, I was raised protestant just like everyone else around here, I hate you because you voted for a fascist who wants to kill everyone I love and start world war three" and they'll just keep on with "why do you hate me for being christian" "I literally don't, it's the fascism thing. I'm going to stop speaking with you." "you can try to punish me for my faith but I will never abandon the LORD." "good for you keep it up but could you stop voting for fascists while you do that." "this is just like when the romans fed us to lions."
