When you make accommodations for neurodivergent people, the experience for neurotypical people also improves.

The AEA Donated Millions to Republicans. Now Republicans Are Attacking Them

#Alabama Republicans continue their long-standing struggle with teachers and the education system, now setting their sights on the AEA... despite the AEA financially supporting them.

Mark Meadows attempts to have charges in Georgia dismissed because he was "just following (Trump's) orders."😱

Sorry, buddy, it didn't work at Nuremberg and it ain't gonna work now.

“If you are a service member stationed in a state that has rolled back or restricted health care access, you are often stationed there because you were assigned there. It is not that you chose to go there...So, a service member in Alabama deserves to have the same access to health care as a service member in California, as a service member stationed in Korea.”

That's right. Fuck #Tuberville and straight to their freaky religious Hell with all #Alabama Republicans.

Interesting way to think about this.

@QasimRashid
I hope judges realize that leniency has no chance of working with Trump. He's shown that he is a habitual and compulsive criminal, so pardoning him or putting him on probation simply leaves him free to follow his compulsive bad and dangerous behavior.

This is unbelievable. Under Georgia state law, the names AND ADDRESSES of the GA grand jury members who indicted Trump and his seditious conspiracy cohorts have been made public. In a hot second that info was posted on a MAGA website.

For years, Red States like mine (Tennessee) have been passing laws designed to prevent people from protesting public figures, corporations, politicians and others tied to offensive views. But the second the shoe is on the other foot ... GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!

I'm sorry dude but going by the data, transphobia seems to actually damage people's brains to the point where they don't think so good no more. These idiots think trans women have an "unfair advantage" in chess https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/international-chess-org-trans-women

Dozens of teachers, students and labor leaders marched to a Miami school district headquarters Wednesday to protest Florida’s new standards for teaching Black history, which have come under intense criticism for what they say about slavery.

This is why I never take my boots off.

PREDICTION: The Sheriff in Fulton County says he will post Trump's mugshot, height and weight just like everyone else arrested there. My prediction is that he will claim the height and weight posted is false designed to make him look shorter and fatter than he claims.
