Imagine enlisting in the Army to protect and serve and then being ordered to march in a parade to celebrate the birthday of a tyrant actively working to oppress and subjugate others.

Los Angeles, right now.

Sailor Moon and other Sailor Scouts. Several police officers are attacking them, and beating them with billy clubs. Sailor Moon says, "No way! No way! Why are these police officers attacking us? What's wrong with our government hiring people like this?!"

US politics, double entendre, puns

When they're rioting, you can do anything. They let you. Grab them by the posse comitatus.

  • Trump, discussing deploying troops on American soil, probably

If you would like to protest Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power, consider finding a No King's protest near you this Saturday. Instead of the news focusing on his military parade on his birthday, nationwide protests will help steal his thunder and hopefully bring the focus back to the people, instead of this would-be monarch.

No Kings No Kings

This is apparently Trump's version of diplomacy: talking to other world leaders like you're an angry kid on the playground on fake Twitter.

I think I've figured out why RFK Jr has such a poorly informed perception of autism and autistic people: why he thinks autism "destroys families" and why autistic people will "never hold a job" or "use a toilet unassisted".

The problem is that he only knows one autistic person. And he's seen how that person is unable to fit into society and how that person destroys lives.

But he doesn't realize that Elon Musk's problems actually have nothing at all to do with his autism. And most autistic people don't actually have the same devastating impact on others that Elon has. Elon Musk is just a terrible person, and that's completely unrelated to his autism.

I mean, if I thought all autistic people were like Elon Musk, I'd be desperately searching for a cure too.

Thankfully, I've known some wonderful autistic people who are interesting and curious and enrich the lives of those around them.

Maybe if Bobby met some autistic people who weren't Elon Musk, he'd change his tune.
