I also know many people on the autistic spectrum who are very sensitive to others, and very kind and polite in social settings. And I think it’s because they’ve had to give a lot of thought to interacting with people, and showing that they care.

Neurotypicals haven’t. They take it for granted.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

If you express a sense of caution against opposition to an illegal war that doesn't even have a stated goal, you're just a regular off-the-shelf fascist.
