Great article by Jenny Gold on #autism diagnosis delays. With some excellent quotes.

Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their historic win. In this incredibly difficult moment in American history, I wish them the best as they attempt to bring our nation together around an agenda of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.
Battery running low? Here’s a unicorn style boost! I spoke with @SilaGene CEO of @SilaNanotech who says their version provides a 20-40% improvement versus current batteries & will soon be used in smartphones, laptops and one day electric cars too. @firstmove
Scientists knew long ago, and told us, that the sea would invade the coasts, that a hotter atmosphere would send heavier rains, and that the landscape of California would dry out more in a hotter climate and become prone to wildfires. https://t.co/KHAjYG4Gs3
We know that the Russians are trying to interfere in our elections again in 2020.
But @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell is burying any election security bill that would confront this threat in his legislative graveyard.
Why?
John Kelly was the architect of the Trump Administration's cruel child separation policy. Now he will profit off the separation of families. It's unethical. We are better than this. https://t.co/ApO9YHUw35
.@SecNielsen just now to @BennieGThompson: "Sir, they're not cages."
Full stop, that is not true.
Take it from me -- I've seen them.
They're cages.
And during zero tolerance, kids separated from their parents were put in them by Trump in a systematic way never done before.

We need a president who understands that climate change is real, is an existential threat to our country and the entire planet, and that we can generate massive job creation by transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
No child should ever have to endure this!
No child should be torn away from his/her parents & held in cages for months.
Trump is responsible for this, and if you continue to support him, you are as well!
Where the hell has our morality gone as a country?
The 400 richest Americans (.00025% of the population) now own more than the 150m adults in the bottom 60%.
The richest have tripled their wealth since the early 80s.
The bottom 60%’s share of wealth has dropped from 5.7% in 1987 to 2.1% in 2014.
