Thread: I wrote this back in October for #ADHDawarenessmonth , and thought I’d share here with the new #NeurodiverseSquad I’ve found. I spent October looking for any inspiration I could find, as I was so frustrated with hating my disability and thinking so negatively about myself
Last night my brilliant friend with 20 years of expertise in Neuroscience including a decade at NIDA was fired because she was recently promoted for her outstanding performance and it triggered the probation period.
This is not making NIH more efficient, this is not making us healthier, this is not punishing the people who misled the public, this is destroying America’s talent.
Her work is instrumental for testing whether new medications to fight addiction are safe and efficacious before they are tested in humans. now that research is at risk.
She was the backbone of the lab the most senior person. So much knowledge, talent, know how, wasted, so much science destroyed for the wrong reason.
Sigh…
Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
It's still wild to me that Trump voters said:
Rape is ok.
Racism is ok.
Bigotry is ok.
Pedophilia is ok.
Banning books is ok.
Fascism is ok.
Felony is ok.
Not ok to Trump voters:
Low prescription costs.
Low college tuition.
Homeownership programs.
Business loan programs.
Health insurance access.
Healthcare.
Lower child care costs.
Clean air.
Clean water.
Higher wages.
Chip manufacturing companies.
Infrastructure.
Expanded Veteran benefits.
Research…
Then they get mad when we point out how stupid they are.

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism.
Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary…
The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.
and by the way i think the takeaway here is not that we should hate poor uneducated people, but that the republican party directly benefits from keeping people poor and uneducated which is why they create policies which do just that
President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—signed into law three years ago today—is historic in its proportions. It has set into motion a generation’s worth of infrastructure projects and good-paying careers in every state in the country. It’s the Big Deal.
Minnesota was just ranked the second best state for children.
This ranking reflects our work to support middle class families, invest in education and child care, and build a brighter future for our kids.
Hey swing voters did you vote for this? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been nominated to be Secretary of HHS. Junior wants to ban fluoride in water and said "no vaccine is safe and effective." You won't get lower prices but you will get more tooth decay and disease. FAFO.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his anti-vax fakery was tied to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. And he lied about it. As head of HHS, he could do much worse here.

Jeffries: We understand he is completely and totally unqualified.. We need serious folks with a serious background and serious expertise. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is of course, none of the above
Making Robert F Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services is the worst thing I’ve seen and Trump approves it. This is already a shitshow
