The right is making public education intolerable. That’s not an accident. Don't Say Gay laws and "parents rights" groups are all part of a plan to completely defund public education.

I don't have to accept being autistic has connotations.

I CATEGORICALLY REJECT AND DENY THAT ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO ASSUME CONNOTATIONS
You are 💯 wrong.
Aspie is not something that HAS CONNOTATIONS
It carries A STIGMA INVENTED BY THE MAJORITY OF YOU.

I deny and repudiate any claim that ANYONE'S IDENTITY is mine to MAKE ASSUMPTIONS about.
I am REPULSED AND SICKENED that people DO fee! Entitled.
I don't need to accept the unacceptable!

Am I bring paranoid or catastrophizing again with how terrified I am for my own safety if the #ChristianNationalism #Christofascism party in the US gets complete control again? I really don't want to be scared but the way my brain works it doesn't want to stop. They literally want me dead. No exaggerating. I don't know how to respond to that. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #lgbtqrights #conservativesarenazis #pleasehelp #imscared

Repressive governments (at home and abroad) always bash and persecute gay and trans people to distract from their own failings.

" #Florida wants to let a #rightwing group teach #history to #children. This is appalling

In July, the Florida department of education announced that it had approved the use of content by #PragerU Kids for the coming school year.
...
PragerU Kids’ cartoon videos for children as young as kindergarten age not only soft-pedal the history of #slavery, #racism, #colonialism and #police brutality – they show sympathy for them. In one video, Leo and Layla Meet Christopher Columbus, Columbus tells young Leo and Layla: “Slavery is as old as time and has taken place in every corner of the world … Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?

Another PragerU Kids video describes George Floyd, who was murdered by the #Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in 2020, as a “Black man who resisted arrest”. Another features a cartoon version of the Black American educator and author Booker T Washington comforting white children by saying, “Future generations are never responsible for the sins of the past.” To which his young listener responds: “OK, I’ll keep doing my best to treat everyone well and won’t feel guilty about historical stuff.”

Another video says that #British colonialism transformed #India “in many positive ways”.
...
"And climate change denial? A PragerU video for kids compares pushing back against the science of the climate crisis to Jews in the Warsaw ghetto uprising who fought the #Nazis."
...
"PragerU Kids’ videos for teens often focus on sexuality and gender, promoting traditional gender roles in ways that could be considered anti-feminist. In one, How to Embrace Your Femininity, a young blond woman with perfect hair and makeup tells viewers: “Most gender stereotypes exist because they reflect the way that men and women are naturally different. And those differences aren’t bad … So don’t let anyone tell you it’s bad to fit stereotypes. Those people are just trying too hard to be cool.”

It’s telling that some people would rather make up absurd conspiracy theories than accept the self evident complexity and variety of life in the world. I mean, if you believe in god I’d think you’d hold up that reality as prof of how fucking awesome your god is. But instead they manage to make their god look bad because somehow this perfect being makes mistakes?! Like, do you listen to yourself when you talk? #LGBTQ #LGBTQrights #FuckEvangelicals #FuckConservatives
