dear autistics who

white

low support needs

not need 24/7 support

can work independently

can pay taxes

language privileged

intellectual & cognitive privileged

who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)

when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who

radicalized & POC

from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support

visibly autistic

higher support needs

need 24/7 care

can’t work independently or even work at all

can’t pay taxes

nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC

w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities

who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try

because we always are & always will be primary target.

because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.

because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.

Why is it okay

for Crowley to try and reason with God

But not for Aziraphale?

Why is it okay

(presumably) for Crowley to try and change things

But not for Aziraphale?

Why are people upset with Aziraphale for not responding to Crowley's confession and distress

But not care that Aziraphale looks terrified out of his wits and Crowley never asks what's wrong?

I couldn't find the exact gif I wanted, but anyway, he keeps looking out and looks like a deer in headlights, or whatever the saying is, absolutely manic with fear.

And anyways, why are both their 'break ups' always described as if they were entirely Aziraphale's doing and fault?

As if all his decisions were inherently wrong. Whatever he does is wrong, even if it brings a good result. He just can't win.

So, that's what I got from today's browsing. Just more Aziraphale hate and misunderstanding of how hard he loves and how hard he tries in a world set against him.

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, then, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that middle-class home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies”’ dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

calling progressive activists on tumblr!

We at @fandomtrumpshate are relaunching our action blog, which aims to help people get involved in progressive causes in practical, concrete ways. We've got thousands of fans who have been raising money for a host of progressive causes over the past eight years, and we know that many of these fans would like to go beyond fundraising to start doing some of the work themselves.

Making that leap can be hard, though, which is why we'd like to offer some examples. We're hoping to share stories -- your stories -- about how you got involved in activism and what it means to you.

If you're willing to share your story, please make a post that answers these questions (or some of them; no need to answer all of them!) and tag us -- @fthaction -- and we'll reblog it.

when did you first get involved in activist/community work, and what motivated you to do it?

how did you get started? how did you find your niche?

what was something you struggled with early in your activist work, and how did you learn to manage/overcome it?

what's a setback you've faced, and how did you make it through?

what is the thing you're most proud of?

what are the unexpected joys or benefits that activist work has brought into your life?

what's the one thing you really want to say to people who are thinking of getting involved?

[mockingjay2026]

Yall. I know there's a LOT of things happening all the time now. But do not stop watching this story.

The Trump administration is saying that they CANT return this man who was wrongly deported because of an "administrative error."

*can't*? Forgive me if this is tettering on conspiracy, but it feels like the only reason they *can't* is if this man is already dead. When was the last time anyone spoke with him? How sure are we that these people are actually ending up in these El Salvador prisons *alive*?

🔥 The beacons are lit; the library calls for aid

The Trump administration has issued an executive order aimed at dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services - the ONLY federal agency for America's libraries.

Using just 0.003% of the federal budget, the IMLS funds services at libraries across the country; services like Braille and talking books for the visually impaired, high-speed internet access, and early literacy programs.

Libraries are known for doing more with less, but even we can't work with nothing.

How You Can Help:

🔥 Call your congressperson!

Use the app of your choice or look 'em up here: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member

Pro tip: If your phone anxiety is high, call at night and leave a voicemail. You can even write yourself a script in advance and read it off. Heck, read them this post if you want to.

Phones a total no-go? The American Library Association has a form for you: https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=23577

🔥Tell your friends!

Tell strangers, for that matter. People in line at the check out, your elderly neighbor, the mail carrier - no one is safe from your library advocacy. Libraries are for everyone and we need all the help we can get.

...Wait, why do we need this IMLS thing again?

The ALA says it best in their official statement and lists some ways libraries across the country use IMLS funding:

But if you want a really specific answer, here at LCPL we use IMLS funding to provide our amazing interlibrary loan service. If we can't purchase an item you request (out of print books, for example) this service lets us borrow it from another library and check it out to you.

IMLS also funds the statewide Indiana Digital Library and Evergreen Indiana, which gives patrons of smaller Indiana libraries access to collections just as large and varied as the big libraries' collections.

As usual, cutting this funding will hurt rural communities the most - but every library user will feel it one way or another. Let's let Congress know that's unacceptable.
