After hearing the news lately from RFK Jr. about him planning to launch the autism study and have "some answers" for autism & treating it as a disease, and hearing that he will send money to compensate for autistic people and their families, as an autistic person myself, I feel SO enraged.

I think that on Mayday, there should be an event for people with autism and their families to protest against the statements that RFK Jr. has made, and to organize perhaps some sit ins and marches on the HHS & perhaps protest outside RFK's house.

I am certain that I am not the only person who feels this way.

I am NOT a burden. I don't need to be compensated. My family doesn't need to be compensated.

And also, we need to write to our representatives telling them to stop this study and to tell RFK Jr. to fuck off.

I am SO angry. I don't have words to describe my anger for RFK and his policies, and I have had enough.

Today, President Donald Trump publicly violated his constitutional oath by declaring on Truth Social: "We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years." This statement explicitly rejects the constitutional right to due process, guaranteed to every individual within U.S. jurisdiction by both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

By openly dismissing a foundational constitutional protection, President Trump has directly betrayed his oath of office, outlined clearly in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution: to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." The President’s role explicitly requires upholding constitutional principles, not disregarding or circumventing them for expediency or political convenience.

This violation is not merely a policy disagreement or partisan conflict; it is an intentional breach of the fundamental constitutional obligations entrusted to the Presidency. Trump's statement represents an unprecedented threat to the rule of law and undermines the very structure of American democracy. Allowing a President to openly reject constitutional rights sets a dangerous precedent that weakens the foundation of American constitutional governance.

Given the gravity and clarity of this breach, the Constitution itself provides a remedy: removal from office through impeachment. President Trump's explicit rejection of due process rights demonstrates unequivocally that he is unwilling or unable to uphold the Constitution. For the preservation of constitutional integrity, the rule of law, and the fundamental principles upon which the United States is built, President Trump must be removed from office.

I've been protesting with different signs for the last couple of weeks, by far the most successful sign has been: "The Constitution is not optional"

Lots of honks, and thumbs up. It's clear, concise and is broadly acceptable. It doesn't require that you are up-to-date on everything that is happening. It doesn't require understanding anything complicated. When MAGA sees this sign they might shake their head, but they can't disagree with it without giving themselves away.

I love how this phrase gives me the high ground and causes dissenters to think twice.

The US says only El Salvador can send Garcia back. El Salvador says only the US can request him back.

Let's protest deportation on multiple fronts and get those illegally deported home.
