RFK Jr Shocked At ‘Tsunami Of Anger’ Over Autism Comments
Fox NewsThe US health and human services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr seemed confused on Tuesday over the “tsunami of anger” caused by a series of offensive comments he made about autism. AdvertisementKennedy, a vaccine sceptic who has spread widely disproven theories that shots are linked to autism, continued, “We’ll have answers within six months. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,” the health secretary said. AdvertisementMedical experts attribute the rise in autism rates to improved diagnostic capabilities, a broadened definition of autism and increased awareness. The National Institutes of Health say researchers believe a combination of factors, including genetics, play a role in causing autism.

I Just Got Into Harvard. My MAGA Grandparents’ 6-Word Reaction To My Acceptance Devastated Me.
Harvard sweatshirts are displayed for sale in a school store window on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 15, 2025. My father and paternal grandparents, on the other hand, followed the Republican Party and Trump down the MAGA path and continue to support him. College acceptance season, like the holiday visits to my grandparents’ house, has become a time of tension, apprehension and fear. Creating fear seems to be the goal of the Trump administration. The actions of the Trump administration have made it clear that we are no longer safe to dream.

Jimmy Kimmel Warns Of The 1 Outrageous Pope Stunt Trump Might Pull Next
LOADING ERROR LOADINGJimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump picked a strange way to announce that he would attend the funeral of Pope Francis, who died Monday at the age of 88. “Trump announced that he will be attending the pope’s funeral. He said they’re ‘looking forward’ to being there, like he got tickets to Coachella or something,” Kimmel said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”AdvertisementBut he said there’s a risk Trump will do more than just attend the funeral while there. “What are the chances Trump declares himself pope?” Kimmel wondered. “They’re not zero.

Jasmine Crockett Epically Rips GOP With Blunt Comparison Of Trump And Abrego Garcia
Wheeler appeared opposite Perry in 19 episodes of the show's 10-season run, making at least one appearance in every season. "And if you read Matthew's book or if you've read Matthew's book, you know the level of his addiction was so profound." When asked if she still missed both Perry and her brother, Wheeler said she missed them both. "And I said, you know, 'Look out for him,' and two hawks flew over my head and flew past me." My mom told me what she’d come back as if I ever need a sign and made it specific so I guess I’ll just have to wait (hopefully a long long time) and see lol"- frycrunch96"I just lost my grandfather a week ago.

Should You Change Your ‘Outside Clothes’ When You Get Home? Doctors Have Thoughts
In short, I have dedicated “outside clothes” and “inside clothes.” I can’t imagine lounging around the house in the same clothes that I wore to work or out to run errands. I’m also an evening shower person — I take one almost immediately after returning home (and before I put on my inside clothes). AdvertisementFor certain professions, it’s highly recommended you change as soon as you get home. So, is changing your clothes the best way to prevent contamination? AdvertisementAnd if you can’t be bothered to change your clothes, you should at least pay attention to two commonly contaminated items, your handbag and your phone.

Trump Threatens Prosecution For Fact-Based Reporting On Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Abrego Garcia was one of hundreds of mostly Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration flew to a brutal prison camp in El Salvador in March. While the administration’s efforts to continue these deportations have been stalled by the courts, the Trump administration is fighting to resume the flights. According to court records, Abrego Garcia was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after looking for work outside a Home Depot in 2019. AdvertisementLawyers for Abrego Garcia say the “Westerns” operate out of Long Island, New York, a state that their client has never lived in. The Trump administration, however, appears set on forcing Abrego Garcia to remain behind bars abroad.

Citizen Jane Review: Don’t Stop Believin’
Thanks to producer Capella Fahoome Brogden’s new documentary, “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey,” rock ‘n’ roll fans can learn about the rags to riches story of Journey’s lead singer Arnel Pineda. “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey” gets a hearty three encores out of five. It was really, really, really moving, and I said we have to make it. **[FB]:** We would literally get on each phone call, and no one would have updates on money, someone would go, “Okay guys don’t stop believin’.” And everyone I meet, everyone has a story. On his website, when you’re on chat, every time you send a message it makes that noise “polka.” When he comes on it goes… “Plok, plok, plok, plok.”

A Furious Stranger Called Out My Son In An Airport Bathroom. What Happened Next Horrified Me.
My son has high-functioning autism, what used to be called Asperger’s syndrome, now called autism spectrum disorder, level 1 support. Over the years I’ve had several moments of pure fear when I didn’t immediately know where he was. One time, after landing and coming into the airport, he bolted for the bathroom without telling me. I told him it was inappropriate and that he knew better, even when I knew it wasn’t true, that he didn’t know. For people who may not have or even know children like mine, I wrote this to encourage more empathy in the world.

Get educated before critiquing Invisible Children
However, using unknowledgeable sources such as MU freshman Lauren Haden to offer critiques on the Invisible Children organization is a waste of paper and ink. Only six days after being uploaded to YouTube, [the latest video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc) by Invisible Children has already reached more than 71 million views! Another issue I have with Ms. Haden’s statement is the accusation that Invisible Children “twists conflict to make it more marketable.” Invisible Children attempted to explain the on-going conflict in a way that could be easily understood, but a 26-year conflict cannot be explained in its entirety in a half-hour film. The goal of the film was simply to gain widespread attention and benefit the cause of Invisible Children. The fact that Invisible Children is not a non-profit organization does not mean that their cause is unworthy or their efforts dishonest.

Sexual assaults in the military deserve visibility
**Trigger warning for sexual assault and rape**Story continues below advertisementUnfortunately, that wasn’t the significant finding from the report. A finding from the Pentagon reports that a soldier is “15 times more likely to be raped by a comrade than killed by an enemy.”](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-chemaly/military-sexual-assault-facts_b_4281704.html)Unlike most forms of sexual violence, the intersection between sexual violence and gender is noticeably nonexistent. [Indeed, as much as 45 percent of enlisted survivors of sexual violence are men, compared to the civilian rate of roughly 8 percent. ](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-chemaly/military-sexual-assault-facts_b_4281704.html)The militant culture of sexual violence isn’t limited to broad statistics and numbers, mind you; there are far more mephitic elements at play that make the violence all the more perverse. As the above illustrates, sexual assault and rape in the military is a real but invisible issue, and it’s one that deserves far more than tacit dismissals and self-righteous inaction.

**Correction appended**MU 2008 graduate Shannon Jewitt started receiving credit offers through Bank of America after she graduated and never knew why.

A long way from done
Despite advances in marriage and other civil rights, LGBT people are still fighting for their basic human rights. There are many more problems that the LGBT community needs to solve, and marriage is only the tip of the iceberg. Workplace discrimination within the LGBT community is one of the more rampant and persistent problems facing the population. Nevertheless, things may be looking up for the abolishment of workplace discrimination. Without properly fighting against workplace discrimination, we are allowing the government to get away with disobeying the Constitution.
