If you have any history of diagnosis or treatment for ADHD you're fucked if they get this far. These people don't care about the differences. I've taken stimulants for a decade, and considering the only thing between this administration and those records are a call to Walmart? I've got my passport close and am job hunting in Sweden/Germany.

First they came for the ~~socialists~~ immigrants, and I did not speak out, because I was not an ~~socialist~~ immigrant. <-- WE ARE HERE
Then they came for the ~~tradeunionists~~ transgendered people, and I did not speak out, because I was not a ~~tradeunionist~~ transgendered person.
Then they came for the ~~Jews~~ neurodivergent, and I did not speak out—because I was not ~~a Jew~~ neurodivergent.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

My first memory of a "global event" was 9/11. Then the Patriot Act and the Iraq/Afghanistan war. Then Citizens United and single-payer ObamaCare got shutdown and I gave up on the US, put my head down and got to work on an engineering degree so I could emigrate.
Thankfully, despite failing out and putting a total of 10 years into my 4 year degree, I graduated 2 years ago and am in a reasonable position to make that move. Leaving family and friends behind fucking sucks, but I can always come back when things simmer down, or at least provide a place to go if things don't.

I don't think the United States in general gives a flying fuck about non-whites, now or in the past.
I give a flying fuck though, so I'm gonna get pissed when I see a basic lack of respect for any person. I'm going to get pissed and rail against every single erosion of rights I can, right up until I get the fuck out of this insane country.
You misunderstand; getting stuck there is exactly what the senator should have done if they wouldn't let him take Mr. Garcia.
This is a falsely accused, illegally deported human stuck in an El Salvadorian mega-prison. Mr. Garcia is incredibly lucky to be alive at all. Can you imagine being in that scenario, meeting with your US state senator, then being lead back into lock-up‽ They had zero justification for sending him there, zero justification to hold him there, and zero justification to keep him one second longer.
What was the point of Van Hollen flying down there personally if not to bring him home? Leaving Mr. Garcia behind is tacit approval for disregarding due process.
Naw you nailed the joke but markko has a good point as well. I wouldve quoted after the ellipses, personally, but my internettiquette is still very much a product of my play-by-post RPG forum days.
However, you do you man, and I hope you have a good day!
Am I the only one concerned that the senator didn't forcibly bring him home? I feel like a US Marshall or three should have accompanied Mr. Garcia and the senator out the front door and onto the jet all the cons are complaining about.
Counter-point: RFK has access to your diagnosis.
Caveat; an ASD diagnosis probably won't matter if you already have a history of treatment in another mental illness.
Take me, for instance; diagnosed ADHD at 16, refined diagnosis to ADHD-combined at 21. That was a decade ago, and I've been on stims and on/off other meds in the ensuing decade. If RFK gets his 'detox' camps I'm fucked either way, yet I'm still hesitant to pursue an on the record ASD diagnosis despite prompting by my doc.
Thankfully my passport arrived yesterday. Maybe I'll ask for the official diagnosis once I've sorted out tickets and a visa...
