— John Green: Turtles all the way down
After losing his bench in a Democratic sweep the night before, Harris County Juvenile Court Judge Glenn Devlin released nearly all of the youthful defendants that appeared in front him on Wednesday morning, simply asking the kids whether they planned to kill anyone before letting them go.
“He was releasing everybody,” said public defender Steven Halpert, who watched the string of surprising releases. “Apparently he was saying that’s what the voters wanted.”
Waiting for this to be used in a statistical study in 6 years showing it was a net benefit.
“Autistic people are too sensitive.”
Meanwhile, here’s a list of things that offend allistic people.
not making eye contact
wanting to be left alone
not wanting to take part in a conversation
using the wrong tone
showing the wrong amount of excitement
pointing instead of using words
not wanting to be touched
not wanting to eat certain foods
wearing earplugs around other people
stimming in a way that does not affect anyone else
not following traditions
questioning their authority

This is a win
The US house, 5 or 6 governor’s, and a number of state congresses flipped this year. We had some losses in the senate, but that was a long shot anyway and 2020 looks a lot better for us and a lot worse for them.
Nevada trended even more blue. Texas nearly had an upset in the senate race, and Beto has helped develop the democratic party in Texas in ways that have not existed before.
I can’t downplay how important that is or how much of a victory tonight actually is for us.
State victories mean more people can be helped at the state and local level.
Holding onto the state level stuff into 2020? Means we can fix the fucking gerrymandering for the US house if we can pick up even more states.
Having the US house means the Republican Agenda of Governmental Destruction comes to a grinding halt. It means we can subpoena records and people from the Trump administration. It means his tax records? Are ours.
It means if trump stops the FBI investigation the House can start it up again on their own.
It means we have a democrat third in line to the presidency.
It means oversight, it means committees and investigations and it means medicare is protected, social security, obamacare.
It means if a democrat tries to gain access to a child detention camp and is refused they can then turn around and order subpoenas and investigations.
It means the only things that get passed the next two years are naming post offices and bare bones budgets.
maybe once every 3 weeks i think about how Chelsea manning snuck incriminating files past military security by putting them on a blank cd with ‘lady gaga’ written on it
I am simultaneously impressed and terrified.
sorry doesn’t cut it.
