Trump on autism

Wordsmith

The Guardian is reporting that Trump has just teased that he will be making an important announcement on autism tomorrow (quite how this was relevant in the middle of a eulogy for Charlie Kirk is not clear but that’s the Great Orange Blimp for you). Looks like we can expect mums taking paracetamol during pregnancy to be blamed and folinic acid to be touted as a cure.

  • Other people are already taking an initiative on this sort of issue:
    "Combating Disinformation & Promoting Literacy 
    • Media Literacy & Education: Incorporate political literacy into the school curriculum to build resilience against disinformation.
    • Stronger Regulatory Powers: Grant authorities more power to tackle disinformation, enforce electoral law, and prosecute breaches.
    • Fact-Checking: Support fact-checking initiatives to counter false information."

    A longish read which I believe is relevant and informative.
