When #GusWalz #cried at the #DNC, his #tears helped free us all from #toxic #genderroles.

Some #rightwingers tried to #mock the 17-year-old for #crying in #public. They missed the #larger #point by a mile.

This is what bothers me about this society, the search for the perfect human. Disability? Who doesn't have some function that someone else has? He is intelligent, but... like a potentially superior person, but defective. This is ableism at it's most notorious, because it masks as empathy and science. Capitalism is more than an economic theory, it is a way of ranking the human and material world against some conception of the ideal, usually an economic valuing, but it extend to social values, because the two are linked. Disabled people are more likely to not get hired and more likely to become commodities for the for profit health care system. Taking this too personal am I? Well, since I have experienced what it is like being #NeuroDivergent -- yes

I'm a little behind (I was on retreat last weekend), but the bullying of #GusWalz by the right is 1) extremely on brand, and 2) reminds me again of how fucking inhumane they are. Part of me can't even grok how anyone can be that cruel.

"Stand up against fascism. Calling out people’s rude, insulting behavior is our duty. We owe it to Gus and anyone else being bullied to have their backs and to protect their best interests."

"We all have a little bit of Gus Walz in us. I’m proud to be on the right side of history. I’ll always stand up for what’s right and the things I was taught as a small child about being kind and respecting all people, regardless of our differences."

"Certainly, the attacks on Walz reveal the ugliness at the heart of the GOP. But they also reveal the extent of stigma against neurodivergent people, and some of the dynamics of how that stigma functions."

"While I understand and agree with those who say that no child should be mocked for being proud of their dad, I also think that Gus Walz’s neurodivergence does matter here. Republican partisanship, hate, and misogyny in this instance were also linked to, and I think triggered by, ableism."

Tim Walz’s son, Gus, has nonverbal learning disorder. What is that?

#Dairy alert

Apparently, some people think 20 year old milk is the good stuff.
These people are going by the moniker "Conservatives".

Remember the jerks in grade school who made fun of other kids for being imperfect and un-cool?

That's #MAGA

That's THEM. Trump's the head bully.
And #Trump is still a contender. Why isn't humanity doing better.

While I totally agree w/the sentiment, #GusWalz is not “disabled” - in his parents’ words he has “Secret Power”

#TimWalz & his wife, Gwen, told People magazine this month that Gus was diagnosed as a teenager w/a non-verbal #LearningDisorder, an #anxiety disorder, & #ADHD.

#AnnCoulter was awful for putting down a kid who was proud of his dad & showing beautiful emotion.

I've been out getting groceries — have I missed #Trump extending his sympathies to the Walz's for his supporters' behavior towards #GusWalz?
