"How White-led groups quicky moved more than 200 asylum seekers off a Toronto street to shelter" would be gross and weird, and so is this. Good for them to help out people in need and yikes on the journalist who wrote that headline.

I am a light sleeper, whenever I have been woken up by these alerts I've been unable to sleep again for the remainder of the night. Not everybody can fall asleep easily like you do.

And since you feel so angrily about the subject, perhaps you wouldn't be so grumpy if you had a good night's sleep.

> throw in some single-payer, universal healthcare

When you do that, don't forget to include coverage for the stuff around your head: dental care, eyeglasses and mental health. Many countries forgot to include coverage for these things and it is a shitshow.

Autism isn’t something that needs to be cured

My cousin suffers autism. He is in his forties and is entirely nonverbal. He depends on his aging parents to survive: he can't go grocery shopping, he can't bathe himself, he has never had a romantic partner, and I don't have to explain that he can't get a job either.

His mother abandoned her career decades ago to become his full-time caretaker. She hasn't had a real vacation ever since because my cousin only feels comfortable around his parents.

Autism isn’t something that needs to be cured

I sincerely hope life doesn't force you to become the caretaker of an autistic child.

My understanding is that it referred to his allegations that some programs are being funded without the necessary Congressional oversight.

Either way, the matter of fact is that Congress is addressing these concerns regarding oversight, not the reprisals suffered by this particular person. See the recently proposed regulation by Gallagher.

If it was nonsense, why did the Inspector General find his allegations "credible and urgent", and forwarded them to Congress, where Grusch and other whistleblowers deposed under oath? And why have several Congressional committees announced that public hearings will be held in the upcoming months?

Let's not make the mistake of thinking that just because evidence has not been made available to us it means there is none. We don't get to learn the most highly classified weaponry in the Pentagon, why would non-human technology be released any more widely? If you want more information to be made public, go write a letter to your elected officials telling them this matters to you.
