- A 50% copper tariff sounds tough on paper. But the quiet cost? It’s wired into our homes, cars, data centers—our entire economy. This isn’t strength. It’s a slow bleed. I dug into what it means, who gets hurt, and why it matters now more than ever.
- Reposted by Ryan Reads and Writes 📚✨Enten: "You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that these are horrible, horrible, horrible numbers. Washington Post, -19 points, Fox News -21 points...to quote Sir Charles Barkley, 'terrible terrible terrible'...it's one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation that I have ever seen"
- I believed in this country. I raised a son who served it. I pay taxes. I worship weekly. I stood silent during the anthem today. Because this doesn’t feel like America anymore. I wrote about it.
- I didn’t know how strange I looked. Until someone in authority asked if I had something to confess.

- I’ve posted my latest story to Medium. It’s free to view. Give it a read, and if you find any value in it, hit the clap button. It a small thing that really makes my day.
- Wild to see my name in @theguardian.com this morning. I started a petition to stop the creation of an autism registry. 50,000 people joined me. We changed the conversation. #autism
- It’s live: Believing in Matt Foley and Other Questionable Career Moves A story about finding motion when standing still felt safer. If it hits, I’d love a repost or a comment. Let’s keep talking about what survival actually looks like. #autism Read it here:

- Reposted by Ryan Reads and Writes 📚✨Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
- “I don’t want admiration for masking. I want a world where I don’t have to." Masks are heavy. I finally wrote about the decades spent learning scripts, the burnout, and the dream of authentic acceptance as an autistic person. Maybe you'll see yourself in it. #autism medium.com/@RyanReadsan...
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported illegally. The Supreme Court ordered his return. Both governments refused. No updates. No photos. No proof of life. Is he dead? Or are they hiding the conditions he was sent to? We need answers. We need coverage. We need accountability.
- I’ve been in the longest reading slump of my life. It’s like my brain decided to just nope out of everything for the past two months.
- In a reading slump? Only Batman can save you now. #BookSky📚💙
- Thrifted a U.S. history book from 1928. The very last paragraph lists America’s biggest challenges. Nearly 100 years later, we’re still waiting for ‘future citizens’ to solve the exact same problems. What are we even doing?
- Every time I visit my local library, I’m reminded that freedom is hard to gain and easy to lose. When public access to information is restricted, it’s time to make your voice heard. 📚💙
- So… when do we all get free credit monitoring? 💀
- I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋
- I still can’t believe how this blew up! My son still asks to check Kevin’s stats every day. I’m shocked that this is still making the rounds. It has restored my faith in humanity when I wasn’t sure I had much left. You are all the very best of people! Thank you!
- Hit the thrift stores, filled my shelves, and only spent $19. Turns out, secondhand book shopping is the ultimate budget-friendly thrill. Read about my adventure here👇 #BookSky📚💙

- This is “Shock Doctrine”. It will devastate institutions like education, healthcare, and research, leaving them underfunded and vulnerable. Wealthy corporations will step in to dictate societal priorities. public systems will collapse while privatization and corporate control take over.
- My dream is to write a book that gets banned due to all the empathy and critical thinking it inspires.
