Cold Open [into silence]
Friend, I haven't done this before. Usually I talk autism & neurodiversity with you. But I'm very concerned about events unfolding this weekend...
I've seen these patterns emerge before. In other countries. Authoritarian countries¹.
I have no plan of action to suggest. It's happening too fast for me to process… in my slow, deep AuDHD² way.
All I could think to do… is share my concerns with friends who care.
