Stereotype of autistic person is a male savant polymath.
Autistic people tend to have sensory sensitivities.

I usually get asked a lot of questions about the situation in the US when I’m in Germany. But it hits different when you have coffee with your in-law grandma, a Holocaust survivor, and she says: “What is your plan? This is not 1933 anymore, it feels more like ‘38. Don’t wait too long.”

They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

These complaints are basically why I use nazis with a lowercase “n”.
Some people say not to call them Nazis because there are antecedents in our own history, while others are over-reliant on outside examples. But it's important to acknowledge the mingling of our own trends and history with global fascist legacies and movements because that's our reality.
