And and, you know, whatever you want to call that, whether that's authoritarianism or just plain old repression or the end of freedom of speech in America, you know, I don't know.

But the reality is that we have to think about the risks that we're willing to take to do the most basic things that we used to take for granted.

And that's across different regimes, different political parties.

We are now in a weaponized world.

a different state of affairs where people are hunting people down who are perceived as enemies of the system and due process doesn't matter.

It's really terrifying.

So I think these forms of community building solidarity that are twisting and

skirting the usual way that people could track you down as enemies of the system are going to be really important.

And we're figuring out what that looks like in real time.

Amanda, can I just add a little exclamation point?

And, you know, when I answered your question initially, I was really thinking about how you build back.

Thank you.

Please do.

And you look at the stress that really all Western democracies are dealing with right now.

It's not just a U.S.

problem, right?

Absolutely.
