She’s been tracking “not normal” events that take place generally early in authoritarian movements. She started in 2016. With Biden in place she stopped. Now it’s accelerating. She is back at it.

On Facebook, bc she left twitter. I believe she is on threads. Not yet on bluesky but I’m hopeful.

She puts out her “list” for the last 7 days every Wednesday. The first “week” which wasn’t technically a week because Monday was the inauguration, there were over 100 “not normal” events. She did a live stream about “what to do” that I found helpful, similar to what is in OP.
