(1,291 posts)52. See also Amy Siskand "The List"
Since 2016 she’s been documenting “not normal” events that typically preclude authoritarian take overs. That people don’t notice or see as warning signs though they should. (Or they do but dismiss)
She puts out a list for the week every Wednesday.
When trump ended in 2020 it was 100 events a week. (After 4 years, his last week tallied 100)
His first less than half a week in 2025 was 120.
Has a book.
She’s on fb, threads. Hopefully bluesky soon.
Similar info. A good watch if you’re on fb.
