This piece on Cassandras and anti-alarmists by @polphilpod.bsky.social is well done, and I bet some Bluesky users will see themselves in.
The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

FBI is compiling lists of people to investigate based on “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” “gender,” & “immigration” views.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Senate Democrats are spineless for doing this on a Sunday when their offices are closed and, for at least my Senators, their mailboxes are unavailable. What was the point of this shutdown if they didn't even get continuation of the ACA subsidies?!
