Our reporter visited a potential source’s home, where he introduced himself as a reporter and they had a pleasant conversation.
A few days later, VA Secretary Doug Collins sent out a tweet that accused our reporter of trying to “stalk” the employee.

Deleted my LinkedIn account today. Feels like a relief. Exited Facebook, Twitter and Instagram many years ago already, which also made my life more comfortable.
Mastodon, Pixelfed and other Fediverse platforms are different. You're not being manipulated by algorithms to maximize engagement, you're not bombarded by ads, not misled by fake news and "AI" generated slop posts, not numbed by nervous short videos, and other forms of enshittification.

For my fellow Cassandras.
The author talks about anti-alarmism in the mainstream media and among liberals (failure to recognize an actual emergency in progress - e.g. refusing to see MAGA as a real threat) as driven by men's gender insecurity and need to distance themselves from behavior that is female coded.
tl;dr
Cassandras are more likely to:
-be women
-belong to a minoritized group in some meaningful way
-have spent considerable amounts of time among conservative populations
-be clear, critical thinkers who can connect the dots between different types of bad behavior
