There have always been Trumps, as there have always been Johnsons and Farages. None are particularly complex or interesting characters. What needs understanding is how the barriers that shut them out have collapsed, and why - in the case of the first two - established parties have knelt before them.

With the raid of John Bolton’s home today, is there ANYONE who still thinks that Trump’s authoritarian threats were merely “bluster” and “Trump being Trump?”

Defense Secretary Hegseth axes Lt. Gen. Kruse for his agency's sober intel that U.S. strikes merely dinged Iran's nuclear ambitions, enraging Trump's obliteration fantasy. Such purges polish the throne of unchecked whim. #Authoritarianism

Thousands of children bear the scars of Putins forced deportations from Ukraine. While he faces ICC warrants for these abductions, nearly 20,000 remain stolen, their identities erased in a chilling campaign of cultural obliteration. #3E

RFK Jr. wants to prevent scientists from publishing in peer-reviewed gold standard journals, but doesn’t hesitate to cite AI generated hallucinations as authoritative sources to back up their conspiracy theories.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for the Florida State shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose:

If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

After Donald Trump and Elon Musk created an aviation crisis that has killed dozens so far, the Trump led FAA has gifted a federal contract to Musk’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Former FAA officials also said that they were alarmed.

“Musk's starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month.” Each one produces “30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer and these oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016.” #OpCanary #EndAutogenocide

Hundreds of defunct satellites plunge toward Earth every year. Scientists are studying how the chemical stew left in their wake impacts the atmosphere.

As Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth mocking a federal judge undermines the integrity of the judiciary and drags the rule of law into partisan spectacle. His behavior reflects a troubling disregard for institutional balance and democratic norms.

Hegseth’s endorsement of election interference, rejection of democratic principles, and open admiration for autocratic governance reveal a consistent pattern. His actions are not isolated—they reflect a broader contempt for institutional checks and constitutional balance.

Slashing legal aid for unaccompanied migrant children isn’t policy — it’s moral cowardice. Under Trump, cruelty becomes administrative strategy, targeting the voiceless to rally the powerful. A government weaponizing abandonment has forfeited its claim to justice.

A president with a criminal record, aided by an unqualified defense secretary, accelerates the collapse of institutional integrity. When authoritarian instincts meet institutional power, democratic erosion becomes governance itself.

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH.

An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.
