DRIFT EVENT:

Since January, 41 anti-protest bills have been introduced in 22 states — 32 of them after Trump took office.

A new federal bill proposes 20 years in prison for disrupting pipelines.

This isn’t about safety.
It’s about silencing dissent.

🚨 DRIFT EVENT

Trump’s draft executive order proposes: – Shuttering embassies
– Erasing human rights + refugee offices
– Loyalty tests for diplomats

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s a blueprint for control — and it builds on past purges.

🚨 DRIFT EVENT

Trump admin shut down the U.S. government’s foreign disinformation office.

No more coordinated response to foreign propaganda targeting elections, health, or public trust.

The vacuum isn’t accidental.
It’s drift.

🚨 DRIFT EVENT

The Trump admin has directed federal employees to report coworkers for perceived anti-Christian bias.

This isn’t liberty.
It’s religious surveillance—and it marks a major escalation in faith-based governance.

Trump made a deal with 5 major law firms:

- Provide free legal help for admin causes
- Skip DEI investigations
- Avoid executive order penalties

Legal independence is being traded for loyalty.
This is how authoritarianism advances.

WATCH SIGNAL:

ICE detained Lopez Gomez, a U.S. citizen, overnight — even after he showed valid ID.

This isn’t just a mistake. It’s a preview of what happens when executive power overrides due process.

Today it was a citizen. Tomorrow?

Trump is moving to dismantle college accreditation — the system that decides who gets federal funding.

Why?
To replace it with politically-aligned agencies that reward ideological loyalty.

This isn’t about education.
It’s about control.

It doesn’t start with burning books.
It starts with who decides which ones get shelved.

Trump just fired the Librarian of Congress. No cause. Just ideology.
That’s not symbolic, that’s drift.

Trump is accepting a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar’s royal family.

The Constitution doesn’t call that a gift.
It calls it an emolument.
That’s a bribe.

It’s not generosity — it’s leverage.

💰 So now even cautious savers are being penalised?

Building societies are pushing back on ISA reforms that quietly strip financial autonomy from ordinary people—not the mega-rich.

This isn’t reform. It’s erosion.
Another small freedom chipped away.

DOJ is reportedly drafting legal strategies to prosecute journalists, immigration lawyers, and humanitarian NGOs for “supporting illegal activity.”

Trump admin guts the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — laying off 1,400+ staff and scrapping its core mission.

This isn’t just bureaucracy. It’s strategic erosion of institutional protections — and it leaves consumers defenceless.
