Let’s Rethink The Lords: The Experts Bench In the last post, we landed on a fairly uncomfortable place. We rely on expertise and institutional memory far more than we tend to admit. We benefit from it when it’s there, and we notice when it’s missing. But we’ve never really decided where it should live, or how it ought to be represented. Instead, it’s drifted into the House of Lords because that was the easiest place for it to end up.

A Politics That Won’t Stop at Power How Trump’s is building a totalitarian system—not just through power grabs, but by dismantling the very conditions that make truth, dissent, and public life possible.

They didn’t shutter the BLS—they just fired the woman who told the truth. This isn’t just authoritarianism. It’s a totalitarian campaign to control what reality is. And it’s accelerating. #Totalitarianism #Trump2025 #DefendTruth #Authoritarianism #PublicInstitutions
