Young voters are increasingly turning away from former President Donald Trump, according to recent polls, while Hillary Clinton has accused the Trump Administration of a cover-up regarding the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. These developments come as communities are finding ways to support each other when the government fails them, and as a photojournalist details her rebellion against the Syrian regime.
Trump's support among young people has declined significantly in the past year, according to several recent polls. In the 2024 presidential election, Trump received 39% of the vote share among 18-29-year-olds, according to Pew Research Center data. He performed particularly well among young men, winning an estimated 54% of the demographic, according to data firm Catalysts' autopsy of the 2024 election. However, an Economist/YouGov poll conducted February 6-9 showed that Trump's Gen Z approval dropped to its lowest level in his second term.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has accused the Trump Administration of engaging in a cover-up over the release of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. A law was passed in Congress to require that all files related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell be released. "What we're seeing, I think it's fair to say, is a continuing cover-up by the Trump Administration," Clinton told the BBC in Berlin while attending the Munich Security Conference. She criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi's testimony at the House Judiciary Committee hearing, referring to it as "quite a scene" and saying she "refused to answer questions, diverted attention away from the matter at hand, and refused to look at the survivors."
In other news, communities are finding ways to support each other when the government fails them. One example is the Dios Habla Hoy church in Minneapolis, where people prepare food packages for immigrants.
Additionally, photojournalist Loubna Mrie detailed her rebellion against the Syrian regime in her memoir, "Defiance." Mrie, who grew up in Syria where her father was allegedly an assassin for the regime, joined the Syrian revolution first as a protester and then as a photojournalist.
Finally, in the 1930s, a radical conservative faction almost pushed Finland into full authoritarianism. Called the Lapua movement, it was a far-right group of Finns who sought to overthrow the republic, marginalize communists, and install an authoritarian government. They managed to disrupt Finland's political order through threats of violence and symbolic kidnappings.
