AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>At the risk of stating the obvious, it would be nice if media minions on my TV would spend any time at all analyzing Trump's fascist ICE kidnapping spree as part of a larger plan, with an eye on what the regime is actually trying to accomplish here. Maybe American media outlets are spooked by living in a country where it's increasingly illegal to admit racism exists, but it's not like it's impossible to do the legwork; even for corporate media. Take for example this piece in the international edition of The Guardian, pointing out that it's almost certainly not an accident all of DHS's targets for fascist ideological policing and deportation are people of color, even though a majority of the folks participating in campus anti-genocide protests the regime is claiming represent a threat to our national security, were white folks born in America.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/26/us-universities-students-israel-palestine-protests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/26/us-universities-students-israel-palestine-protests</span></a></p><p>‘A warning for students of color’: Ice agents are targeting certain protesters, say experts</p><p>"Now, at least five students and academics of color at US universities have been targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), as a part of the Trump administration’s ongoing push to punish noncitizens over their support of Palestine.</p><p>“What we’re seeing is the use of immigration law to go after visa holders, permanent lawful residents, [over] their speech,” said Samah Sisay, a staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). “He’s trying to suppress political speech that goes against what the administration wants.”</p><p>Despite white students, professors and academics also being heavily involved in pro-Palestine protests, people of color have disproportionately faced sudden arrests and threats of deportation or had their visas revoked.</p><p>“We’re just seeing the focus on very specific people,” said Sisay, referring to academics of color. “I think it really is to try to create a wedge in solidarity, the multiracial, multiethnic solidarity that’s been created in support of Palestinian human rights.” Ice’s actions, she said, have “set a warning for students of color at these universities who rely on scholarships and educational support to improve their lives or better the situations for their family.”</p><p>So look, maybe you don't need to be a genius to figure out why an openly white nationalist, Islamophobic, and deeply xenophobic Trump administration is starting its attempts to criminalize protest and dissent, with non-white academics, the overwhelming majority of whom are Muslim. These guys are fucking nazis, and that's the kinda shit nazis do; although I'll be honest with you, the next time I see a corporate media outlet explain the actions of the Pork Reich by directly saying "well they're fascists, obviously" it'll probably be the first. </p><p>The truth however, is that Stephen Miller, who is definitely running Trump's immigration policies and his fascist war to crush dissent, is the kinda crudely cunning fascist who absolutely "uses the whole cow." Sure the regime is stacked to the brim with raving white nationalists, but they're also clearly working to break the solidarity of the anti-genocide protest movement, while simultaneously targeting people Americans have already been taught to hate in order to shift the Overton Window far enough towards fascism to allow them to start black bagging and imprisoning *anyone* of *any* immigration status, who opposes the regime. It is irresponsible to simply repeat regime propaganda to justify illegally disappearing protestors, without helping your audience put these events in a larger context that would explain why it's important for all of us to oppose Trump's fascist repression of people many Americans don't care about and have been taught to dislike, if they don't want the regime's next assault on civil rights to strike closer to home. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenMiller</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Racism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CampusProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CampusProtests</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Kidnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kidnapping</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OvertonWindow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OvertonWindow</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Islamophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Islamophobia</span></a></p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Naturally, I suspect that this is the part where a few outraged liberals in their feels will pop into my mentions to call me a liar, point out that a Trump administration will almost certainly allow Israel to keep conducting a genocide in Gaza, or perhaps gleefully tell me to "enjoy the camps" the American fascist party no doubt has in mind for folks like me, whether they mean trans women or anarchist shit disturbers. They will tell me that a Trump administration would be a far more enthusiastic supporter of the carceral state, deportations, and boiling the planet like soup so his rich donors can make a quick buck. Of course I won’t argue most of these points with them, but as I’ve written multiple times in the past my question here is how much does it mean that the Democratic Party of 2024 is merely better than the most unhinged, genocidal, nativist freakjob in American politics since the presidency of Andrew Jackson? What kind of campaign slogan would it be to proudly shout “we’re less fascist than Donald Trump?” What possible result can appeasing fascists and surrendering to fascist ideology on all of these issues have, but to produce more fascism? Please keep in mind here that you cannot tell me with a straight face that I’m asking for too much out of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party because the Party itself agreed with me on most of these issues as recently as the day it released its 2020 Party Platform; a platform I personally voted for, and Joe Biden won a presidential election running on, by the way. </p><p>In the end, that final point is the part I can’t rightfully shake from the darkest corners of my mind; the fact that all this appeasement and the open rightward shift of the Democratic Party since 2020 isn’t even remotely necessary because Joe Biden won the 2020 election without appeasing the fascists at all. In that context, I’m forced to assume that the Party, and its presidential candidate are for some reason choosing to embrace reaction, appease cracker fascists who’re voting for Trump anyway, and alienate the very same broad, diverse, progressive coalition that got them over the finish line only four years ago. Despite what I said at the top of this blog, I must confess that I don’t believe this is really even about cynical political maneuvering or acquiescence to the dictates of realpolitiks; these choices represent what the Democratic Party wants to be, and what its leaders want to show the voting public. And given that reality, I’m forced to conclude that the Party and a potential Harris administration have willingly surrendered whatever meagre claims they ever had to anything resembling a soul. </p><p>Look, I’m certainly not here to tell anyone how to vote this election, but after what I’ve seen this week during the 2024 Democratic National Convention you cannot tell me that the Party itself hasn’t succumbed, at least in part, to the sickness of fascism and the dubious idea of a rightward shift in the Overton Window. Kamala Harris may well be the next President of the United States, but unless something changes drastically between now and November, there will be no victory over fascism. How could there be when reaction, nativism, and genocide are set to win no matter who we elect this fall?</p><p>(sources below)</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNC</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticParty</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Election2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Election2024</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nativism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OvertonWindow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OvertonWindow</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trunp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trunp</span></a></p>
