AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>The more I watch them in action, the more it becomes clear to me that the inversion of civil rights language and protections is a foundational aspect of the methodology the Trump regime is using to transform America into a fascist dictatorship with open nazi characteristics. While I think this write up in the Guardian could use a bit more blunt honesty about the white nationalist nature of the Trump administration's strategy here, but it still does a pretty good job of looking at all the ways the regime is purposing one (itself white nationalist) SCOTUS ruling to turn sixty years of civil rights legislation into a weapon against the very marginalized people it was written to protect. </p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/01/trump-administration-civil-rights-act" 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">ay/01/trump-administration-civil-rights-act</span></a></p><p>Trump administration exploits landmark civil rights act to fight schools’ diversity initiatives</p><p>"Linda McMahon, the education secretary, has described the investigation as part of the administration’s effort to “reorient civil rights enforcement to ensure all students are protected from illegal discrimination”. But civil rights advocates have denounced them as vague, likely unlawful and a betrayal of the spirit of the civil rights protections they purport to invoke.</p><p>“What we’re witnessing is an administration that is working very hard to turn civil rights laws against” the people trying to faithfully implement them, said Maya Wiley, the president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “It’s really an effort to say, ‘If you don’t do what we tell you, we will turn our considerable power against you’.”</p><p>I think the facts here pretty much speak for themselves; weaponizing Title VI and IX of the 1964 Civil Rights act to fight bogus "anti-white discrimination," seize control over educational institutions to protect a US-backed genocide in Gaza, and persecute trans (primarily women) people is a gross, fascist perversion of the entire purpose of those laws and I have no doubt that doing so actively delights the cracker nazis running the Trump administration. Forcing a white nationalist framework onto American life through the very same mechanisms that were installed to fight rampant white supremacy in our society is the ultimate fascist troll job, and the "how's my ass taste" aspect of this initiative is probably just as important to the regime as its actual efforts to create a de facto white ethnostate through these methods. </p><p>Furthermore, I think it goes without saying that using one single SCOTUS decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions, to argue that the government has a legal responsibility to enforce white nationalist policy over every aspect of American life and education, is a ridiculously broad, crassly dishonest interpretation of the law that should in no way be given credibility by anyone who isn't a fascist. This isn't Simon Says, the clearly stated purpose of the Civil Rights Act matters here too, and going full "the card says Moops" in response to this objectively disingenuous nazi bullshit is a cowardly failure of civic responsibility by the media, education institutes, and every part of the American establishment that isn't directly fighting Trump's inversion perversion of the Civil Rights Act. </p><p>Finally I'd like to point out that this is yet another example of the way Trump's entire fascist agenda amounts of "governance by nazi conspiracy theory." The entire basis of the administration's argument that they can, and need to use Civil Rights law to protect white, straight, Christian men, is rooted in fascist conspiracy theories about "reverse racism," "gender ideology," and "white genocide" - none of which are real, or actually happening in our society. This is a consistent pattern now in how Trump rules; the regime states fascist conspiracy theories as fact, acts on those conspiracy theories as if they were actual crises-level emergencies, and then seeks reprisal against anyone who opposes their attempts to govern as if these fascist conspiracy theories are true.</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/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</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/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IdeologicalPolicing</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRightsAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRightsAct</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Mysogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mysogyny</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/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Unreality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unreality</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LindaMcMahon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LindaMcMahon</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Perhaps my friends, running an authoritarian government based on enforced unreality and fascist conspiracy theories is actually *not* a very good idea? A US government website that used to post Covid information has been edited to promote the lab leak theory and prosecute reactionary anti-vaxer grievances about former Chief Medical Advisor to the President, Dr. Anthony Fauci.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/18/trump-covid-website-lab-leak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a</span><span class="invisible">pr/18/trump-covid-website-lab-leak</span></a></p><p>Trump White House replaces Covid website with treatise on ‘lab leak’ theory</p><p>"The Trump administration has replaced Covid.gov – a website that once provided Americans with access to information about free tests, vaccines, treatment and secondary conditions such as long Covid – with a treatise on the “lab leak” theory.</p><p>The site includes intense criticism of Dr Anthony Fauci, who helmed national Covid policies under Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the World Health Organization (WHO) and state leadership in New York."</p><p>Look, I don't do hagiography here and I'm not going to pretend that ignoring Covid and just letting people die wasn't eventually a bipartisan position in American politics. But for the Trump regime to replace one of the few supports for the public that the government was bothering to offer with some winger conspiracy nonsense about the lab leak theory and two minutes of hate about Fauci is both disgusting, and definitely a kind of fascist propaganda operation designed to generate an enforced unreality. If the truth be told, I'm not even a huge fan of Dr. Fauci's work as a public health official, but I can absolutely fucking guarantee you these nazis aren't upset over a general failure by the US government and health apparatus to respond adequately to the AIDS/HIV crisis or the decision to pretend Covid is over and send everyone back to work in a still quite deadly pandemic. The fascist American right literally wants to hang that guy because he made them take a vaccine, full stop.</p><p>As for the so-called "lab leak" theory, I think the Guardian is being far too generous. Every scientist or medical observer I've ever talked to or heard speak about the origins of Covid has said the only reason to believe the lab leak conspiracy is because it cannot be absolutely disproven as it's hard to prove a negative, but the vast and overwhelming body of evidence points to a zoogenic or spillover origin. For the White House to take down a useful anti-Covid resource and replace it with a conspiracy theory only relevant because "you can't prove it's *not* true beyond a shadow of a doubt" is both irresponsible, and ideologically revealing. </p><p>And to what end? Well promoting this conspiracy theory, and discrediting a medical establishment that disagrees with everything your HHS secretary is trying to push as public policy, has value to the Trump regime. This is an administration that absorbed the reactionary anti-vax conspiracy movement into its base years ago, and rode that base to what Trump clearly considers absolute power; Trump already put a guy who thinks vaccines cause autism in charge of the entire American state health apparatus. They're anti-science, and pro private medical care, even if that "care" comes from discredited quacks or unlicensed personnel. Furthermore, Trump is currently in the middle of a trade war with China that he's characterizing as an existential struggle for the survival of America and the lab these crackpots claim leaked Covid into the world is located in Wuhan, China. </p><p>And in the end, that's why it doesn't matter if the regime is right about the lab leak theory; they most certainly aren't, but the fact is that promoting these ideas as official government positions was never about right or wrong in the first place. The Trump administration is governing by fascist conspiracy theory because those reactionary conspiracies further their reactionary goals. The truth was never, and will never be a factor in these decisions. </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/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</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/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LabLeakConspiracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LabLeakConspiracy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RFKjr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFKjr</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AnthonyFauci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnthonyFauci</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiVax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiVax</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>China</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Unreality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unreality</span></a></p>

Ryan<p>Trust is the infrastructure that allows us to have a society. It’s the roads, the signs, the painted lines that let us move through life without constant renegotiation. Institutions—courts, elections, schools, the press—depend on this infrastructure to carry meaning, decisions, and responsibilities from one place to another.</p><p>Now imagine waking up to find the asphalt torn up in chunks. Lane markers repainted to nowhere. Street signs vandalized or missing. Tires burning under overpasses. Nothing catastrophic. Just relentless small-scale sabotage—enough to make every trip harder, slower, riskier. At first, people are angry. They demand answers. They call for repairs.</p><p>But soon, the complaints start to shift.</p><p>“It’s too expensive to fix all of it.”<br>“We’ve patched that stretch three times already.”<br>“Maybe people shouldn’t rely on these roads so much.”<br>“Everyone’s got GPS now—just find another way.”</p><p>Some even say the damage proves the roads were poorly built to begin with. Not worth saving. Not worth trusting again.</p><p>And so the city adapts—not by fixing the roads, but by redefining what counts as a road. People buy heavier vehicles. They treat breakdowns as personal failures.</p><p>That’s what weaponized unreality is doing to public trust. Not erasing it, but warping it. Making the broken routes seem normal, and blaming anyone who still expects the roads to work.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Unreality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unreality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a></p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Sometimes, a relatively simple story will encompass multiple arguments I've been making about the intentions and actions of the fascist Trumpenreich regime all at once. For example, this piece about a federal judge ruling that the Trump administration violated his court order, in order to punish Democrat states by withholding FEMA funding as part of official regime policy to target Sanctuary Cities for reprisal, is pretty much an encapsulation of why the Trump regime is unquestionably a fascist entity, enacting a fascist agenda. </p><p><a href="https://archive.ph/JHyjO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/JHyjO</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Federal judge reveals 'undisputed evidence' Trump is deliberately sabotaging blue states</p><p>"A federal judge ruled today that the Trump administration, including U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, violated his court order to unfreeze Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) relief to at least 19 states. The judge says the administration appears to be making a “covert” effort to punish states who oppose Trump’s oppressive immigration practices.</p><p>The New Republic reports U.S. District Judge John McConnell issued an injunction in March on behalf of 23 states suing the White House after the administration moved to pause FEMA aid to states. The Obama era judge ruled the hold-up “fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government.”</p><p>The federal reluctance applies only to states with Democratic attorneys general, and McConnell found the Trump administration ignored his March court order, with at least 19 states submitting “undisputed evidence” they were not receiving FEMA funds appropriated by Congress. Hawaii reported that FEMA had yet to respond to its $6 million request and subsequent $500k reimbursement for climate-related wildfires. The state of Oregon, meanwhile, reported that FEMA had yet to respond to a request for $129.4 million in federal funds for wildfires, severe winter storms, flooding, and mudslides."</p><p>Let me just make sure you understand what you're reading here. These nazi chucklefucks are ignoring the law and direct judicial orders, to illegally target their perceived political enemies, for not complying with their ethno-nationalist targeting of migrants, under the guise of a made up invasion that purportedly gives the president extraordinary dictatorial powers, in precisely the same way they falsely accused the Biden administration of politicizing FEMA aid last hurricane season, before Trump was elected. No, really; that's what a judge just ruled is definitely happening. This is the kinda shit that would make Goebbels himself blush.</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/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FEMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FEMA</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IdeologicalPolicing</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Courts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Unreality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unreality</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/EveryAccusationIsAConfession" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EveryAccusationIsAConfession</span></a></p>
