AnarchoNinaAnalyzesContinuing to push a manufactured moral crisis about "antisemitism on college campuses" to justify the Trump regime's war on higher education, free speech, and protest rights, the fascist GOP are holding another round of HUAC-style "antisemitism" hearings; this time targeting the presidents of Haverford College, DePaul University, and California Polytechnic State University. In response to this latest perverse appropriation of Jewish identity and anti-hate activism to justify a genocide, ideological policing, and fascist repression of student activists, Congressional Democrats, free speech advocates, and Jewish peace activists are all speaking out against the conflation of anti-genocide activism with antisemitism, and these clownshow McCarthyite hearings as a whole. <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/house-antisemitism-hearing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.commondreams.org/news/house-antisemitism-hearing</a>Jewish Voices for Palestine and Free Speech Slam House GOP 'Kangaroo Hearing' on Antisemitism"Tali Beckwith-Cohen, a Jewish senior at Columbia-affiliated Barnard College, argued: "The Trump regime is using false allegations of antisemitism to disappear our friends, punish student protestors, and dismantle higher education. What we are seeing has nothing to do with keeping Jews safe, and everything to do with crushing dissent.""Thousands of Jews on campuses across the country have spoken out in solidarity with the people of Gaza and we will not be silent," Beckwith-Cohen vowed.JVPA political director Beth Miller contended that "the far-right does not care about Jewish safety.""Trump and his allies in Congress are platforming neo-Nazis and Christian nationalists, all while pretending to care about antisemitism in order to take a hatchet to our communities and most basic freedoms," Miller added. "This is intended to silence the Palestinian rights movement, sow chaos, and sharpen authoritarian tools that will then be used to dismantle civil liberties and democracy itself."Alright there's a lot of absolutely wild shit going on here, all of which contribute to the stunning DARVO-esque fascist unreality being created by this spectacle; so we've got to go through it all. - Yes multiple GOP members sitting on this commission are either racists or antisemites themselves; including the chair, Michigan's own Tim Walberg who suggested during a recorded town hall that Israel should nuke Gaza like "Hiroshima and Nagasaki" after October 7th. Using an expansive definition of antisemitism that conflates opposition to Zionism and Israeli crimes against Palestine with antisemitism, the Republicans managed to extract groveling apologies from the University Presidents, who supported Republican lies and threw the free speech rights of their students and faculty to the wolves without too much provocation. - Numerous Jewish students and anti-genocide activists accused the GOP members of the committee of appropriating Jewish pain and identity to justify a campaign of ideological policing, authoritarian repression, and illegal kidnapping of student protestors. This matters because while the Trump regime and pro-genocide mainstream media outlets have worked very hard to portray anti-genocide student protests as inherently antisemitic, the fact is that Jewish Americans are massively overrepresented in the anti-genocide protest movement on college campuses. Their voices are consistently erased from the discourse by an establishment working hard to manufacture consent for a US-backed genocide being conducted by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza.- As former ACLU national legal director David Cole pointed out, anti-Israel advocacy and even actual antisemitic speech are still protected under the First Amendment; although obviously hate crimes and threats are not. Professor Cole also mentioned the disturbing parallels between this hearing and the House Un-American Activities Committee sessions from the days of McCarthyism. Finally, Cole drew the obvious connection between the GOP member's arguments and the Trump regimes larger authoritarian attempt to ideologically police and take academic control of American universities.- Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar also pointed out the direct connection between the committee's activities and the Trump regime's ongoing campaign of kidnapping, detainment, and attempted deportation of noncitizen activists to suppress anti-genocide protest and speech. Additionally *multiple* other Democrat politicians on the committee expressed disbelief that the clearly-cynical "party of 'very fine people on both sides' or ' Jewish space lasers' does not give a damn about stopping antisemitism," particularly while openly and disdainfully neglecting to bright forth literally any other type of civil rights investigation or legal case against marginalized people being victimized anywhere else in American life. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOP</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StudentProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudentProtests</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemocraticParty</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IlhanOmar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IlhanOmar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DavidCole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidCole</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACLU</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antisemitism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TimWalberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimWalberg</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JVPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JVPA</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthyism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IdeologicalPolicing</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a>

Gamal Sherif<a href="https://mastodon.social/@lettiemacias" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lettiemacias</a> Glad to first see this post on Mastodon. I appreciate the framing of ethical AI as a strategy for a more beautiful, just, and verdant world.I think what you aspire to is timeless. It’s not necessarily a generational clog that’s messed things up; people fought against <a href="https://c.im/tags/industrialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#industrialism</a> in the 1930s and <a href="https://c.im/tags/mccarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mccarthyism</a> in the 1950s. I remember when Gen-Xers were gonna stick it to boomers.

Must we have some form of AI to ensure stable access to clean air, food, and water, housing, healthcare, transportation, arts, community, time for faith, and climate stability? What could AI tell us that we don’t already know about indigenous ecology, regenerative agriculture, green building, GHG emissions, effective working conditions, or a circular economy?

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesIn what may well be one of the most shameful episodes in American legal history since the abolition of chattel slavery, a Louisiana immigration judge has ruled that the Trump regime can continue its blatantly unconstitutional deportation of a lawful permanent US resident and political prisoner, Mahmoud Khalil, pretty much because Marco Rubio says so: <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/mahmoud-khalil-deportable" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.commondreams.org/news/mahmoud-khalil-deportable</a>'Very Dark Stuff': Judge Rules Palestine Activist Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported"A U.S. immigration judge in Louisiana on Friday ruled that Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident and former Columbia University graduate student arrested last month after protesting Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, can be deported, a decision that came despite the Trump administration admitting the imminently expecting father committed no crime and was being targeted solely for constitutionally protected speech.Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans said that she lacked the legal authority to question the determination by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Khalil was deportable. Earlier this week, Comans gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until Friday to produce evidence that Khalil is eligible for deportation.No such evidence was provided other than Rubio's assertion that he reserves the right to order Khalil's expulsion under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which empowers the secretary of state to expel noncitizens whose presence in the United States is deemed detrimental to U.S. foreign policy interests."As the article itself notes, this isn't a final victory for the Trump administration; Khalil can and will continue to fight this, and most legal experts seem pretty confident this is all going to end up in front of the Supreme Court before the government can actually deport him; although why the court's 6-3 fascist high composition gives anyone confidence that they'll stop the regime's fascist and blatantly unconstitutional ideological policing and repression, is somewhat beyond me. As horrifying as this decision is, a random immigration judge doesn't get to say "surprise, fascism is legal now" even if that's more or less what this ruling is pointing to. With that having been noted however, I need folks to understand what the regime's successful (for now) argument is here, because if you don't get that, it's impossible to grasp just how far these nazis clearly mean to go with this. The government is admitting that Mahmoud Khalil had a legal right to be in the United States, and committed no crime whatsoever. They are expressly stating that he's being targeted for deportation because of his political beliefs, and opposition to the US-back genocide being conducted by Israel, against Palestinians in Gaza as we speak; which they have chosen to define as antisemitism for political and propaganda reasons. This is a fundamental denial of Khalil's First Amendment rights which regardless of what you heard on Fox News, apply to everyone in the United States, not just people born there. Despite this however, the regime is arguing that they have the right to deport Khalil because the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 gives the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, the right to unilaterally, even unconstitutionally, order Khalil's expulsion; citing that the Act empowers him "to expel noncitizens whose presence in the United States is deemed detrimental to U.S. foreign policy interests." Who decides what US foreign policy interests are, has a right to to declare those decisions state secrets, and can change those potentially secret objectives at a whim? The Trump regime. Who decides which actions are "detrimental" to U.S. foreign policy decisions and who should be deported for them? Well the regime's argument is that it's Marco Rubio or whoever happens to be Trump's Secretary of State, and that he can do it by a whim, without explaining or justifying his decisions whatsoever. So you caught that right? The regime can violate the constitutional rights of even a lawful US resident, because Marco Rubio feels a way, and he's not required to provide any more proof than "I said so." And yesterday, a U.S. immigration judge agreed with that logic. All of which now begs the question, what, or who, will Little Marco decide is "detrimental to U.S. foreign policy decisions" tomorrow?<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Courts</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MahmoudKhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MahmoudKhalil</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protest</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliceState</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MarcoRubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarcoRubio</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JameeComans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JameeComans</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ImmigrationAndNationalityAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ImmigrationAndNationalityAct</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthyism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Constitution</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesIn an early March announcement that was underreported at the time (but just became a lot more relevant in early April) the Trump regime revealed its intention to collect and presumably monitor social media handles of folks applying to legally work and reside in the United States:<a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/03/23/trump-immigrants-social-media-citizenship-green-card/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theintercept.com/2025/03/23/trump-immigrants-social-media-citizenship-green-card/</a>Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over Social Media Accounts to Apply for Citizenship"Collecting social media information, according to the USCIS proposal first posted March 5, is necessary “for the enhanced identity verification, vetting and national security screening.”The proposal specifically cites Trump’s January 20 executive order, which advocates have warned goes well beyond the Muslim travel ban from Trump’s first term, which targeted people living abroad.The new executive order stated that “the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”USCIS said the social media handles it collects would be used to determine if people applying for a variety of immigration statuses pose a “security or public-safety threat.”"Of course, observers immediately noted the connection between this proposed policy and Trump's ideological policing, kidnaping, and attempted deportation of foreign students who participated in anti-Genocide protests and/or oppose the Trump regime:"In light of Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of Israel and the Trump administration.“This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for Palestinian human rights,” said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their lawful speech.”Furthermore, as a representative of the EFF presciently observed, there are few if any limits on the scope of what the government can do with this data if they get it, and modern AI technology allows for the regime to ideologically police and target a terrifying number of people who oppose our fascist overlords. It's also, strictly speaking, a violation of Constitutional rights:"The policy proposal does not sketch out limits on how USCIS can use its newly acquired data, according to Saira Hussain, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.Hussain said she was particularly concerned that the government might use artificial intelligence or other automated tools to punish speech it dislikes, pointing to a news report that the State Department is using AI to revoke the visas of people who allegedly express “pro-Hamas” sentiments.Hussain said she feared a chilling effect, where people applying for a change in status refrain from speaking about potentially controversial issues.“Anybody who is within the bounds of the United States has First Amendment rights,” she said. “The Constitution applies whether you are somebody who is a citizen or somebody who is a green card holder who is here in the United States. I think that this administration is trying to chip away at that notion, but that is very much what First Amendment jurisprudence has been under the courts.”Finally, it should be pointed out that the regime's proposal gives no indication whatsoever of when the government would stop recording and monitoring the social media activities of the people it's targeting:"CAIR’s McCaw said he worried that the policy could be used to continue tracking people’s activity on social media even after they become naturalized citizens.“There’s no clear sign on when this intrusion into our electronics and communications will end,” he said."<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OnlineSurveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnlineSurveillance</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MigrantRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Islamophoba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Islamophoba</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliceState</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthyism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USCIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USCIS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nativism</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesFor an example (both good, and bad) of the type of analysis I'm talking about, take a look at this March 30th piece by Kenan Malik in The Guardian:<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/30/just-like-mccarthy-trump-spreads-fear-everywhere-before-picking-off-his-targets" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/30/just-like-mccarthy-trump-spreads-fear-everywhere-before-picking-off-his-targets</a>Just like McCarthy, Trump spreads fear everywhere before picking off his targets"Seventy years on from McCarthyism, America seems to be entering such a moment. Over the past month, we have seen the mass deportation to a notorious foreign jail of hundreds of people declared to be illegal immigrants and gang members, without evidence or due process; the arrest, detention and threatened deportation of foreign students, including Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, Momodou Taal and Yunseo Chung, for protesting about the war in Gaza; the blacklisting of law firms representing clients of whom Donald Trump does not approve; the mass sackings of federal workers.Fear works here in two ways. The targets of repression are groups about whom it is easier to create fear, and so easier to deprive of rights and due process. Doing so then creates a wider climate of fear in which people become less willing to speak out, and not just about Palestine. Already, “whole segments of American society [are] running scared”, as one observer put it.Institutions such as universities, Schrecker concluded about the 1950s, “did not fight McCarthyism” but “contributed to it”, not only through dismissals and blacklists but also through accepting “the legitimacy of what the congressional committees and other official investigators were doing”, thereby conferring “respectability upon the most repressive elements” of the process.It’s a process repeating itself today. Earlier this month, after cancelling $400m (£310m) in federal grants and contracts, Trump made a series of demands of Columbia University, including that it change its disciplinary rules, place the Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under “academic receivership” and adopt the contested International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism that its own lead drafter, Kenneth Stern, condemns as having been “weaponised” into “a blunt instrument to label anyone an antisemite” and to “go after pro-Palestinian speech”. Last week, Columbia capitulated."On some levels, this is great analysis; Malik's examination of the role fear and "anticipatory obedience" had in both the Red Scare and the installation of Trump's would-be fascist dictatorship, is spot on. He's absolutely right to suggest that Trump's attempts to transform society and seize control of its institutions to shape them in his (fascist) vision is well in line with the effects of McCarthyism, and that the capitulation of the establishment was presaged by the exact same thing during the Red Scare. By that same measure however, do a quick page search for "fascism" or "dictatorship" and you won't find either word in this article. There's nothing wrong with giving readers a historical analogy to get a handle on what is happening in our society, but without the additional context of where this new (old) brand of Trumpian McCarthyism is going and what purpose it serves, all you're really accomplishing is telling readers to relax and remain calm because "we've been here before." <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthyism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collaboration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RedScare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedScare</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesRecently, a number of media analysts who seem to have forgotten fascism is a word, have looked towards the dark days of McCarthyism in the US to find historical comparisons for the Trump regime's fascist attempts to transform American society into a white ethnostate dictatorship. There are valid reasons to use this comparison as there *are* eerie parallels to be found between the McCarthyist American right's ever expanding war against made up "communist infiltrators" and both Trump's actions, and the responses to it from a mainstream establishment far more committed to profit than civil rights; including the weaponization of fear to silence objections and quell dissent, the pre-marking of folks ideologically opposed to fascism for reprisal, and the willing capitulation in advance of much of the US establishment to a fascist agenda. Placed in the proper context, which includes noting that the Trump regime is merely installing a fascist dictatorship through a new type of McCarthyism, the analogy is quite useful for getting people to understand how the regime is operating, and how its methods might be countered.The problem of course is that context is often missing. Few if any of the folks referencing McCarthyism would be willing to admit that even McCarthyism was just another fascist takeover project designed to eradicate dissent under the guise of "anti-communism." Hell, you can still find articles about Senator Joe McCarthy using conspiracy theories to defend Nazi war criminals who slaughtered American soldiers on the Smithsonian website (<a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/senator-mccarthys-nazi-problem-180975174/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/senator-mccarthys-nazi-problem-180975174/</a>) - at least until Trump deletes them. In that context, the use of McCarthyism as a more genteel accusation than fascism, which is how a lot of folks writing in mainstream sources appear to be using it, is nonsensical; McCarthyism was just a project to install fascism in America.How successful that project was depends a lot of whether or not you think it ended with McCarthy's fall, the defeat of Goldwater in the 1964 US presidential election, the implosion of Nixon, or basically never; speaking for myself I'd say you don't get Trumpism without the US War on Terror, which in turn doesn't happen without the legacy of Vietnam and the COINTELPRO program, which ultimately spawned out of McCarthyism and the Cold War struggle against "communism." In that context, it's probably better to understand the modern American fascist movement as a descendent of McCarthyism, rather than a totally novel expression of it.Furthermore, while the repressive tactics and ideological policing of the Trump regime patterns well with America's fifties-era Red Scare, it's important to understand that Trumpism has already moved beyond many of the goals the McCarthyists were trying to accomplish. While anti-communism often stood in for white nationalism, and supremacist power structures, it ostensibly focused on ideological policing; the Trump regime however is already targeting people for who, or what they are, not just what they believe; the anti trans pogrom, the bipartisan war on migrants, and War on Terror style Islamophobia have already paved the way for eliminationist policies in a way McCarthyism existed to accomplish. Given the term's ability to both heighten awareness of, and still minimize the threat posed by the Trump regime's project to install a fascist dictatorship, I'm going to proceed cautiously with sharing articles adopting McCarthyism as a framework to explain the actions of Trump, and his apparent Secretary of Nazi Shit, Stephen Miller. In doing so however, I'm begging readers to keep in mind that Trumpism, is definitely a fascist project, and the fact that during the installation phase the regime's activities pattern match so closely with the 1950's US Red Scare says a lot more about how fascist this country already was, than it does about why there's a meaningful difference between McCarthyism and fascism in general. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthyism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USHistory</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HistoricalModels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoricalModels</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ColdWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColdWar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JoeMcCarthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoeMcCarthy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RedScare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedScare</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a>

The document was billed as 'a blueprint to counter antisemitism' and offered strategies to target and silence critics of Israel, including deportation. A fact sheet about the executive order related by the Trump administration mirrored language from Project Esther and laid bare the order’s intent to 'cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses,' vowing to deport 'all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests.'"Such ideas are increasingly gaining purchase in conservative discourse. Pledges to deport supporters of Palestinian rights were a key part of the Republican Party’s platform. A congressional bill introduced last May called for similar measures. "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> is a key focus of Project Esther and Trump’s executive orders.
