AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>In an act of profound petulance and cruelty that is very reminiscent of the Bush regime's attempts to silence critics of the War on Terror, Trump's Gestapo has literally doxed Abrego Garcia's family for their father's crime of uh, being wrongfully trafficked to a torture prison in El Salvador by mistake, apparently.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/el-salvador-prison-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/el-salva</span><span class="invisible">dor-prison-trump</span></a></p><p>Abrego Garcia Family Flees to Safe House After Trump DHS Posts Home Address on Social Media</p><p>"The Trump administration has not only sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran megaprison due to an "administrative error" and so far refused to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court order to facilitate his return to the United States, but also shared on social media the home address of his family in Maryland, forcing them to relocate.</p><p>The news that Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and her children were "moved to a safe house by supporters" after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted to X a 2021 order of protection petition that Vasquez Sura filed but soon abandoned was reported early Tuesday by The Washington Post.</p><p>"I don't feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions," said Vasquez Sura. "So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I'm scared for my kids."</p><p>At this point we've all heard "the cruelty is the point" enough times that it's become a catchphrase, but I am consistently stunned by the Trump regime's ability to find new and more appalling ways to lower the bar for pettiness and a lack of human decency. There is absolutely no way you're ever going to convince me DHS and the White House didn't just expose Garcia's wife and children to the ire of Trump's white nationalist base on purpose, and I think the lack of comment from the regime makes it clear that I'm right about that. </p><p>As I've mentioned before, the problem with nearly every Trump administration authoritarian operation is that they're all a Russian nesting doll of fascist fuckery that start out wrong on the merits, and just get more outrageous and disconnected from reality as the situation evolves. The regime had no legal authority to traffic any of the men it sent to CECOT to a foreign torture prison for what appear to be mostly the civil violation of being in America without documentation; full stop. It doesn't matter if they're in a gang, even though most of them apparently weren't. It doesn't matter if they're guilty of a criminal offense, even though most of them apparently weren't. And it doesn't matter if they were husband of the year, even though every family member that has come forward have all demanded the return of their loved ones. Deportation is a legal process that requires the government to prove they have a valid reason to remove a person from the country, and the defendant gets a chance to argue against that evidence. Whatever happened here, kidnapping brown men with tattoos to then traffic them to a torture prison in El Salvador, they weren't deportations and they weren't legal.</p><p>The kidnapping, trafficking and continued detention of Abrego Garcia however is even more outrageous and appalling because the government has already admitted multiple times in court that it was a mistake that never should have happened, even by the twisted fascist logic the regime is using to justify the rest of the "deportations." Now after getting waxed multiple times in court, including a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court that sits three Trump-appointed judges, and a grotesque attempt to provoke a constitutional crisis over the matter, the regime is petulantly refusing to return Garcia to the United States and seeking retribution for the indignity of being told they can't do this fascist bullshit, by terrorizing Garcia's wife and children.</p><p>I'm a prison abolitionist myself, but if we're going to have prisons whether I like them or not, then let me be the first to say Stephen Miller, Karoline Leavitt, and literally all the mutherfuckers in Trump's DHS, should be in fucking prison right now. This is outrageous and the word Nixonian doesn't do the fascist fuckery on display here enough justice. </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/AbregoGarcia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbregoGarcia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConstitutionalCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConstitutionalCrisis</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/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</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/KarolineLeavitt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KarolineLeavitt</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StateTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StateTerror</span></a></p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I think a lot of Americans have trouble wrapping their heads around the concept of fascism for a variety of reasons; some intrinsic to fascism itself, and some that are products of the external environment we're all raised in. Part of the problem is that fascism isn't really an ideology, so much as a reactionary recipe for the accumulation of power; which allows fascist movements to spring out of a wide variety of political struggles, and assume a wide variety of early forms - before more or less coalescing into the same old nazi shit once they reach power. It also probably doesn't help that we live in a propaganda model environment that actively encourages a narrow understanding of what fascism is so as to avoid the populace ever connecting it with American anti-communism, predatory capitalism, and free market fundamentalist ideology; but that's a much larger discussion for another day.</p><p>I've spent many years of my life studying fascism and fascist movements, so I can assure you that the Trump regime you're watching is fascist, but at the end of the day if you don't really understand what that means or aren't able to see the ways this Christian Nationalist movement are (poorly) trying to hide their fascist intentions, that isn't going to help you much. For you folks, I'd like to share this eleven minute informative video published on The Humanist Report that talks about the kidnapping and trafficking of Abrego Garcia, and why it signals the regime's intention to establish what is essentially an authoritarian dictatorship. The key here however, is that the host talks about the events in the context of "state terror" using analysis from a historian of fascism: Timothy Synder. </p><p>While I might quibble with Mike's assertion that oligarchic America was merely a "flawed" liberal democracy before Trump's second inauguration, the framework of "state terror" articulated here is simple and useful; particularly for folks who're still learning about fascism. Pay close attention to the parts about inverting the justice system to escape the law, rather than applying it, and the three forms it takes - the leader principle, the state of exception, and the zone of statelessness.</p><p>Expert on Fascism Has a CHILLING Warning About What Comes Next</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1TGlDB5uB0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=w1TGlDB5uB</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p><p>"Timothy Snyder, a historian and author of ‘On Tyranny,’ recently announced his decision to leave America due to rising authoritarianism. He also reacted to Trump’s defiance of the Supreme Court by warning that it marks the beginning of a new era of “state terror” in the United States, where the government coerces people through the selective enforcement of laws and by repudiating former legal norms. In this video we’ll breakdown his warning about this phase we’re entering in and discuss what it means for Americans."</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/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MikeFigueredo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MikeFigueredo</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TheHumanistReport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheHumanistReport</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TimothySnyder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimothySnyder</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StateTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StateTerror</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AbregoGarcia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbregoGarcia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a></p>

Yet the crisis, economic and political, that faces this small Caribbean nation did not begin with the dictatorship, and is far from being solved, despite its departure from the scene. In this fascinating study, Haitian-born Michel-Rolph Trouillot examines the mechanisms through which the Duvaliers ruthlessly won and then held onto power for twenty-nine years."</p>
