C.It's going to be really interesting watching the MAGAs tie themselves in knots trying to pivot to "The government taking away our guns is good, actually" once this lawless administration reaches that step in the Fascist Playbook. [1]Will the NRA finally rise up against the authoritarian government, as they've long claimed as the justification for their gun fetish? They haven't done it in the last five months.[1] Probable schedule: sometime between next week (due to "violent unrest in California and other places targeting ICE just doing their job") and just before the 2026 midterm elections are cancelled (or more likely "postponed").<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MAGA</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascist</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FascistPlaybook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FascistPlaybook</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Miller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Miller</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/traitor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#traitor</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/guns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guns</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/NRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NRA</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pivot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pivot</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elections</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/midterms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#midterms</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/dictator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dictator</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/EnablingAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnablingAct</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GoodActually" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoodActually</a><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a>

This isn’t bad journalism, this is paving the way for the fascist repression of Trump’s political opponents in real time and whether its a result of cowardice, or open collaboration, is absolutely fucking irrelevant. The United States is speedrunning a descent into a fascist dictatorship run by a brainwormed septuagenarian racist and his openly white nationalist toady Stephen Miller, and these chucklefucks are out here pretending just maybe a Congresswoman should do a couple decades of hard time for bumping into an ICE murderpig while literally being prevented from doing her job; even though we have the entire interaction on fucking video."<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Media</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Budget</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MikeJohnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MikeJohnson</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LaMonicaMcIver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaMonicaMcIver</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GOP</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DemocraticParty</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Austerity</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClassWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassWar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MsRachel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MsRachel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/EnablingAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnablingAct</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TheSkinny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheSkinny</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AlinaHabba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlinaHabba</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesUnder the cover of darkness House Republicans slipped a provision into their budget bill that would, at least temporarily, allow Donald Trump to be the dictator of his wildest dreams.<a href="https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/05/22/nina-bytes-reconciliation-and-a-us-enabling-act/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/05/22/nina-bytes-reconciliation-and-a-us-enabling-act/</a>Nina-Bytes: Reconciliation and a US Enabling Act"In the past I’ve written about the many ways we can observe the Trump administration trying to create a patchwork “Enabling Act” out of emergency powers, novel interpretations of decades-old legislation, and even the resurrection of rarely-invoked war powers to fight a wholly fictitious “invasion” by gangs. With the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in his pocket, the Swine Emperor might finally have the vehicle he needs to fully transform America into a fascist dictatorship.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesA few days ago I wrote about Trump's authoritarian investigation into ActBlue in the context of rigging American politics, now the AP is reporting that Democratic Party-aligned activist groups like Indivisible are also preparing for the possibility Downmarket Mussolini and the Republican Party will come for them next.<a href="https://apnews.com/article/democrats-trump-actblue-indivisible-legal-threat-fbi-42f502bcb5888b12628629710c6eb21b" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/democrats-trump-actblue-indivisible-legal-threat-fbi-42f502bcb5888b12628629710c6eb21b</a>Core Democratic groups are preparing to be targeted by the Trump administration"The Democrats’ dominant national fundraising platform, ActBlue, and the party’s largest protest group, Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump’s top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the Republican president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.“Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves,” said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents Democratic groups and candidates and is chaired by Marc Elias, the lawyer who has himself been a Trump target."I generally don't have time to talk about speculative write ups like this one, but given that Trump has already ordered an investigation into ActBlue, and appears to be governing by fascist conspiracy theories embraced by the GOP at large, I think this one is worth keeping an eye on. In particular, any authoritarian repression directed at Indivisible would represent "crossing the streams" of the various fascist interests operating within the Trump administration because that group has intimately been involved in the anti-Trump, anti-Musk "Hands Off" protests; Musk in particular has publicly described them as "criminal." Obviously I can't predict the future, but targeting activist groups aligned with his political opposition would definitely fit the pattern of building a patchwork Enabling Act that Trump has adopted so far. The regime is already creating the ideological justification to criminalize a key funding apparatus for the Democratic Party, and given that both DHS and the DoJ have directly implied that protesting the regime amounts to "domestic terrorism," I think it would be foolish to assume the Trumpenreich *isn't* coming for groups like Indivisible in time; and clearly Democratic Party-aligned groups of all stripes agree with me or they wouldn't be lawyering up in preparation.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GOP</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RepublicanParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepublicanParty</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ActBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActBlue</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Indivisible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indivisible</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IdeologicalPolicing</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DoJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DoJ</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DemocraticParty</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/EnablingAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnablingAct</a>
