AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>This week's Skinny timed out with the end of the month, and a season change on my website; needless to say I'm a little exhausted. I'm fond of this one tho, there's several pieces I wrote this week that when cleaned up clearly could have been full essays. Not that I had the time to source them, but some of this was pretty good for a social media blog for sure.</p><p>This week we're talking about how the budget bill fuels the fascist anti-trans pogrom, the multiple purposes of the surveillance panopticon, ICE agents setting traps for migrants at courthouses nationwide, and the banality of the open white nationalism the regime engages in daily. Oh, and Senate Democrats could stop the GOP homicidal class war Billionaire Bill in its tracks; do they want to? Check out this week's Skinny for more:</p><p><a href="https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/05/31/the-skinny-banality-of-evil-in-trumps-america/2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ninaillingworth.com/2025/05/31</span><span class="invisible">/the-skinny-banality-of-evil-in-trumps-america/2/</span></a></p><p>The Skinny: Banality of Evil in Trump’s America</p><p>"Which brings us to the vague wording, and potentially broad applications of this ideological screening. As we’ve learned to watch for from studying the Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther, and the Trump administration’s clear adherence to its doctrines, there is nothing in any of the administration’s orders targeting dissidents that essentializes being pro-Palestine, or anti-genocide. The regime has already asserted the power to define anything as terrorism, or material support, and even casual criticism as being a threat to US national security, so why would they stop at anti-genocide protestors or foreign students at all for that matter? A vast digital panopticon relying on “AI-processing” technology to sort through every aspect of a targeted individual or group’s lives can and almost certainly will be repurposed to identify and surveil the regime’s political and ideological opposition in broader American society until such a time as a ghoul like Marco Rubio, or Pam Bondi finds a way to declare that their constitutional rights too, are null and void."</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/ReconciliationBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReconciliationBill</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</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/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</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/MarcoRubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarcoRubio</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StudentVisas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentVisas</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/TheSkinny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheSkinny</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Newsletter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newsletter</span></a></p>
