The Grim Consequences of Crackery
Things were certainly looking just about white for Amerika in the early part of June, as our government participated in colonial massacre in Gaza, birthday boy Trump planed for his ominous upcoming military parade, and oh yeah, the regime literally invaded Los Angeles. We also found out that Project 2025 is really the friends we made along the way, American universities hate anti-genocide protesters almost as much as the Pork Reich does, and the number of migrants arrested in a single day is the kind of record only a nazi could cherish. The days are hot and the streets are hotter in the home of the apparently not so brave, but The Skinny is ready for a white boy summer that might decide whether or not there’s even an America left to save from the crackers. As always you can follow the links below to check out these stories on my Fediverse blog, or simply read them in their entirety on page two by using the navigation buttons at the bottom of this article.
June 1st – 10th, 2025
Trump, Israel, and the Witkoff Massacre
“We are literally luring starving Gazans out of hiding with the promise of food, concentrating them in pens, and then letting IOF soldiers shoot at them, while calling that “humanitarian aid” and pretending the Trump administration is trying to do something about a famine engineered by our own client state. There are no words I’m comfortable uttering in this political climate that can adequately cover the outrage, revulsion, and loathing I feel towards a Trump regime, US corporate media, and a broader bipartisan American establishment containing plenty of rich Democrats, that has brought this livestreamed genocide into being.”
Punishing the “Wrong Kind” of Americans
“Whether it’s revoking protected status from hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers at the stroke of a pen, trying to deport visa-holding foreign student protestors, or looking to end birthright citizenship entirely, most of Trump’s anti-migrant policies are very clearly about targeting people the Klepto Kaiser doesn’t feel should be in the country, regardless of their actual legal status in America. Now, you can add preventing potentially millions of legal immigrants from working in America because they can’t get a social security number, to the growing pile of evidence demonstrating the Trump regime’s rhetoric about “criminals” and “illegals” is obfuscating an openly nativist political program.”
A Not-So-Secret Fascist Plot
‘The two key points to keep in mind are that Trump’s entire administration and his cabinet are littered with people associated with Project 2025 or the fascist think tanks behind it, and virtually everything the Trump administration and the ruling Republican Party have done since the Swine Emperor retook office was and is mapped out in Project 2025. The Trumpenreich nazis are lying when they deny it, and we know exactly what Trump is going to do next as he progresses his fascist agenda forward because these muppets literally wrote it down.”
Trapped With Trump in a Land of Rage and Shame
“The backdrop behind this repugnant milestone in what amounts to a type of ethnic cleansing, is the same discussion we’ve been having about the regime’s ethno-nationalist objectives, right wing propaganda about violent migrant criminals, and how the gap between who Trump says he’s targeting, and who the Gestapo detains, debunks every reason the Trumpenreich has offered for its mass deportation program. Ratcheting up ICE’s arrest quota by two hundred percent has made it impossible for the US establishment to pretend this is about public safety, or removing violent criminals from the country; and the nazis running this cracker nationalist shitshow have admitted as much internally.”
Shared Ideological Goals in Fascist Amerika
“The key point to understand here is that UM is hiring private goons to intimidate activists calling on the university to stop supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; the majority of whom are their own students. Furthermore, there’s no evidence whatsoever that the Trump administration is making them do this; UM, which proudly bills itself as a Midwestern bastion of enlightened liberal culture and a leadership factory for broader American society, just really wants to scare students into silence on its own, and in doing so happily prosecutes Trump’s agenda for him.”
When You’re Worried About the Wrong Roads
“This is a fascist regime, ruled by a reality TV show nazi with his own burgeoning cult of personality, actively looking to create an American one-party dictatorship by consolidating as much governing power and control over US security forces as possible, in the executive branch. Levine is more than correct to point out what other observers apparently will not; in addition to positioning himself as the embodiment of US military might, Trump is also courting the armed forces he needs to enforce a nazi police state conducting mass deportations under martial law, with lavish funding and the prestige of a fascist propaganda theater event that celebrates the troops, at the same time it celebrates Trump.”
Engineered Outcomes and the Invasion of LA
“Indeed, the combination of instructions given to both ICE officials and Gestapo foot soldiers could not have resulted in any other outcome and the regime was clearly prepared to capitalize on the outrage it would cause; that’s why they were so quick to respond to completely justified popular pushback with cries of insurrection and orders to send in the National Guard. Furthermore, given the national scope of DHS and ICE’s authority, what we just saw happen in LA is clearly an outcome this administration intends to replicate all across the country; with Stephen Miller and Tom Homan seemingly targeting sanctuary cities in blue states in particular out of politically-motivated reasoning and sheer ideological spite.”
The Invasion of LA Started Last Week
“This is a diverse community, acting to protect their friends and loved ones from militarized fascist abductions, unlawful state repression, and slow-motion white supremacist ethnic cleansing; the fact that the people of Los Angeles responded only with nonviolent protest and traffic disruptions until the Kletpo Kaiser literally called in the fucking troops is a testament to the character of the city’s people, and stands in stark contrast to cowardly masked Gestapo goons locking small children in a basement to keep us all safe from seeing brown people in our communities.”
