    Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America

    Identifying faceless ICE agents. Mutual aid for jailed protesters. Calling JD Vance a fascist. The war on ‘antifa’ is a war on free speech, and it’s just getting started.

    Trump takes hard anti-anti-fascist stance.

    The White House has released a national security presidential memorandum on fighting “domestic terrorism,” which apparently includes doxing ICE agents. The document outlines a sweeping strategy to investigate and harass a broad swath of organizations and institutions that the White House claims are anti-American.

    There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.

    Tourist found with JD Vance meme on phone.

    21-year-old Mads Mikkelsen (not the famous one) tells Norwegian newspaper Nordlys that he was pulled aside by customs officials at Newark Airport. An agent searched his phone and found (1) a photo of a wooden pipe he had made, and (2) that one meme of JD Vance where he has the giant bald baby head.

    Mikkelsen says he was detained, strip searched, and ultimately refused entry into the US. The English language Daily Mail write-up can be found here.

    No kings?

    In case you missed it, King Charles III opened Canadian parliament with a speech from a literal gilded throne, hailing “democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination and freedom” as “values which Canadians hold dear.”

    Yeah, I don’t know either.

    Will the real Register please speak up?

    Shira Perlmutter, who may or may not be the head of the Copyright Office depending on how deranged the Supreme Court’s interpretation of executive power becomes, has now sued the Trump administration, including Perlmutter’s supposed replacement Paul Perkins “in his capacity as the person claiming to be the Register of Copyrights.”
