As if it's *trying* to prove my point that the Trump regime is engaging in the fascist policing of "ideas" and the targeted repression of those who articulate them, the US government has admitted in court that it has no legal basis to detain and try to deport Columbia University graduate and activist leader Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the United States, besides his ideas and political positions. The government, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is straight up arguing that Kahlil's opposition to Israel's US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, which it baselessly describes as "antisemitism," represents a threat to US foreign policy objectives, which in turn allows the regime to enact a rarely used provision in the Immigration Nationality Act to justify the fascist targeting of the former student protest spokesman.
In other words, the regime is admitting that Kahlil hasn't committed a crime, but is being deported for purely ideological reasons under the guise of protecting American national security; which is more or less exactly what the administration has been saying out loud until the precise moment when someone points out that this is fascism, at which point they briefly deny it.

The Case Against Mahmoud Khalil Hinges on Vague “Antisemitism” Claim
"Khalil’s attorneys said it’s clear the government’s case is about cracking down on his speech in support of Palestine and represents a precedent amid the Trump administration’s nationwide attacks on universities and students. The Trump administration has revoked hundreds of students since Khalil’s arrest. Many were not involved in protests at all, while some were being targeted for low-level misdemeanors.
“And where would this lead?” Van Der Hout said. “Are we going to now throw people in jail for speaking out against the Social Security cuts in this country? This is a dangerous slope, and we are taking a stand on behalf of Mahmoud, and he is taking a stand.”
“He’s decided to stay in jail and fight this case to the bitter end,” he added, “while we try to establish that people like Mahmoud have a constitutional right to speak out in this country.”
If there's an upshot here, it's that all of this is patently illegal, and even the Immigration Nationality Act little Marco is using to justify this fascist bullshit contains a provision "that prevents the secretary of state from using the “foreign policy” provision to deport someone based on an individual’s speech unless it has compelling grounds to do so." The fact that the government has refused to produce evidence that would justify deporting Kahlil probably increases his chances of being released, and soon.
The bad news of course is that the Trump regime has already ignored multiple court orders forbidding its fascist activities, and the government is openly asserting the right to target, detain, and deport, again, a *legal* permanent resident of the United States, who is married to an American citizen, for purely ideological reasons. That assertion may not survive a judge's ruling in this particular case, but with a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court in its pocket, it feels like it's only a matter of time before the regime wins one of these arguments before a more sympathetic judge - and then there is no predicting how far the new American Nazi movement will go to crush dissent and ideological opposition to its authoritarian rule.

The Case Against Mahmoud Khalil Hinges on Vague “Antisemitism” Claim
The Trump administration filed no new evidence in its case against Mahmoud Khalil, according to a source who has read the government filing.Jonah Valdez (The Intercept)
Having recently returned to blogging about and analyzing the news, my last four weeks have been pretty hectic; frankly I've just been trying to keep up with what amounts to a type of fascist "shock doctrine" as the Trump regime has literally sought to overwhelm its opposition by speedrunning the installation of a fascist dictatorship. In that environment, I've been forced to place a premium on short term outcomes and the very pressing dangers to anyone who doesn't support fascism presented by the regime's activities and rhetoric.
Unfortunately, this approach has left little time for me to talk about the larger, long term ideological conditioning project being undertaken by the regime to erase history, rewrite educational curriculums, and silence sources of information critical of fascism, white nationalism, and patriarchy. Given that the study of fascist propaganda, indoctrination, and the suppression of educators and media observers under fascism is both an area of expertise for me and a foundationally important part of the Trump regime's project to create a permanent white nationalist dictatorship in America, it's probably time for me to start talking about all the ways Trump is working to make sure it'll be impossible for your kids *not* to be fascists, now.
I'd like to start with this March 25th opinion piece by James Zogby writing for Common Dreams, where the author takes a big picture view of Trump's plans to rewrite history for the purposes of fascist indoctrination:
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/trump-s-war-on-history
Trump’s War on History Is Another Slouch Toward Authoritarianism
"Buried in the flurry of President Trump’s Executive Orders is one that has been largely ignored, despite being potentially the most far-reaching of these presidential acts. Titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling,” this diktat lays bare Trump’s intention to roll back the gains that have been made over the last half century by historians working to present a more accurate portrait of American and world history. Trump calls these efforts “anti-American, subversive, harmful, and false,” and demands instead that schools devote themselves to “patriotic education” that will “instill a patriotic admiration for our incredible Nation”—in other words, to teach the kind of history we learned three generations ago."
Now to be clear, I do have some complaints about Zogby's tone here, because I feel like discussing the historical context of a white-centric, "patriotic" education in America while maintaining a calm, intellectually detached tone can give folks who're coming to this discussion without a good background in understanding fascist propaganda and indoctrination, the impression that the regime's assault on history and education is the kind of problem we can survive easily enough, because we survived it before the 1960's.
What I will remind those people however, and what I wish Zogby had spent a couple more paragraphs explaining, is that the vast majority of the powerful people in the American fascist movement are in fact a product of this type of white-centric, American exceptionalist education. This is precisely what folks like me, who study social hierarchies, and the history of fascism mean when we say that America has always embraced fascist ideology and participated in fascist indoctrination; Trump is not a wholly novel expression of American fascism, he's a product of historical fascist indoctrination in America and even just a return to that indoctrination is going to produce a whole generation of people who think it's totally fine and normal, to think like Trump does. That's literally the purpose of this project; the re-establishment of a white supremacist norm in education, historical study, and social discourse - forever.
There are of course knock on benefits for a permanent fascist order, including the ability to cast those teaching something besides this white-centric, American exceptionalist "patriotic" curriculum as enemies of the state and/or traitors. Furthermore, you can bet your ass that the Pork Reich isn't going to stop at rolling back social ideology and historical study to a pre-60's framework; these folks seem a lot more interested in returning to the 1850's, than the 1950's after all. But at the end of the day the Trump regime isn't counting on these changes to alter how you understand the world, our history, or enforced racial hierarchies; they're simply hoping that by silencing folks who know better, they can force indoctrinate the next generation of fascists as part of a permanent project to maintain a white nationalist dictatorship in America.

One of the hallmarks of fascist rule is the indoctrination of the public to believe in the “glorification of the nation.”james-zogby (Common Dreams)

Each January, we publish a short statement for fascist readers of our website, encouraging them to leave their movement. We also outline our process when someone contacts us about exiting white nationalism. Fascist movements often cultivate a sense that there is "no going back" after one gets involved. The truth is that people can and do leave. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this information, please pass it along.
