Threatening Epic War Crimes Against Humanity

In an interview with Fatherland/FOX News earlier this week, Trump threatened to bomb all of Iran’s bridges and power plants, explicitly adding that the nation’s entire population of 91 million might soon be without electricity. This Hitlerian threat to carry out collective punishment – a major war crime under the Geneva Convention – raises the specter of humanitarian catastrophe on a monumental scale. That Trump could make such a sociopathic threat is symptomatic of the regime’s genocidal mindset and its open rejection of international law.  

Rubio’s Claim that Cuba is Directing a Wave of Radical Left Terrorism in the US

Last week  US Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a 100-page report entitled Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism. This paranoid-style neo-McCarthyite document names more than 40 liberal and leftish politicians, influencers and groups as tools of Cuba’s alleged “sustained campaign of subversion” against the US. Presenting no serious evidence for its truly wild claims that Cuba has conducted “a campaign that has infiltrated the highest reaches of the US government, recruited and cultivated generations of American activists, backed an unprecedented wave of leftwing terrorism on American soil, and carried out one of the most durable and damaging foreign intelligence penetrations in American history (emphasis added), Rubio’s report contains a roster of US “radical leftists” including New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, streamer Hasan Piker, Ben and Jerry’s founder Ben Cohen, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, the Amazon Labor Union leader Chris Small, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, US Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA), and US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Subpoenaing Breakthrough News

The Republifascist-controlled US House Ways and Means Committee has subpoenaed Breakthrough News (BN), demanding that this liberal online outlet hand over its financial records and internal communications.  The letter sent to BN by the committee specifically mentions BN’s coverage of ICE kidnappings and killings and Israel’s genocide in Gaza.  It accuses BN of “anti-American rhetoric.” The US House’s main budgetary committee is investigating BN for committing journalism.

A Buddhist Studies Professor Charged with Terrorism

The Trump regime is prosecuting the Buddhist Studies professor Erik Davis on “antifa”-affiliated “terrorism” charges because he encouraged and helped organize protests against the regime’s terrorist ICE and Border Patrol surge into Minneapolis and St. Paul last winter. “Davis, the government says, has attended and facilitated meetings about protests and discussed his ‘anti-authoritarian’ ideology with other activists. He is not accused of violent acts, taking any specific actions at protests nor having any encounters with ICE agents. He is facing six years in prison,” The Guardian reports.

“Warnings” Against History

Mein Trumpf has ordered “warning” signs in front of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The orange-tinted Dear Leader said the museum “does not present American history as a shared national inheritance to be celebrated, but views American history as a ‘prime tool’ to advance ideas of social justice and the radical transformation of our society.” Trump wishes to delegitimize the truthful portrayal of the racism, genocide, slavery, imperialism, class exploitation, and patriarchy that has marred the American experience.  Fascism’s “palingenetic ultra-nationalism” – resurrecting a glorious but liberal- and left-betrayed national greatness – requires whitewashing the horrific history Trumpism embodies in the present.

“The Very Survival of Humanity”

Trump’s top political and policy adviser, the open fascist Stephen “We are the Storm” Miller took RepubliNazi redbaiting to new levels this week. He said this about the 2026 midterms elections: “The very survival of freedom, liberty, humanity, your family, your children and your future depends on ensuring that we do not allow communism to take hold…The Democrats have become the party of freaks, weirdos, losers, and crazies.” The notion that “communism” has taken hold of the Democratic Party is of course pure fascist fiction This wild throwback claim is being rolled out nearly eight decades after the Cold War Red Scare as part of the regime’s determination to cancel the midterm elections or refuse to honor their outcomes this fall.

Mission Creep in Memphis

When they announced a joint federal, state, and local “anti-crime task force” including the deployment of National Guard troops in the majority Black city of Memphis last fall, neither Trump nor Tennessee’s Republifascist governor Bill Lee mentioned the Trump fascist regime’s mass deportation (ethnic cleansing) drive. But a recent analysis by the Institute for Public Service Reporting (IPSR) reports that “the influx of federal agents into the city has led to widespread immigration arrests — a majority without criminal convictions.” The IPSR “found paralyzed immigrant neighborhoods, where scenes played out reminiscent of Chicago and Minneapolis [last fall and winter],” including “immigrants too fearful to leave their homes. Hotlines [jammed by] calls from panicked immigrants,” and “routine traffic stops [leading]  to immigration arrests.”

Trump has “plans for similar task forces elsewhere, particularly in Republican-led states where he has more political buy-in.” His task force has so far killed 4 Black men in Memphis.

Other Sickening Trump News

+ It was reported last week that the Trump regime last October dictatorially nixed $8 billion in federal energy grants to US states “based solely” on whether those states were represented by Democrats and had voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.

+ Thanks to the anti-science Trump regime’s pandemo-fascsist war on vaccines, the US has now registered more cases of measles in the last two years than in all the other previous years since 2000, when the virus was officially declared eliminated. All this while leading Republi-fascists in the Senate dragged Dr. Anthony Fauci into a dangerous hearing, accusing him of covering up the origins of the covid-19 virus and painting him as a mass murderer, all based on unhinged conspiracy theories and anti-science lunacy.

+ Trump has been putting up deranged [Un]Truth [Anti-]Social posts depicting himself as a naval commander seizing Iranian oil ships and violating the US Constitution by running for a third term in 2028.

This is fascism.
