The Skinny is a cleaned up collection of my Fediverse blog posts; this time from April 16th to April 19th. Topics explored include Trump's ICE Gestapo, the anti-trans pogrom, signs that a Christian Nationalist purge is brewing in the Trump administration, Broligarchs, and why Seb Gorka just implied half the country are aiding and abetting terrorists by fighting back against the Trump agenda.

The Skinny: Climate of Fear and Indifference

"As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV to repeat and reinforce the US government’s fact-free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a “terrorist,” and starts characterizing people who oppose Trump’s illegal “deportation” of Garcia as folks potentially “aiding and abetting” terrorists; because again, for some mysterious reason (they’re all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are “terrorists” apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery."

The Skinny: Climate of Fear and Indifference | on NIDC - Part 2

As the Trumpenreich's fascist agenda accelerates, American society appears to be descending into a climate of fear and indifference - Part 2

Nina Illingworth Dot Com | "When the revolution is for everyone, everyone will be for the revolution"

As an American, I believe Kilmar Armando Abrego deserves due process and should be returned to the United States.

Call me whatever you want, #Gorka...

interestingly, Seb #Gorka isn't in the news much lately, but here is some of his recent crazy www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-... "I love Nigel dearly and thanks to him you actually have an independent nation now and you had Brexit."

He is outrageously aggressive. A misogynist, Putin-apologist, and to cap all that, an enthusiastic cheerleader for #Brexit .

Been listening to this person #Gorka .
Reportedly born in London & possibly resident here for his formative years, he still carries a strong accent denoting his Hungarian heritage. If he is a 'Brit' i'm a potato. He is articulate, in a ponderous manner, forceful, patronising, & emphatically not to be taken as a person with useful insight into European affairs or a friend to European liberty. Now appointed to a senior position in the US administration, he is dangerous.

Who Is Sebastian Gorka? Trump’s Pick For National Security Role Was Previously Linked To Far-Right Hungarian Group

Gorka served as an advisor in Trump’s first administration, though he was reportedly forced out of the role.

Forbes
6/ Parmi les membres de son équipe, Sebastian Gorka a été critiqué pour ses liens avec des groupes pro-nazis. Trump lui-même a été accusé de reprendre des éléments de la rhétorique nazie, notamment avec des termes dégradants sur les immigrants. #Gorka #Rhetorique

Trump’s Gorka pick met with outrage: he’s ‘as dangerous as he is unqualified’

Even among a host of TV personalities and alleged sex traffickers, far-right commentator is a step too far for some
John Bolton: “Obviously, everybody is now focusing on the top jobs. But the questions of who are the deputy secretaries, who are the undersecretaries, and so on, is also going to tell us a lot about who’s actually running the government.”

"'Out of what seems to be the endless parade of whackadoos, smackbrains, rockheads, fanatics, lunatics, and general shit-for-brains that has been following El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago [Tr*mp] ever since he rode down the escalator [at Tr*mp Tower in 2015] and sent the American idea of self-government on an express escalator to hell, none have been more ridiculous than "Doctor" Sebastian Gorka.'"
