On the fascist theater, propaganda, and deceptions that may lead to the birth of a US dictatorship under Trump unless Americans rise up and stop him. An essay about fascist unreality and the nazi game of Simon Says the Trump regime played during the President of El Salvador's official White House visit, and why the evidence suggests the United States just officially slipped into authoritarianism.

Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American Dictatorship

"t this point I’m honestly not sure how much more evidence fair minded people need to see before they understand the Trump regime’s farcical yet terrifying trafficking of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador had no basis in law or public safety, but was rather just a form of highly-effective fascist propaganda; a grand act of nazi theatre designed to inspire white nationalists, terrorize brown people, and shatter the legal checks on the Klepto Kaiser and his Christian Nationalist regime’s power."

After watching Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spout ableism and eugenic theory on live TV while lying about and dehumanizing folks with autism, I'm alarmed that the story here appears to be "wow RFK Jr is a total crank" What it should be is that everything about RFK Jr’s sham HHS study into the “causes” of autism is a reactionary eugenicist nightmare that threatens the health & lives of autistic people, particular children.

Nina-Bytes: Kennedy, Conspiracies, and Kids

"Reading this piece, two things immediately sprung to mind. First, I wouldn’t let Robert F. Kennedy Jr within ten feet of any child whatsoever if I had the ability to prevent it. Secondly; are we sure putting RFK Jr. in charge of Health and Human Services isn’t just a way to let some sadistic eugenicist freaks torture autistic children and profit from it? Because from out here, it sure does seem like that’s Kennedy’s plan and the reason for his department’s “massive testing and research” effort. I’m not a scientist, but somehow I doubt that conspiracy crank Kennedy and a fake doctor whose family business is apparently torturing children have the best interests of autistic Americans at heart; particularly when Kennedy is openly promoting the eugenicist idea that autism is an “epidemic” that is “destroying our children.”

As Israel openly ramps up it genocidal project to empty Gaza of Palestinians through starvation and murder, and the Trump regime unleashes a fascist police state on targeted protestors at home, it's becoming clear that the machine wants us all to forget about Gaza and let the nightmare happen - but that is precisely why now is not the time to go silent.

"Look friends, I know that this is a really bad time to ask people to stick their necks out to oppose a genocide but Israel just bombed literally the last hospital in Gaza and it barely made the evening news in the United States. The regime and indeed much of the larger ruling class establishment that supports settler colonialism, and profits from the genocide by various means, wants to create an environment where speaking out against the genocide in Gaza and Israel’s settler colonial massacres is just criminal and subversive enough to stop most of us from doing it. This will then allow them to easily isolate and repress a much smaller number of people who are brave enough and otherwise able to resist the genocide directly. It is vital that we counteract this cone of silence effect by keeping the US-backed genocide in Gaza on our lips, and our outrage about crimes against humanity Israel is committing in the discourse; the regime can’t arrest us all – and Gaza, is running out time."

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.

"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."

I don't plan on writing a ton about electoral politics until it's clear we're going to have elections that aren't just straight up rigged, but I expanded some thoughts about Gavin Newsom for the I told you so-s later:

Picture Show: Gavin Newsom is the Problem

https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/04/21/picture-show-gavin-newsom-is-the-problem/

"Speaking frankly, I think Newsom’s eliminationist policies towards unhoused people in California, and his willingness to chum around with nazi Trump regime propagandists on his podcast while agreeing they make some good points about things like trans rights, should be enough to disqualify him from political life immediately, let alone a 2028 Dem nomination run. This is in addition to the fact that he’s a soulless neoliberal who talks like a progressive but has been quietly transforming California into a police state."

In the latest edition of the Skinny I took advantage of the two day Easter truce with reality the Trump regime undertook to catch up on a couple of stories that had fallen by the wayside. Talking Climate Crisis, ideological purges in Trump's federal government, and why RFK Jr is starting to scare the heck out of me.

The Skinny: Stop and Breathe

"It is shockingly disingenuous and absurd for the Trump regime to argue that regulations on air quality, fossil fuel production, environmental pollution control, and nuclear fucking waste are “contrary to the public interest.” Unfortunately that really doesn’t matter because once again it’s clear that the public interest was never the point of the president’s order. The crass level of corruption and self-serving exercise of power the Klepto Kaiser regularly partakes in makes it obvious that this is all just a way to reward his capitalist donors; without having to tolerate pushback from a public that cares very much about clean air to breath, clean water to drink, and a world on fire. Fascist is as fascist does I guess."
