As it turns out, Pete Hegseth's plan for a portable military dictatorship wasn't the only horrifying news coming out of the Defense Department this week. Reports also indicate that the Pentagon is reviewing a request by DHS for a permanent force of 20,000 troops to perform immigration policing tasks directly. Furthermore, and even more ominously, the Trump regime is also exploring the use of military bases around the country to cage captured migrants, or anyone else the feds want to arrest.
Trump wants 20,000 troops to hunt, transport immigrants. Cost estimate: $3.6 billion
"The Pentagon is reviewing a Department of Homeland Security request to deploy more than 20,000 additional National Guard troops to aid the Trump administration's widening crackdown on illegal immigration around the United States, according to officials and documents.
Homeland Security officials want the troops to help track fugitives, quell riots at detention centers and search for unaccompanied children in remote or hostile terrain.
Meanwhile, Pentagon and Customs and Border Patrol officials have inspected military bases in recent months from New Jersey to California as potential sites to detain an expected influx of migrants."
I don't know how many more "smoke em if you've got em" moments Trump 2.0 can produce before my lungs give out, but this is absolutely horrifying news that isn't getting nearly enough coverage in the media. What the regime is proposing here is more or less transforming 20K National Guardsmen into a militarized arm of ICE, Border Patrol, and the private prison companies we pay to warehouse captured migrants, entirely under the command of the Gestapo, and thus Trump. This brings up three major issues:
First of all this is a transparent attempt to increase the military capabilities of the Gestapo, circumventing the need to invoke the Insurrection Act and straight up just using the National Guard for immigration policing in the American interior; so your town, anywhere in the country. The tasks Noem is requesting thousands of troops for, including hunting down "fugitives," surveillance, transportation support, and guarding prisons, are all activities budgeted for and performed by other federal agencies and contractors already. How exactly this isn't Noem massively increasing the size of the Gestapo without legislative branch approval is absolutely fucking beyond me; we're out here having a debate about the optics of using National Guardsmen to protect Gestapo raids, and she's just recruiting an army as far as I can tell. If this bullshit is approved, it's going to put armed soldiers in your streets all over the country to hunt down or cage brown people, and while I am absolutely certain it's a violation of the *spirit* of the the Posse Comitatus Act, informal precedents that were never designed to facilitate a fascist regime conducting an ethnic cleansing operation against the will of state Governors, lead me to believe there's a good chance this is all "legal."
Additionally, transforming military bases into migrant prisons, and using US military personnel to guard caged migrants is a way to drastically expand Trump's gulag system without the traditionally required legislative approval as well. Don't sleep on the fact that the DHS proposal talks about "overwhelmed detention facilities" and "riot control." Why is the Trump regime expecting detention facilities to be "overwhelmed," who do they expect to "riot," and given what we've seen these assclown nazis call rioting and insurrection, what does "riot" even mean in this context? It sounds to me like Noem wants permanent troops to man private prisons, put down migrant carceral riots, and attack protestors demonstrating outside of immigration detention facilities. Just how many people are the Gestapo planning on locking up here?
Finally of course, we can't forget that a fascist police state for targeting migrants, is a fascist police state for targeting anyone else too. We've already seen what the Trumpenreich can accomplish with a ready bake army of 4,000+ in terms of taking over a Democrat-run city against the wishes of state and municipal representatives, so what could Trump accomplish with 20,000+ National Guardsmen under his command and at the ready? Barring widespread kinetic resistance, I'd wager that 20K National Guardsman is more or less enough troops to occupy all the parts of the country that didn't vote for Trump and wouldn't obey his (often illegal or unconstitutional) edicts otherwise.
Folks, I'm not trying to be an alarmist here but as I've mentioned numerous times before, there comes a point where you *have* to stop entertaining the possibility that the Trumpenreich is "accidentally" building a police state dictatorship. If you purposely build it, you mean to use it, and these nazi assclowns are certainly building it.

As millions take the streets across the US and beyond, it's important to remember that grassroots direct action is the path forward, not spectacles and parades that only set the stage for the next regime of horrors.
"Those in power want to paint our only way forward as a choice between a Trump dictatorship and a neoliberal hellscape. A choice between two competing versions of authoritarian capitalism is no choice at all – it is a death sentence. People in LA are facing down the National Guard sent in by Trump and thousands of riot police and a city-wide curfew, put in place by Democrats.
Like the people taking the streets in Los Angeles, we must choose a third option: fighting our way out and building a new way of life based on cooperation and direct control over the means of existence."

The Russians aren't coming, they are already here. Without most anyone realizing, they've created an entire malicious adtech industry whose story is just as complex as the Chinese organized crime we're now realizing from their ventures into pig butchering.
VexTrio is just one Russian organized crime group in the malicious adtech world, but they are a critical one. They have a very "special" relationship with website hackers that defies logic. I'd put my money on a contractual one. all your bases belong to russian adtech hackers.
Today we've released the first piece of research that may eventually prove whether I am right. This paper is hard. i've been told. I know. We've condensed thousands of hours of research into about 30 pages. @briankrebs tried to make the main points a lot more consumable -- and wrote a fabulous complimentary article : read both!
There's so much more to say... but at the same time, between ourselves and Brian, we've released a lot of lead material ... and there's more to come. I've emphasized the Russian (technically Eastern European) crime here, but as Brian's article points out there is a whole Italian side too. and more.
We've given SURBL, Spamhaus, Cloudflare, Domain Tools, several registrars, and many security companies over 100k domains. They are also posted on our open github.

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

"Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls." – Ice T
Yesterday I told readers I was waiting to write about the fascist federal invasion conducted by the Trump regime, on the city of Los Angeles because I didn't think we were yet at a point where the whole story, which remains ongoing, could be properly contextualized. Yesterday, by illegally commandeering 2,000 California National Guardsmen, and deploying them to suppress protests that were at that time entirely peaceful, the Trumpenreich provided that context on livestream. The regime staged a miniature invasion of LA and its surrounding communities; partly as a form of reprisal for Angelinos disrupting Trump's fascist mass deportations, partly to provoke a conflict that would allow the government to at least threaten to invoke the Insurrection Act, and partly to further criminalize Trump's political opposition as he drives America towards a one-party fascist dictatorship.
A cursory examination of the Trump regime's statements and behavior over the weekend make it abundantly clear that this violent fascist political theater was not spontaneous, and Stephen Miller, Trump's hate goblin deputy chief of staff who is clearly running this nazi shitshow, is fully aware of the size of the game he and the Trump regime are now playing. No matter what happens from here, this is a huge story, with ramifications that are going to be felt for the rest of the Swine Emperor's time in office at a minimum; much in the way that DHS human trafficking flights to El Salvador, or the regime's quest to deport Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and others for anti-genocide speech, defined the opening 100 days of Trump's clearly fascist presidency, the invasion of LA is going to define the next phase of the fight against US fascism.
Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society that values property over people, and embraces violent murderpigs and soldiers, while demonizing marginalized people and protestors. Already the broader story of what we all just watched on livestreams and newsfeeds, is being massaged into a victim-blaming narrative that simultaneously absolves both the Trump regime's fascist provocations, and the excessive violence of local police forces against almost entirely peaceful protestors who had every right, if not a civic responsibility to try and stop illegal fascist abductions and open civil rights violations in their communities. Statements are being memory-holed, timelines are being distorted, and a million (mostly) white talking heads are starting to "just ask questions" about whether the horrifying security state violence on your screen was justified because some of the protestors had bottle rockets and someone set robo-taxis on fire; as if "violence" against property is a thing that exists, and mere vandalism is morally equivalent to stomping protestors with police horses and firing "nonlethal" rounds at journalists.
In order to combat that phenomenon, I'd like to establish in extremely broad strokes, a rough outline of what I personally just watched unfold over three days in L.A.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration ordered ICE to drastically scale up migrant detainment numbers, including instructions to raid community businesses, make arrests without judicial orders, and grab bystanders agents merely think might be undocumented.
On Friday, militarized ICE units start conducting raids across the LA area using these new tactics, which are civil rights violations; Angelinos, who receive no protection from these violations from local authorities, understandably become angry and begin nonviolently protesting and working to disrupt these fascist mass deportations. At this point, the protests are peaceful and the only crimes being committed are vandalism, and obstructing ICE; who again are violating civil rights, and conducting militarized raids as part of a fascist mass deportation scheme.
Despite this, the Trump regime repeatedly declares that there's a violent insurrection going on in LA, illegally commandeers 2,000 California National Guardsmen, and deploys them to the LA area; these soldiers are then used on Sunday to threaten protestors and clear roads for the feds conducting mass migrant arrests. At *this* point, realizing they're being invaded, Angelinos start fighting back, and numerous violent police reprisals against protestors are filmed till we arrive at this moment, with Trump and Newsom in a political standoff and the whole US establishment trying to pretend vandalism is violence and that "breaking the law" to stop fascist murderpigs from rounding up your neighbors is a greater crime than the fascist mass deportations Angelinos were obstructing.
That's the story I saw this weekend, and the story I'm going to keep talking about going forward; no matter how many Very Serious People TM in our discourse try to make lies the truth, and fascist police repression the moral option.

I really cannot stress this enough. When I visited France, I visited a building where I read an entry in a log book where a Nazi recorded my great-grandmother's death in the camps. The name of this building was the "Musée de la Résistance et de la *Déportation*". It was not the "museum of the death camps" because they don't _call_ them death camps. While it's happening, they call it "deportations". The name "death camps" shows up once the occupying army is rolling their tanks into your capital.

What austerity has demonstrated again & again, is that if you cut everyday social services, you push many people into personal crisis, who then require emergency interventions; which are so much more costly they wipe out any initial saving(s) made by the cuts.
This key factor lies behind the situation that in so many sectors we seem to be paying more for a worse public service; the money now is flowing towards emergency provision to deal with failure(s).
