MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 22, 2004: Education Secretary Rod Paige called the nation’s largest teachers union, National Education Association (NEA), a terrorist organization. No teachers were killed or imprisoned for belonging to the union under the Bush administration, but the government did use the epithet to justify imprisoning citizens and non-citizens indefinitely without trial for being “terrorists.” And the 20-year “war on terror” that Bush initiated led to at least 900,000 deaths, according to Brown University’s Costs of War project (<a href="https://www.brown.edu/news/2021-09-01/costsofwar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">brown.edu/news/2021-09-01/cost</span><span class="invisible">sofwar</span></a>). However, Professor Catherine Lutz, co-author of report, called this a vast undercount. She said that “one has to multiply that direct death number… by an estimated two to four times to get to the total number of people – in the millions – who are dead today who would not have been dead had the wars not been fought.” This would put Bush up there with the top ten most murderous world leaders of the past 100 years.</p><p>Currently, the Trump administration is using the “terrorist” epithet to justify the mass deportation of immigrant “criminals.” In reality, they are going after anyone who doesn’t look “white,” including many who have never been accused of a crime. There have already been numerous reports of citizens and legal residents, including Indigenous people, being deported or imprisoned. Trump is also using the epithet to justify flying CIA spy drones over Mexico to surveil drug cartels, in violation of international law. And, in the future, he could start using armed drones to kill people accused of gang affiliation, whether they are in Mexico, El Salvador, or the working-class communities of major U.S. cities, like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Indeed, Todd Zimmerman, the DEA’s special agent in Mexico City, said that U.S. military action in Mexico was on the table (<a href="https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-02-21/trump-militarizes-approach-to-mexico" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">latimes.com/world-nation/story</span><span class="invisible">/2025-02-21/trump-militarizes-approach-to-mexico</span></a>).</p><p>If the U.S. government did start targeting its own citizens as “terrorists,” it would nothing new. They are already calling pro-Palestinian activists terrorists, attempting to label all of them as Hamas symps, and threatening deport any who don’t have U.S. citizenship. They prosecuted and imprisoned numerous environmental and animal rights activists as terrorists in the 90’s and early 2000’s. In the 1960s and early ‘70s, they murdered numerous activists from organizations they labeled as “terrorists,” like the Black Panthers and American Indian Movement. And going back at least as far as the 1860s, they were falsely accusing Irish union organizers of being Molly Maguire terrorists, wrongfully executing 10 of them on June 21, 1877, the second largest single-day mass execution in U.S. history, after the 1862 mass execution of 38 Dakota Indians. Considering Trump’s goal of abolishing, or at least gutting, the Department of Education; his hatred of unions; and the anti-union objectives of Protest 2025; it is not hard to see the “terrorist” epithet again being hurled at teacher unions, and at all unions (except, perhaps, those that affiliate with a future pro-MAGA American Labor Front, like Hitler’s German Labor Front). </p><p>Or, we could just start arming teachers, as many on the right have demanded, and see where that takes us…</p><p>You can read more about the so-called Molly Maguires here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/13/the-myth-of-the-molly-maguires/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/</span><span class="invisible">13/the-myth-of-the-molly-maguires/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrorism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/waronterror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waronterror</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bush</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilians</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/massmurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>massmurder</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MollyMaguires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MollyMaguires</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/irish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>irish</span></a></p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Very Serious PeopleTM: "You can't run around pushing alarmist ideas about fascism and saying they're gonna build concentration camps!"</p><p>Me: "Are you kidding me? You already live in a fascist police state with a fully-functioning carceral industrial complex that actively profits from racialized warehousing of "undesirables" and nobody even blinks. The camps are already built, they're all around you we just call them prisons!"</p><p>Trump: "Lol, no; we're literally gonna build camps and put them in places where there is no law."</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/gitmo-concentration-camp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/gitmo-co</span><span class="invisible">ncentration-camp</span></a></p><p>'He's Building a Concentration Camp': Fears Grow as Images Emerge of Offshore Prison at Gitmo</p><p>"Sending immigrants from the U.S. to Guantánamo and holding them incommunicado without access to counsel or the outside world opens a new shameful chapter in the history of this notorious prison," said ACLU deputy director of immigrant rights Lee Gelernt. "It is unlawful for our government to use Guantánamo as a legal black hole, yet that is exactly what the Trump administration is doing."</p><p>Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director of Detention Watch Network, said Friday that expansion of operations at Guantánamo "is especially alarming given its remote location and the decades-long documented history of abuse and torture there, which will only be exacerbated by the well-documented abuse inherent to the ICE detention system, including abuse, unsanitary conditions, and medical neglect. In no uncertain terms—lives are in jeopardy."</p><p>I'd say between this and the Trump administration's brazen deal with El Salvador to jail even U.S. Citizens in their "mega-prison" it's very clear what this government's plan for purging people they don't like is, and yes that plan is every bit as cartoonishly fascist as even Trump's most ardent critics have suggested. Furthermore, I would note that as many observers at the time predicted would happen eventually if we embraced a fascist police state to "fight terrorism" in the wake of 9-11, the Trump administration is clearly borrowing heavily from both a bipartisan migrant carceral complex pattern, and a (again bipartisan) history of using offshore prisons in places where American law doesn't apply to commit human rights violations against "bad hombres" - the major difference here is that Trump is now planning on doing that to your neighbors and the lady who works at the nail salon up the street. </p><p>"According to critics like Robinson, "There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."</p><p>You can't even say Robinson is speaking about a hypothetical situation because the American security state has already done this, for this precise reason, in slightly different circumstances - most people just weren't paying that much attention because "we gotta get Bin Laden." At this point the enter apparatus and justification for that apparatus already exists in "reasonable" American thought along bipartisan lines; the only thing we're missing from the literal Nazi blueprint is organized mass extermination campaigns and are YOU prepared to promise we won't get there? I sure couldn't.</p><p>While obviously this must be opposed vigorously, it's going to be pretty hard for a mainstream establishment that embraced the road to concentration camps in the name of national security, and has wholly surrendered to the idea that migrants are a "problem" that must be met with "carceral force" (that happens to make certain people very rich) to argue that this scenario is somehow different than the previous mind-numbingly fascist scenarios our entire state apparatus has supported in the past - both to stop migrants, and to prosecute the so-called "War on Terror." </p><p>You can't have a little fascism; and if you try, sooner or later you're going to have a lot more fascism. And boy, we've been trying for a very long time.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConcentrationCamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConcentrationCamps</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gitmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gitmo</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WarOnTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnTerror</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nativism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 16, 1991: The U.S. invaded Kuwait and Iraq. By the end of the First Gulf War, the U.S., under President George H.W. Bush, had killed over 1,000,000 Iraqis from the bombings and the effects of the five-year embargo they imposed. Then, ten years later, Al-Qaeda would attack the U.S., prompting Bush’s son, President George W. Bush, to launch the “War on Terror,” which was, in actuality, a war OF terror that would lead to the deaths of 4.6 million people and at least 38 million people displaced (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_terror" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_t</span><span class="invisible">error</span></a>).

DoomsdaysCW<p>VICTORY! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a> Increases Transparency and Accountability for its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FusionCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FusionCenter</span></a> </p><p>By Matthew Guariglia<br>June 26, 2023</p><p>"In a major step for reigning in the unaccountable power of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FusionCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FusionCenters</span></a>, the Maine state House and Senate have passed HP 947, An Act to Increase the Transparency and Accountability of the Maine Information and Analysis Center. The bill creates an Auditor position within the Office of the Attorney General whose job it is to conduct regular reviews of the Main Information and Analysis Center’s (MIAC) activities, to keep records, and to share information with the public. The bill also makes any information MIAC shares with private entities a public record and therefore accessible to the public.</p><p>"This bill comes after a years-long concerted effort by Maine activists and concerned citizens who have been fighting for accountability in how MIAC collects, shares, and utilizes information about Mainers. In June 2021, a bill that would have defunded the fusion center entirely passed 88-54 out of the Maine House of Representatives before being defeated in the state senate.</p><p>"Fusion centers are yet another unnecessary cog in the surveillance state—and one that serves the intrusive function of coordinating surveillance activities and sharing information between federal law enforcement, the national security surveillance apparatus, and local and state police, with little to no oversight. Across the United States, there are at least 78 fusion centers that were formed by the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of the War on Terror and the rise of post-9/11 mass surveillance. Since their creation, fusion centers have been hammered by politicians, academics, and civil society groups for their ineffectiveness, dysfunction, mission creep, and unregulated tendency to veer into policing political views. As scholar Brendan McQuade wrote in his book Pacifying the Homeland: Intelligence Fusion and Mass Supervision:</p><p>"'On paper, fusion centers have the potential to organize dramatic surveillance powers. In practice however, what happens at fusion centers is circumscribed by the politics of law enforcement. The tremendous resources being invested in counterterrorism and the formation of interagency intelligence centers are complicated by organization complexity and jurisdictional rivalries. The result is not a revolutionary shift in policing but the creation of uneven, conflictive, and often dysfunctional intelligence-sharing systems.”</p><p>"An explosive 2023 report from Rutgers University’s Center for Security, Race and Rights also provides more evidence of why these centers are invasive, secretive, and dangerous. In the report, researchers documented how New Jersey’s fusion center leveraged national security powers to spy almost exclusively on Muslim, Arab, and Black communities and push an already racially biased criminal justice system into overdrive through aggressive enforcement of misdemeanor and quality of life offenses.</p><p>"After a series of leaks that revealed communications from within police departments, fusion centers, and law enforcement agencies across the country, MIAC came under particular scrutiny for sharing dubious intelligence generated by far-right wing social media accounts with local law enforcement. Specifically, MIAC helped perpetuate disinformation that stacks of bricks and stones had been strategically placed throughout a Black Lives Matter protest as part of a larger plan for destruction, and caused police to plan and act accordingly. This was, to put it plainly, a government intelligence agency spreading fake news that could have deliberately injured people exercising their First Amendment rights. This controversy unfolded shortly after a whistleblower lawsuit from a state trooper that alleged the fusion center routinely violated civil rights.</p><p>"When it comes to fighting these dangerous relics of the War on Terror, activists in Maine are leading the way for the rest of the country. EFF will continue to support organizations and local groups willing to take on fusion centers in their legislatures. Congratulations to the hard-working activists and concerned residents in Maine."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/06/victory-maine-increases-transparency-and-accountability-its-fusion-center" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2023/06/vict</span><span class="invisible">ory-maine-increases-transparency-and-accountability-its-fusion-center</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EFF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MIAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MIAC</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Transparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transparency</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarOnTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnTerror</span></a></p>

The statute contains a sweeping worldwide indefinite detention provision. While President Obama issued a signing statement saying he had 'serious reservations' about the provisions, the statement only applies to how his administration would use the authorities granted by the NDAA, and would not affect how the law is interpreted by subsequent administrations. The White House had threatened to veto an earlier version of the NDAA, but reversed course shortly before Congress voted on the final bill.</p><p>"'President Obama's action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,' said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director. 'The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and FUTURE PRESIDENTS to militarily <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/detain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>detain</span></a> people captured far from any battlefield. The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally.'</p><p>"Under the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BushAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BushAdministration</span></a>, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress now assert that the NDAA should be used in the same way again. The ACLU believes that any military detention of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanCitizens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanCitizens</span></a> or others within the United States is unconstitutional and illegal, including under the NDAA. In addition, the breadth of the NDAA’s detention authority violates international law because it is not limited to people captured in the context of an actual armed conflict as required by the laws of war.</p><p>"'We are incredibly disappointed that President Obama signed this new law even though his administration had already claimed overly broad detention authority in court,' said Romero. “Any hope that the Obama administration would roll back the constitutional excesses of George Bush in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarOnTerror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnTerror</span></a> was extinguished today. Thankfully, we have three branches of government, and the final word belongs to the Supreme Court, which has yet to rule on the scope of detention authority. But Congress and the president also have a role to play in cleaning up the mess they have created because no American citizen or anyone else should live in fear of this or any future president misusing the NDAA’s detention authority.'"</p><p><a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/president-obama-signs-indefinite-detention-bill-law" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aclu.org/press-releases/presid</span><span class="invisible">ent-obama-signs-indefinite-detention-bill-law</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NDAA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExpandedPowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExpandedPowers</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPresidency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPresidency</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HR9495</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Terrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Terrorists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Activists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Activists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a></p>
