A collection of my Fediverse blog posts about fascism and current events, published from April 13th to 15th, 2025. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I wrote a lot about the Trump regime, ICE, and nazi billionaires.

The Skinny: Pork Reich on Parade

"If they get away with this, or even if they can just successfully use it to justify applying government pressure against an extremely large, well-funded news organization, there’s no limit to how far these nazis will take this. This is how a fascist regime transforms the entire media environment into pro-Trump, state news outlets and it won’t just stop with the Fox-ification of media orgs either."

a #thread about 222-225 MHz license grants:
> The #FCC continues to authorize non #amateurRadio operations in amateur #radio spectrum. <SNIP //@emory> The problem it brings is precedence, which is how many mechanisms of law work. The precedent set giving way to a case being made that they have greater need for the spectrum than we, and an opportunity for the FCC to auction or otherwise reallocate the band.

Company name is "CHAOS". spectrum we lose, we don't get back. 🎙️

Trump’s FCC chair threatens Comcast, demands changes to NBC news coverage

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused Comcast of "news distortion" because its subsidiary NBC isn't parroting the Trump administration narrative on the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

"Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest. News distortion doesn't cut it," Carr wrote in a post on X yesterday.

Agent Orange went on another Truth Social rampage because the news dared to speak unfavourably of him.

The parallels to the 1933-1935 era continue to come thick and fast, as explained in this video.

If America isn't careful, it may become another country with state-controlled media.

Continued thread

Sunday night’s post about #CBS is the latest example of #Trump encouraging his appointees to apply government pressure against his critics. In recent months, Carr has flaunted his MAGA credentials & launched #FCC investigations of several media outlets Trump has derided, including #ABC & #NBC. Carr was photographed last week wearing a gold pin with a silhouette of Trump’s head [wtf?].
