AnarchoNinaAnalyzesWell, if you were expecting the cybersecurity industry to respond any better to Trump using government access to target one of its firms, than Big Law did, I suspect you're going to be disappointed:<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cybersecurity-industry-falls-silent-trump-turns-ire-sentinelone-2025-04-10/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cybersecurity-industry-falls-silent-trump-turns-ire-sentinelone-2025-04-10/</a>Cybersecurity industry falls silent as Trump turns ire on SentinelOne"Krebs' speech was followed by applause then, but Reuters found little sign of industry support for Krebs or SentinelOne as they face Trump now.Katie Moussouris, founder of Luta Security, said she doubted the industry would publicly back SentinelOne given the White House's actions."I don't think it's feasible for cybersecurity companies to have a broader response on this," she said. "The risk is just too high."Reuters contacted 33 of the largest U.S. cybersecurity companies, including tech companies and professional services firms with large cybersecurity practices, and three industry groups, for comment on Trump's action against SentinelOne.Only one offered comment on Trump's action. The rest declined, did not respond or did not answer questions."We kind of touched on this story already in another thread, but the short version is that Trump is using federal security clearances to damage a company called SentinelOne, for employing Chris Krebs - a former Trump official who balked at supporting Der Leader's "big lie" that the 2020 election is stolen. This is petty revenge, and a warning shot to everyone else in the industry that Trump can come after them if they displease him; but it's also about making the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election part of official regime policy and punishing anyone who disputes that with the full force of the DoJ and federal government. On one hand, this isn't as big a story as Trump conscripting DC's biggest law firms via executive order, or the Yarvinite quest to have the regime literally seize control of higher education institutions via false claims about fighting antisemitism. What it is however, is a demonstration that Trump's success in those endeavors so far has emboldened him to extend his reach, and provided him with a successful model for how to use his power as POTUS to enforced ideological conformity, and assert direct control over portions of the private sector. As long as everyone stays silent, surrenders, or worse: openly collaborates, there's really no reason to believe he's going to stop doing this any time soon. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChrisKrebs</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SentinelOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SentinelOne</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TheBigLie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheBigLie</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesOne of the stranger things about analyzing Downmarket Mussolini's fascist executive orders is the way folks around me are always prepared to write off some of the most dangerous things Der Leader tries to do as mere "petty vindictiveness." Take for example Trump's recent executive orders targeting a law firm that sued Fox News for spreading lies about an electronic voting machine company, and two former members of his previous administration - a DHS official who refuted Trump's blatantly false claims that the 2020 election was rigged for Joe Biden, and a whistleblower he's accusing of Espionage Act violations and has accused of treason in the past. Is this about revenge for our (not so) beloved tangerine tyrant? Of course, but particularly in the first two cases, this is also about establishing Der Führer's "Big Lie" about the 2020 election being rigged against him, as the only officially sanctioned truth the government, and by extension its judiciary branch, should recognize.First up we have the president signing an executive order designed to punish Susman Godfrey for forcing the Trump regime's quasi-official state news outlet, Fox, to settle with Dominion Voting Systems after they spent literally months openly broadcasting fascist conspiracy theories about the 2020 election (that Trump lost) being rigged:<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-executive-order-fox-news-law-firm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-executive-order-fox-news-law-firm</a>Trump signs order targeting law firm behind $787.5m Fox defamation suit"Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday punishing the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain a $787.5m settlement from Fox for lies about the 2020 election.The order against the firm, Susman Godfrey, marks the latest effort by the president to punish attorneys and firms who have opposed his interests.The order seeks to harm the firm by limiting its attorneys from accessing government buildings, revoking security clearances and essentially making it impossible for it to represent anyone who has business before the federal government."Like a lot of Trump's efforts to punish or intimidate law firms, this blatantly unconstitutional executive order is mostly about trying to put Susman Godfrey out of business by denying them access to the federal government, and the courtrooms it controls. What's telling here is that Trump isn't even trying to make the argument that the firm broke any laws, or violated any rules; no reason for the executive order was given, and the president has only said "there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms,” because Trump hasn't found a valid excuse for this ideological policing and he's not ready to just up and admit he's trying to take out his perceived political enemies for A) disputing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and B) forcing his friends at Fox to pay for its libelous claims about Dominion. Which then brings us to Trump's blatantly authoritarian use of the DoJ to target two of his political "enemies" that served in his administration, but spoke out against the regime and in Krebs's case, actively debunked "The Big Lie" Trump has been telling about the 2020 election being rigged against him since it happened:<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-justice-department-critics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-justice-department-critics</a>Trump orders DoJ to investigate duo who debunked claims of election fraud"Donald Trump’s persecution of critics intensified on Wednesday when he ordered the justice department to investigate a whistleblower and a cybersecurity director who refuted unfounded claims of election fraud.The US president signed memorandums targeting Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, former homeland security officials who served in the first Trump administration."Look my friends, I'm not expecting you to find much sympathy for a Big Law firm rolling in filthy lucre, or two former fascist collaborators that are now finding out the leopards will indeed eat their faces, but in this situation the "who" of this story, is far less important than the "what." What Trump is doing here is weaponizing the US government to punish folks for contradicting his "enforced unreality" surrounding the 2020 election, and let me assure you that there are a lot of people in the judiciary, legal profession, and media who have gone on record saying that Trump's claims where baseless (fascist) conspiracy theories, so that isn't just a question of the president arguing with the experts about some bullshit he picked up on Fox News. Furthermore, Trumps actions ultimately seek to make his enemies, the enemies of the United States government; this is a classic sign of a state sliding into an authoritarian dictatorship and thus cannot be dismissed as Trump simply being a petulant vengeful manchild. Smoke em if you got em, because if Trump gets away with this, we're through the looking glass and his every utterance becomes our new reality.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigLaw</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DoJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoJ</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SusmanGodfrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SusmanGodfrey</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fox</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DominionVotingSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DominionVotingSystems</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TheBigLie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheBigLie</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/2020USElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#2020USElection</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConspiracyTheories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConspiracyTheories</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Targeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Targeting</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MilesTaylor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MilesTaylor</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChrisKrebs</a>

NonilexTo the extent <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>’s executive action got more detailed, it pointed to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChrisKrebs</a>’s role in supposedly censoring Americans’ claims about what Trump calls the “stolen” election, Hunter Biden’s laptop & the covid pandemic.  “CISA, under Krebs’ leadership, suppressed conservative viewpoints under the guise of combatting supposed disinformation,” it reads.  <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/AbuseOfPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseOfPower</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RevengePolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RevengePolitics</a>

NonilexBut about as stunning as the broad concept of these presidential memos is their substance. In the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChrisKrebs</a> executive action, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> lists among Krebs’s supposed offenses that he “falsely & baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged & stolen.” There remains NO EVIDENCE the 2020 election was rigged or stolen, & judges confronted w/purported evidence to that effect routinely ruled against Trump & his allies.…Yet here is Trump suggesting that disputing his claim is grounds for sanctions.
