The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…
…
“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”
How can I get on it?
I assume keeping my phone on while protesting at the next No Kings priest will help, as will posting “fuck you, rapist pedophile corrupt asshole felon Trump” here…
But how can I be sure? 👀
I’m ready to fight but don’t really know where to direct my anger
Starting violence is exactly what they want you to do. I’m not saying it’s never the right call but ultimately a civil war will be bad for everyone
Yeah that’s fair. I’ve been through the ACLU de-escalation training and stuff and won’t actively start violence at a peaceful protest or anything, but if I get targeted because of said protesting and end up being targeted by ice (I’m a green card holder, not a citizen) then I’ll go down fighting for sure
Yeah, that’s absolutely fair. Stay safe
I’ve been party to a few of these exchanges recently, and between open citizen violence and letting things go on as they are, I think I am now rooting for our society to just collapse under its own weight. And with enough mismanagement, it certainly will (already is). While that will produce a great deal of suffering, at least it could provide a chance to fix some things.
maybe a chance things will be fixed, or will they just get worse? I think the latter is more likely
Get involved with your local General Strike discord. Good people.
Organizing on discord sounds like a great way to end up on the list.
If you are an American that registered as a democrat or voted in a democratic primary, you’re already on it.
