The FBI’s domestic terrorism watchlist is set to double in the coming months, according to journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been reporting on President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” also known as NSPM-7. The memo identifies potential domestic terrorists as someone expressing “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna responded on X, writing, “Trump’s NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with ‘anti-capitalism’ or ‘anti-American’ views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act and war in Iraq. NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.”

    We’ve reached the point in this shitshow of a timeline where being anti-fascist is anti-American.

    Let that sink in, and the let that illustrate how America can never be what it was, or was ever supposed to be.

    If you’re able to leave, I’d advise you to leave. And soon. It’s going to get SO much worse.

      you’re just catching up… being antifascist has always been anti-American in the rest of the world.
