A leaked memo written by US Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Department of Justice to compile a list of potential “domestic terrorism” organizations that espouse “extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment.”

    My sentiment is against American Facism. Far as I am concerned, Dogey Americans have willfully abandoned the Constitution and their humanity.

    It is my hope that true Americans will be able to fight back, be it legally or on the battlefield. It would be nice if things can be settled with a positive peace…but I don’t think it can happen without blood anymore. After all, Alligator Alcatraz uses this on people:

      Americans are too burned out from working their shitty dead-end jobs for peanuts to do anything about it.

      They have their parents to thank for pigeonholing them down that path.

    Extreme viewpoints on immigration. Doesn’t Trump constantly make inflammatory and objectively false statements about immigrants? Are we seriously expecting them to compile a list with Donald Trump at the top.

    Radical gender ideology. I am sorry, but have they even proved this is somehow harmful. Where is the proof radical gender ideology is even a problem!? It effects such a small portion of the population it is ridiculous to even bring it up.

    Anti-American sentiment. You mean like being racist, anti immigration, calling for death or punishment of those who disagree with you. People trying to tear down government agencies? You can’t make this shit up. So once again are we expected to believe they are making a list with MAGA at the top

    Absolute garbage when we have insane issues we are dealing with everyday. Monumental waste of time. They are going to be taking agents off important cases for this hogwash. This type of misuse and abuse of governmental agencies is criminal in nature.

    I have the name of the largest domestic extremist group which is also the biggest purveyor of anti-American sentiment, and it’s called the Republican Party.

      According to her boss she is supposed to prevent exactly that. Well, at least the interesting parts.

      Modern nazis are the same as the old nazis.

      Everything you don’t like is terrorism when you agree with the most fragile ideologies ever conceived by talking apes.

    They have no intention of doing any actions towards citizens critical of the government right now, they’re already swimming against a tide of hate towards the administration’s overreach.

    Not yet at least. The idea here, like with everything so far, is to introduce the idea, let it keep bubbling up once in a while, and then we all get sick of the story and stop caring so much when it gets brought up again, but this time more seriously.

      With the help of palentyr they are cataloguing all of us far before they will do anything directly with it.

        Exactly, and as long as everyone is freaking out about will-they-or-wont-they on these radical ideas like deporting millions of people or invading canada or shutting down democracy, in the background entities like Palantir have soared in power and reach because nobody senses nearly the threat from that vague, intangible thing as they do from armed ICE agents marching on peaceful neighborhoods.

        But in the long run, a nationwide surveillance and data-gathering program will allow them to quietly and effectively depose all opposition without it even making the news.

    The memo identifies the “domestic terrorism threat” as organizations that use “violence or the threat of violence” to advance political goals such as “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality.”
