A leaked Justice Department memo directs federal prosecutors to press “domestic terrorism” charges against individuals who record immigration operations.
I knew this was gonna happen. “terrorism” being defined as “violence and intimidation for political means” … the authorities claiming that recording them is not only intimidation, but that intimidation is de facto the threat of violence!
“Speech is violence” is what they claim, which equates to political speech = terrorism.
It’s for this reason I believe “terrorism” in and of itself shouldn’t be a crime. But I digress.
[FTA} the Justice Department encourages federal prosecutors to press “domestic terrorism” charges against people for “doxing” law enforcement officers. […] which the Justice Department insinuates is a threatening activity used to “silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.”
Hostile actors not belonging to a state recognized by the government.
Hence why russians in UKR are soldiers but Hamas are terrorists (and not IDF)
Even by that cynical definition though, calling nonviolent actors filming police is laughable.
(The PLA guys in great britian makes sense when you consider they assaulted an army personel woth a sledge hammer while commiting their act of sabotage which the news seemed to conveniently ignore in most articles)
Terrorism has always been a convenient label for “official enemies”.

I saw this coming whenever they claimed terrorists were unlawful enemy combatants back in the early 2000s
You’re just being paranoid.
