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.”

      They use to use “Godless” as a slur. I guess they can’t anymore because they also want to punish people who don’t believe in a god the same way they do.

        Of course they can, because the only God and way of worship is theirs.

          No, my point is that they can’t dismiss the “Godless” as the enemy, because that technically includes the other religions. They now need to say “Anti-Christian” to mean the same thing

    The fact that NSPM-7 wasn’t THE headline since it was signed on September 25th is an utterly damning indictment of our media and what they focus on. There have been a multitude of things since then that are also utterly damning indictments of our media, but NSPM-7 was like, the whole fucking game. It’s saying “I’m gonna paint with a broad brush and tell the FBI and other DHS orgs and internal security bullshit to surveil and persecute people I don’t like, and whose ideas I don’t like”.

    So much for keeping the republic.

    On what fucking grounds? I love how in america today nothing has to make sense and no one even feels the need to argue in favor of nonsensical views. They just state them as fact and get emotional about them if challenged.

    It’s “terrorism” to wish for a better society if that view of society conflicts with the current economic system. What a fucked up joke of a world. I guess this is an accidental admission that we’re an oligarchy, since you’re seen as an existential threat if your views would make the 1% less rich.

    Capitalism is evil and this government should be disbanded and everyone running it should be in prison at minimum.

    Well, antifascist, anticapitalist, anti-colonialist, atheist, pro-trans, I guess I would be arrested right at the border at the land of the free. Good luck with the pedo-dictatorship USA.

      Here’s a horrible fact, almost every dictatorship in history has been a pedo dictatorship.

      Authoritarianism and pedophillia seem to go hand in hand, but because the pedo dictator almost always focuses on teenagers, this aspect of authoritarianism tends to go under reported.

    He will use this to arrest Mamdani, mark my words. AOC and Sanders too. And any other democratic socialist, basically.
