My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Trump’s baseless “Antifa” terrorist designation has sparked a global echo, with Hungary, Poland, & the Netherlands moving to replicate it. The coordinated effort reframes dissent as terrorism—part of a broader strategy to criminalize opposition while minimizing the real threat of far-right violence.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

At Jack Posobiec's request, Trump is agreeing to designate "antifa" as a foreign terrorist organization.

Unlike the "domestic terrorist organization" EO issued last month, the FTO designation has real teeth, allowing the government to prosecute for material support. www.youtube.com/live/G7hQH3o...

Please amplify, those with a bigger platform than me.

It’s horrifying that the person running the US Homeland Security Twitter uses — and clearly knows — the exact same aesthetics, memes, and propaganda from fashwave, accelerationist, and Nazi Telegram.

It says everything about where we are.

lol, im an anti-American extremist because I support due process and trials against ICE agents who commit crimes against my neighbors in Chicago. also fwiw i don't support the death penalty, they do.

A tweet from Mostly Peaceful Latinas on X: This is how committed Antifa has been to doxing their enemies. At some point they had an "Antifa shoe recognition" tool that would help them identify the identities of people to dox them. They want you unemployed, jailed and/or dead. Get that through your head. Retaliate.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false:

Being anti fascist is considered terrorism now.

Alt text: Screenshot of a document discussing violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” A highlighted section states that the “anti-fascist” movement has become a rallying cry for domestic terrorists to assault democratic institutions, rights, and liberties. It lists common threads such as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, support for overthrowing the U.S. government, and hostility toward traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. The text references an order dated September 22, 2025, designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.

I think a lot of Democrats and left-of-center folks believe he's talking about fringe "antifa" groups in the Pacific Northwest... as opposed to how broad the language really is.

This could be liberal think tanks, ActBlue, Soros Foundation... or even the League of Women Voters or NAACP.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.
