A leaked memo by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Justice Department and FBI to compile a list of groups that may be labeled “domestic terrorism” organizations based on political views related to immigration, gender and U.S. policy. The memo was obtained by independent investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who joins us to discuss how it expands on President Donald Trump’s NSPM-7…

Hey FBI I'm over here and I'm so anti trump I think any living relatives he has should be held accountable somehow.

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

not every living relative lol..... Hi niece Mary has very publicly been calling him out on being a piece of shit for quite a while

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Tell me again about how this is the "land of the free and the home of the brave"?

Empirical evidence seems to be trending in the other direction.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

It never was, but it's much less so now. Many Americans have believed the propaganda for a long time.

Hasn't been since Regan. We're neo-serfdom now.

Damn, I can do all of those things. I wonder how big the bounty is and what you need to do to qualify. I can use a vacation in a tropical ~~hellhole~~ paradise and a little something to retire on ….. it’s probably more likely to pay off than social security

[–] bigmamoth@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans. To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish “a cash reward system” for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations.

Isnt that normal in a country where a poltici comentator was publicly shot and found because of a tip by his familly or that 2 national guard were shoot this month ? The framing seem uterly dishonest

The largest untapped market in the country: people who dislike trump. It's genius

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Fuck off fascists. You gonna arrest 70% of this country??? Even your own "side" is turning on you. "My groceries are too high." <-- that is anti-PEDOnald. "I don't like child rapists." <--- that is anti-PEDOnald.

It's funny because in the early 00s I worked for a gay rights organization and was told pretty flat out, the FBI keeps at least a list with my name on it, if not my own file (holdover from the civil rights era when they did this to all progressive groups). And then Obama came along and we thought a new era was being ushered in. And now in 2025 I run a gay nonprofit and probably have an FBI file again. Oh well, means I'm doing something right, fuck 'em.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got permabanned from Reddit during the February bloodbath, after 12 years and nearly a million Karma, all while ferociously attacking Republicans, MAGA, and especially Trump, who I always referred to as HitlerPig.

I'm sure Spez turned over ALL the files to DOGE like a good little minion, so they've got a nice fat file of ThoughtCrimes® on me.

My favorite thing about Lemmy is people are willing to make accurate criticisms about Obama and his policies instead of simping for him because he's charasmatic and a Democrat.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The left has always criticized Obama. We aren't a cult.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That depends on what one considers "the left". Liberals call themselves leftists and a lot of them will defend him to the death.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Liberals only call themselves leftists because right-wingers tell them they are.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There's a weird disconnect between the left and the right where MAGA especially is so slavishly cultish that their guys can do no wrong. Whereas on the left, we generally have the critical thinking skills to admit that our guys aren't always doing the right thing.

annoying part is you can see they're setting up the same shit with Newscom/Pritzker

make some big publicity stunts on tv talking a big game, doing these cute little marches, all while greenlighting ICE to harass their surrounding poor neighborhoods long as they stay out of their donor neighborhoods

Not me. When he took that stage in that stadium with his family after his election, to a cheering, adoring crowd, and the TV talking heads going on about Hope & Change, I knew he was going to be one more placeholder Democrat, who will last long enough for everyone to forget what shitheads Conservatives are, and allow them back in power to continue their rampage of destruction. That's all Carter, Clinton, and Biden were, too. There hasn't been an effective Democratic president since LBJ.

But they're the lesser of two evils.

and probably have an FBI file again.

I doubt you've ever stopped having one.

Thank you. Thanks for sharing this "seen that, didn't care then, didn't care now" attitude. This is the way you fight and dispell the stochastic terrorism behind this "leak."

Democrats really dropped when the ball when they voted for wet-noodle establishment candidates over progressives like Bernie Sanders.

But hey, at least they don't have to pay more in taxes!

This pathetic POS needs to face the harshest punishment allowed for what he has not only done to little kids but to the entire world.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He won't. He'll die of old age after the best medical care in the world exhausts all options to keep him alive.

The best we can hope for is a stroke to give him locked in syndrome so he can experience a narcissist's hell for a few years first.

[–] cyberwitch@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Chin up, theres a non-zero chance he will die in his piss while hearing his sycophants squabble over his wasting body like Stalin.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is the sad truth, even if the democrats and Republicans somehow united and said 'to hell with this jackass, let's arrest him and try him properly' he will probably die before even that trial is complete.

Donald Trump is such a disgusting criminal individual it isn't funny. Everything he accuses his enemies of he is guilty of himself, including the recent accusations of mortgage fraud.

In his mind rules and laws aren't for allowing society to function, but as tools to get his enemies in trouble, and at the same none should apply to him.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

someone should take one for the team and form an alternative socialist government of the united states as a micronation. seriously!

[–] tover153@lemmy.world 121 points 2 days ago (10 children)

This is harder to type than it probably should be. Back in 2015, because of the way I was raised in an extreme conservative evangelical household as a preacher’s kid, I was a Republican. I had already broken with that world in every meaningful way, but I had not actually sat down and examined what I believed. So there I was, still actively involved in politics. I helped campaign for Romney. I made more than three thousand phone calls, which I am pretty sure qualifies as a minor war crime. I was on the election staff of a representative who, for the record, had not been elected yet when I worked for her. I was a special elector. I was on the county central committee. I worked every election since 2011 with an R behind my name.

And then they picked the orange man. I wrote the Chairwoman a very long letter explaining, in polite terms, that this was not going to work for me. I switched my affiliation to Independent. Unfortunately, I still had not figured out where the world was heading, so I voted for Gary Johnson. The less said about that period of my life, the better.

When the Senate Election Committee decided to finance Roy Moore, I walked directly to the courthouse, changed my registration to Democrat, and started working elections for that party instead. There is a point where a person realizes the boat is not just sinking, it was built upside down to begin with.

Anyway, based on the tone of that old letter, I find myself hoping I ended up on a list somewhere for Pam Bondi. It would be nice to feel important for a moment. Besides, what a spectacular waste of resources it would be to track down one Army veteran who lives in an RV in the middle of nowhere.

Out of the current "R" brand spread, Romney at least had some character. I wouldn't beat yourself up too bad about things you did many many years ago, reflection is hard, growing up is hard - you are a champion for being man enough and introspective enough to grow as a person. Also I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing.

Reading only the post's title, my first thought was "hey, I have a truckload of anti-trump thought, where do I get my reward?"

This is some fucked up shit right here. You have your own STASI now in the USA. Congrats on that, fucking morons. 🤣 HOW could you elect this dude TWICE?! You folks are nuttier than nuts.

You're probably not going to reach a lot of trump supporters here. If you want to talk to the ones reasonable try twitter or Facebook.

Have a friend working as an AUSA in Texas and he can confirm this letter went out a week ago.

It's very vaguely and broadly written. Doesn't do a great deal to identify who or what qualifies. Idk if officials are expected to hit some kind of Antifa Witchhunt quota or if raising a flag just brings a bunch of cheap reactionary heat down on the office itself.

My friend's Africa American, so he's not touching the request with a 10' pole if he can avoid it. Most of his caseload is just meth dealers crossing state lines and interstate wire fraud, so there's not a ton of Antifa to be found anyway.
