Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Not "antifa", anti-fascists. They're just admitting it now.
I also like how the Islamic terrorists are "legacy" as if there's nothing going on right now that could be generating a whole new generation of Anti-American terrorists. It's only some old guys who still hate us for our 2000's freedom.
What is this from? This sounds like it is written by AI and not even proofread.
I swear this whole administration is vibe-coded.
"including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists"...so straight up admitting that they are the target of anti-fascist groups. Aaaaaand what does that make them? Could it be....fascist? </churchlady>

Does anyone know if these left-wing extremists, anarchists, and anti-fascists are accepting applicants? How are the health plans?
Ignores the one group that literally every reputable study says is the most violent in the US: right-wing extremists...
I am starting to seriously wonder if this instance is safe to use, even though I am very careful to always use Tor.

The fascist terrorists are classifying everyone else as terrorists like the little pissbaby fuckfaces they are.
I don't think they know what a terror group is.
On the contrary; they just approve of Patriot Front and the Proud Boys.
And those are actual terror groups.

Good News everyone, I'm now among the major terror groups.
So are 6 billion other people on the planet.
While this is just the next phase of fascism we all expected, and as incompetent as the FBI has become, no one should doubt that this is a dangerous escalation. I haven’t been able to fly for almost 20yrs because of “alleged” ties to ALF/ELF during the terror panic that birthed Homeland Security post-9/11. That was when the modern surveillance state was just getting rolling.

Yeah, nevermind the actual terrorists that do things like....checks notes....storm the Capitol, beat up police and were seeking to hang members of Congress and the Vice President in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.
Hey, he got the Georgia ballots, so I'm fairly sure the next step is to "find" 11,780 that were never counted and declare himself the true winner of 2020.
Ergo he would've been elected for a third-consecutive term in 2024, so he should be ineligible and everything he's done since null-and-void? I guess? I dunno where they are going with this except to write the history books in their favor.

They're coming for us. This is the real reason for the camps.
What's so disturbing to me is that all the conspiracy theory nutballs I've known, the ones who...
-
are hardcore preppers who said the economy was due to collapse into a post-apocalyptic dystopia anytime a Dem is in the white house
-
kept talking about the FEMA death camps at former railway hubs with barbed wire fences pointing inwards
-
think black helicopters are running urban pacification drills in cities
-
keep being up giant fields being leased by the govt to store nothing but thousands of plastic coffins
-
never shut up about "jackboot" "police states" during the entirety of Obama and Biden terms
They were all either hardcore right-wingers or simple "never trust the govt" types who suddenly started wearing maga hats

You’re under arrest for resisting arrest.
I will vote for any progressive that will apply that moniker to every single Republican propaganda machine and act accordingly.
Same. These precedents are gonna be a bitch and a half for them when the script flips, and im here and voting for it
I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist ... so yea, if MAGAs "hated enemy" is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.

“Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.”
-misattributed to Mao, but it makes the point
For the sake of history, its worth noting that it wasn't the left taking the non-violent options off the table. Just saying. When you see this happen, consider it in the context of something like the war in Iran. When the administration does things like this, they do so without a plan and without consideration for the consequences.

The political shootings were done by Republicans. So, clearly people against fascism are labeled terrorists. That's pure logic.

If you haven't already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.
We already know the camps exist, and if you've seen some of the images that have been leaked you'll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don't even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it's not just you in danger, it's everybody around you. It's your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.
Organize now, before you don't have that option anymore.
Mine are all maga. The people that are not maga do not want to talk about any of this.
I’m not Antifa but my grandfather was when he fought the fascists in WWII.
Time to start demnding that the memorials to the soldiers that died in Normandy and across Europe come down.
Those damned antifas, the nerve of them to go kick Hitler's ass!!
Shortly after all the people who fought fascists died, the GOP declares being anti-fascist - terrorism.
Recently had a WWII vet visit my parish. Dude was over 100 years old and was in town for a Pearl Harbor commemoration. He told me that he was among the first group of Allied soldiers to fly over Europe after the surrender and he described seeing people trying to make a life among the rubble of their towns and cities. He then compared this to what he was seeing in Gaza and started to lament the US' support of Israel and how he saw clear connections to what is going on there and what he witnessed in Europe. You're absolutely right, there are now too few living who remember...
Where are these Antifa meetings and organizing events happening?
You need to activate your SorosPhone™ to receive the AntifAlerts.
AntifAlerts
Instructions unclear. I activated AntifaFlirts and my notifications blew up.

Amazing how quickly the meanimg of terrorism changed over the years. When it became ok to hate terrorists, suddenly anyone you hate can be relabeled as one.
