The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…

“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”

    Oh my, is that Senator Elissa Slotkin, “former” CIA Agent, from this famously disastrous interview? Well I’m sure a “former” CIA Agent would know a thing or two about compiling dossiers on American Citizens.

      That interview reminded me of Ritchie Torres on Adam Friesland’s show: starts out saying some reasonable-sounding things, but becomes completely paralyzed when questioned about Israel and can only trot out the vaguest, most noncommittal verbiage while ducking the main point every time. It’s a very bad look.

    Slotkin is an AIPAC ghoul that the Dems have been trying to push lately as the “hot new star” as a replacement for Kamala. Would t be surprised is she runs in 2028.

    Meanwhile, I see idiotic Confederate dumbasses posting stuff about how Republicans are “standing up for American freedoms”.

    Bull-fucking-shit they are. I didn’t see Democrats step on one freedom of any Confederate dipshit. I see Republicans positively gleeful about stealing away freedom from MILLIONS.

    They do realize that about 38% of Americans are not xtian, right? What the fuck does “anti-Christian” even mean? Is it “anti-Christian” to not want any affiliation with your little book club?

    It’s not secret that it’s happening. Palintir is well known to have the contract to built the list. The secret is who’s been flagged as scheduled for termination or deportation out whatever.

    Palantir was built to do this, and does so instantly, nothing to develop - the tech is built.

    How can I get on it?

    I assume keeping my phone on while protesting at the next No Kings priest will help, as will posting “fuck you, rapist pedophile corrupt asshole felon Trump” here…

    But how can I be sure? 👀

    I’m ready to fight but don’t really know where to direct my anger

      Starting violence is exactly what they want you to do. I’m not saying it’s never the right call but ultimately a civil war will be bad for everyone

        Yeah that’s fair. I’ve been through the ACLU de-escalation training and stuff and won’t actively start violence at a peaceful protest or anything, but if I get targeted because of said protesting and end up being targeted by ice (I’m a green card holder, not a citizen) then I’ll go down fighting for sure
