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.”

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

    The USA should hold a 51% stake in every business it subsidizes. Looking at the oil and gas companies.

    Welp, lets just get this out there. Christian Nationalists are a blight on the world. Capitalism is designed to keep you oppressed and should be abolished. America has been a shithole for a couple years now but its been on the decline for decades. America #1 is propaganda drilled into kids brains to keep them loyal to a broken system.
    Guess im a terrorist now.

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

      Mamdani fortunately has turned a bit of a corner, more and more establishment Dems are being forced to recognize his existence, if not outright bending the knee.

      He has too big of a popular lead at this point, the administration lost their chance to deport him or hold him without trial. They know that New York, despite whatever divisions they’ve tried to sow, will unify and come together if they do ratshit gangster shit to one of their own, especially someone so popular.

      I almost welcome them to try. I fear more for his life honestly, but not his capture or arrest. The administration is barely smart enough to not shoot themselves in the face, but I don’t know their feelings about other targets.

      This proposition will certainly be struck down by judges across the country, but like with everything, they are trying to cross bridges by introducing these ideas now so they can revisit it again later when people are less likely to be shocked. As they’ve been doing over and over.

    Cool. This will be challenging as unconditional by the end of next week, the challenge will be correct and then this administration can go fuck itself all over again.

    It’s a shame the tax payers are funding this moronic horseshit. Fuck Trump. Fuck MAGA.

      This is a memo, not a law. It will never make it before a judge. Targeted groups won’t be charged, they will instead be detained, possibly indefinitely, but certainly long enough to fuck them up. They will also use this memo to monitor communications, pull financial records and otherwise harass people. They will use the label to force financial institutions to freeze assets.

      But they won’t charge you.

    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.
