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.
Indeed it is, but fear not, for it’s only because they’re very bad powerful people defending a very bad evil society. Oh, perhaps some fear is warranted then…
She is such a massive disappointment.
Disappointment is such a kind understatement for what she is.
I wrote an angry text to one of my MAGA senators while really high. I fully expect to be on a list.
No one cares, especially the USA citizens. If they really cared Trump would be out yesterday.
If there are protestors or critics that is even more reason a good president should be listening to their concerns, even if he doesn’t agree with them. Not trying to make enemies out of them.
I really hope that all this bullshit shows just how bad many ‘anti-terrorism’ laws were and see them all be repealed.
Like the entire voter registry of democrats?
What good is a “watchlist” if its 80+ million names long?
It’s fine, they’ll start crossing off names until it is a manageable.
They already have the camps and a secret police. All they need now is the Zyklon B to start really crossing off names.
“Senators warn…” Do something!
Yeah you’re the most powerful piece of the government. Lay it all out and impeach
Impeach? Like they already did twice? They are warning us because they know the mechanisms of accountability are not within their reach.
“Trump back handed by senators, diplomatically”
oh is this different from the enemies list they openly talk about? i don’t need democrats warning me about things, they walked us into this fucking mess
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?
What you’ve got to realize here is the freedom they’re talking about is their freedom to oppress “the others.”
Oh yes. They use the Southern notion of “liberty”, vs. the Northern notion. They really do think that if they are not privileged and set up to rule over others as “less than”, that they don’t have “freedom”.
Anti-Christ = Anti-Cannabis, if you know what Kaneh Bosm is. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kaneh+bosm

Wrong.
They “realize” that 100.0000% of Americans are Christian, because all non-Christians are not Americans regardless of citizenship.
how about the freedom to keep your medical history private? and not to mention a personal choice?
biden crushed that right.
Are you talking about the “freedom” to spread disease?
There’s already a list of people we need to watch out for. Let’s see it.
Jesus said that if someone asks for your coat, you should give your cloak to them also. IDK guys, that sounds pretty anti-capitalist to me.
I assume no one in the Trump admin knows wtf Lemmy is, so we’re safe here maybe.
what exactly about this is NEW news?
fuck they probably have me on a watchlist and I’m not even american
Perhaps a problem is that nobody is surprised anymore.
If you dont jump when a loud noise goes off anymore, you might not get out of the way of what makes it.
Maybe fake it til you make it. Act shocked about it and tell coworkers that you’re terrified.
Or just read one of the forefathers’ diaries, see if they managed to articulate the tipping point that began the slope towards revolution and attempt to replicate it?
(I’m speaking generally about this situation, I’m not an american either)
Bold of him to call it secret. It’s just unpublished.
