Trump’s EO designating ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist org is worded so that anyone protesting ICE agents, filming or asking them for ID, or informing people of their rights, can be charged as a domestic terrorist.
This isn’t an attack on ANTIFA.
It’s an attack on our rights.

Tomorrow had better bring the FIRST of the MANY lawsuits to declare this travesty of an executive overreach against the First Amendment as the unconstitutional monstrosity that it is!

@mathepi
they want you to treat them like rulers, people without accountability. Nothing is more important than government thugs being accountable, however. We need to be able to film them and to make them pay when they break the law.

First 4 highlighted words.
“It uses illegal means”
So, protesting ice doesn’t count. Melanie certainly knows this, but she also knows two other things.
1. Her followers won’t read it they’ll just believe.
2. Being wrong on purpose generates engagement.

It looks like the Patriot Act and its progeny is finally going to become what many warned that it would from the very beginning. God help us.

I’m still trying to figure out how he is able to declare any Americans a terrorist organization… to my knowledge there is no law on the books to do this

@IGiveAHop
That is the goal - to block the ongoing, peaceful
protests that they claim have no people showing up. No Kings 2 is next, and they aim to intimidate and stop these protests.

Remember when Biden warned everyone?
-He defines politics as power. “And, whether you like it or not, young lady,” he says, “ us cruddy politicians can take away that First Amendment of yours if we want to.”-

I’m glad I came upon this. Since Antifa is not an organization but instead a personal opinion, Donald will go after anyone who is against fascism. That was strange to have to say that.

@amycoplan
Can we do something about it? Isn't the designation of terrorist something that cannot be done so easily? I know that Trump doesn't care about rules, laws, norms, or the constitution, but isn't there a process for this that he is ignoring?

@casht0wn
They know full well that 'antifa' isn't an organization or formal group, that is meant to apply to absolutely anyone that opposes their fascism, a.k.a. antifa.

@diseloatuperra
He doesn't even invoke any law or authority as the basis for him to do the designation. It is bonkers from too to bottom

If they can’t prove it’s funding mechanism, it’s leaders, aren’t taking down the “radicalization” materials, police/intelligence can’t figure it any of it out, I’m wondering why we were told for years they’re disorganized radicals. This would mean antifa is the greatest undercover terrorist organization ever created, or its BS

Nothing screams "public education failed me" more than this post does. You even highlighted it in blue. You may still peacefully protest until your heart is content (spoiler... it never will be), but you can't be violent, or riot, or assault people, or threaten people, etc.

@ElihuWho
@FBI Is there a cash reward for turing in the LEADER of ANTIFA?
His First name is Sam, not sure of Last name, but this is his picture if that helps

@Talon_Sharpedge
LOL, this is bait to draw someone out. The first to sue will be targeted as the leader; if no enemy exists, they create one.
The country is cooked, even if we pretend things will return to normal. In the ClownVerse, this is the new normal.

Little by little the totalitarian state is formed.
They push Left vs Right so people cheer for the erosion of their constitutional freedoms.

I have never met or heard of anyone being a member of "Antifa".

@capinsurrep
I would love to see them test this in court. They've created all these fictional elements that supposedly constitute Antifa, almost all of which would be missing in any actual case.
They actually made it harder to prosecute "Antifa." They should have had a real lawyer read it.

Executive orders are not laws. They are guidance for the executive branch. He can write anything he wants in an executive order does not make his words the law of the land.

Asking for ID from a disguised gestapo labels that person as a domestic terrorist?

Of course. Use a term so general that anyone you designate could be charged. Destroys right to express disapproval of policies.
