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.”

    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.

        They already have the camps and a secret police. All they need now is the Zyklon B to start really crossing off names.

    I assume no one in the Trump admin knows wtf Lemmy is, so we’re safe here maybe.

    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.

      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)

        This is the problem. A list you can’t see, a list that contains assumed infractions you can’t defend against, in a system of masked police that will never give you a chance at due process.

        Exactly. Americans are all now Palestinians.

        "A little-discussed detail in the Lavender AI article is that Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group [1] as a suspected militant [2]. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?

        Lavender is Israel’s system of “pre-crime” [3] - they use AI to guess who to kill in Gaza, and then bomb them when they’re at home, along with their entire family. (Obscenely, they call this program “Where’s Daddy”)." source

          Of course WhatsApp is sharing it. Everyone should move to truly secure—or even just more secure, like signal—means of communication. WhatsApp is Facebook. They will do whatever helps their bottom line
