Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Prrreeetty concerning. Obviously there is no Antifa as an organization and but I would be cautious to call this meaningless. Seems more likely they will use this to slap domestic terrorism charges or conspiracy charges on anyone who is organizing against ~~incipient fascism~~ fascism in progress in this country. Stay safe out there, hopefully this won't affect me because I am a center-left Democrat.
I do like that they list anti-fascism as obstructing ICE and law enforcement, which means that those groups are .... hmm I'm drawing a blank here.
Think it’s more meaningful it’s not an org. They’re targetting antifascism as an ideology
But its given the designation "~~foreign~~ domestic terrorist organization" which seems like it wouldn't get past the federalists in scotus.
GOP SCOTUS could create some bizarro world ruling to keep themselves and Trump happy. They don't give a fuck how nonsensical or hypocritical their actions are.
The federalist society has a different bizzaro world to Trumps. Also their entire job is rationalizing their agenda so it doesn't seem hypocritical, that's their primary function.
If I remember correctly in Trump 2.0 - Trump sent 20 executive orders to GOP SCOTUS. He won 18 of them. And he won the last 15 in a row. I have no idea what the Federalist Society (and individual members) have said publicly. But I think he façade probably fell away.
It doesn't matter. The point of categorizing people as terrorists is so they are assumed to be inherently dangerous. It is so you can just shoot them or stick them in a back site torture dungeon. You don't have standing to appeal their definition of terrorism if you're dead or being fed fish skeletons at the bottom of the oubliette.
That's for foreign terrorists not domestic terrorists. Domestic terrorists still™ get trials. Mangione was charged with terrorism and it just got dropped.
I mean its going to take two years minimum before anything sees scotus and they're going to get their damage done in that time.
scotus doesn't give a fuck anymore
I forget exactly how it played out, but courts blocked this during Trump's first term
lol
I’m a fiscal conservative centrist libertarian.
But really, I agree that this is not insignificant.
