Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A leaked memo written by US Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Department of Justice to compile a list of potential “domestic terrorism” organizations that espouse “extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment.”

My sentiment is against American Facism. Far as I am concerned, Dogey Americans have willfully abandoned the Constitution and their humanity.

It is my hope that true Americans will be able to fight back, be it legally or on the battlefield. It would be nice if things can be settled with a positive peace...but I don't think it can happen without blood anymore. After all, Alligator Alcatraz uses this on people:

Americans are too burned out from working their shitty dead-end jobs for peanuts to do anything about it.

They have their parents to thank for pigeonholing them down that path.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bad news Bondi ... we can be Anti-American. Its freedom of speech.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That bitch should be on that list, along with that psycho fbi director.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Extreme viewpoints on immigration. Doesn't Trump constantly make inflammatory and objectively false statements about immigrants? Are we seriously expecting them to compile a list with Donald Trump at the top.

Radical gender ideology. I am sorry, but have they even proved this is somehow harmful. Where is the proof radical gender ideology is even a problem!? It effects such a small portion of the population it is ridiculous to even bring it up.

Anti-American sentiment. You mean like being racist, anti immigration, calling for death or punishment of those who disagree with you. People trying to tear down government agencies? You can't make this shit up. So once again are we expected to believe they are making a list with MAGA at the top

Absolute garbage when we have insane issues we are dealing with everyday. Monumental waste of time. They are going to be taking agents off important cases for this hogwash. This type of misuse and abuse of governmental agencies is criminal in nature.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I have the name of the largest domestic extremist group which is also the biggest purveyor of anti-American sentiment, and it's called the Republican Party.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Let's start with MAGA

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 38 points 2 days ago

They're called Republicans, you disingenuous cunt.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also, isn't this stupid bitch supposed to be releasing the Epstein files?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

According to her boss she is supposed to prevent exactly that. Well, at least the interesting parts.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 85 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Once again, this regime is taking its cue directly from the Nazis.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Modern nazis are the same as the old nazis.

Everything you don't like is terrorism when you agree with the most fragile ideologies ever conceived by talking apes.

Persecuting US citizens exercising their right to free expression is anti-American.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago

The call is coming from inside the house!!

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

To be fair it has a long history in the country. It is one of the most American things.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They'll use it to arrest and human traffic non-citizens immediately and try to go after citizens for treason

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 43 points 2 days ago

The President is literally attacking his own cities. Start there.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So almost all of Idaho then?

[–] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 day ago

only Lesser Idaho

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we submit all the right wing groups en masse so they get the picture?

[–] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 13 points 2 days ago

GOP will top the list for sure

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They have no intention of doing any actions towards citizens critical of the government right now, they're already swimming against a tide of hate towards the administration's overreach.

Not yet at least. The idea here, like with everything so far, is to introduce the idea, let it keep bubbling up once in a while, and then we all get sick of the story and stop caring so much when it gets brought up again, but this time more seriously.

[–] howl2@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With the help of palentyr they are cataloguing all of us far before they will do anything directly with it.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly, and as long as everyone is freaking out about will-they-or-wont-they on these radical ideas like deporting millions of people or invading canada or shutting down democracy, in the background entities like Palantir have soared in power and reach because nobody senses nearly the threat from that vague, intangible thing as they do from armed ICE agents marching on peaceful neighborhoods.

But in the long run, a nationwide surveillance and data-gathering program will allow them to quietly and effectively depose all opposition without it even making the news.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Anti-american sentiment or anti-trump sentiment?

[–] human@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The memo identifies the “domestic terrorism threat” as organizations that use “violence or the threat of violence” to advance political goals such as “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality.”

“IF YOU’RE NOT WITH ME, THEN YOU’RE MY ENEMY!”

If you're not eating with me, you're eating against me -Joey chestnut probably

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Anti-terrorism/fascism is now anti-American.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

"Extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology and anti-american sentiment".... That basically sums up MAGA.

Edit: of course you have to throw in a lot of racism, and an extreme yearning to destroy the middle class and punish 90% of the population while thinking they somehow will be a part of the 10% at all times, when clearly 90% of the population can't be a part of that group.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 14 points 2 days ago

Someone just keep handing her lists of right extremists. It'd be pretty fucking funny

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Bloodthirsty psychopaths, all of them.

I'm pro America but anti them. Simple enough. Calling them shit is a disservice to feces.

Oh fun, that time I got put on a watch list for flying to a different state for medical treatment definitely won't come back to bite me in the ass

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

George Carlin has a good take on the bill of rights

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Willfully ignoring any R

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

"Terrorism" has always been an excuse for governments to throw out the little rule they have and target indiscriminately what they view as the threatening "group".

[–] rocci@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Nazis the lot of them
