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.”

Welp, I'm surely on it

If a list is of virtually everyone it stops being a useful list.

Geogia Guidestones. Do the maths.

I have lists of lists. We have the best lists there are!

"First they came for the immigrants, and I was like 'yeah, ok, cool,' and signed legislation increasing their powers to detain people (arc), but now they're coming for James Comey and I'm like 'yo wtf'" - Elissa Slotkin (probably)

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I had just assumed that the NSA and FBI were already doing that, or will Trump's list be a different, more incompetent one?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

Not much of a secret...

Once again the Senate is a day late and a dollar short.

How can I get on it?

I assume keeping my phone on while protesting at the next No Kings priest will help, as will posting "fuck you, rapist pedophile corrupt asshole felon Trump" here...

But how can I be sure? 👀

I'm ready to fight but don't really know where to direct my anger

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Starting violence is exactly what they want you to do. I'm not saying it's never the right call but ultimately a civil war will be bad for everyone

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah that's fair. I've been through the ACLU de-escalation training and stuff and won't actively start violence at a peaceful protest or anything, but if I get targeted because of said protesting and end up being targeted by ice (I'm a green card holder, not a citizen) then I'll go down fighting for sure

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's absolutely fair. Stay safe

[–] killea@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been party to a few of these exchanges recently, and between open citizen violence and letting things go on as they are, I think I am now rooting for our society to just collapse under its own weight. And with enough mismanagement, it certainly will (already is). While that will produce a great deal of suffering, at least it could provide a chance to fix some things.

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

maybe a chance things will be fixed, or will they just get worse? I think the latter is more likely

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

If you are an American that registered as a democrat or voted in a democratic primary, you're already on it.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get involved with your local General Strike discord. Good people.

[–] tree_frog_and_rain@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Organizing on discord sounds like a great way to end up on the list.

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This "presidency" is reading like a comic book storyline. Maybe I should re-watch Camptain America: Winter Soldier.

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey news, can you stop being so depressing? How about a news about a dog...who...defies all odda to...IDK...reunite with the young kid with cancer he loved. IDK, make something up...this shit is getting too bleak.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That dog is now on the watch list.

Centrists realizing they're getting swept in with the lefties.

Just like the middle class learning the uber rich lump them in with the poor

It's not secret that it's happening. Palintir is well known to have the contract to built the list. The secret is who's been flagged as scheduled for termination or deportation out whatever.

This has existed for decades but i guess they are expanding the criteria for who makes it onto the list.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Why not just pick people at random? The list is obviously useless.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think you have to warn anyone about that one

About the only useful thing about the American government at this point is for them to tell you information that everyone already knows about.

Rich out of touch corporate democrat that will issue blank checks to a nation committing a genocide says something we already know in an attempt at some relevancy. Fuck Slotkin.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

If the worst people in society are making a list of enemies it should be considered a moral failure to not make the list.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Well I'm sure most of us are on that list

They might be shocked to learn that there is a list of government officials/employees that the Citizens are watching.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

I used to be on a list. I'm on a list now, but I also used to be too.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

Like the government hasn’t had that since at least Sept 11,2001?

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

That was actually about terrorism. This is just people who won't pretend to like Trump.
