What does the Department of Homeland Security consider a “terror threat”?
A person planning to kill children in a school, a black criminal looking to run over 70 white people at a Christmas parade, a Mexican cartel member butchering a family of four in Texas?
No.
You reading what I just wrote is terrorism.
Just like Nazi and racist lost its rhetorical power due to overuse in 2016, soon someone being labelled a “domestic terrorist” will be insignificant.
The feds today believe ideas, books, and political commentary not approved by the ADL = violence.
I welcome this desperate and unAmerican shift.
If we are going to change this system, it first needs to be discredited. They are doing the work for us!
WASHINGTON (AP) — The social media posts are of a distinct type. They hint darkly that the CIA or the FBI are behind mass shootings. They traffic in racist, sexist and homophobic tropes. They revel in the prospect of a “white boy summer.” 🙄
White nationalists and supremacists, on accounts often run by young men, are building thriving, macho communities across social media platforms like Instagram, Telegram and TikTok, evading detection with coded hashtags and innuendo.
Their snarky memes and trendy videos are riling up thousands of followers on divisive issues including abortion, guns, immigration and LGBTQ rights. The Department of Homeland Security warned Tuesday that such skewed framing of the subjects could drive extremists to violently attack public places across the U.S. in the coming months.
