	<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">By <strong>Trump</strong> designating foreign <strong>anti-fascist</strong> groups in <strong>Germany</strong>, <strong>Italy</strong> and <strong>Greece</strong> as "foreign terrorist organizations" they are able to enhance the <strong>prison sentence</strong> and <strong>fines</strong> for anyone they allege supports them. They've created an <strong>"antifa"</strong> bogeyman that doesn't exist. <strong>Antifa</strong> isn't an organization in the <strong>US</strong>, and there are no leaders to target.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The only people that actually exist are the <strong>anti-Trump</strong> and <strong>LGBTQIA+</strong> protesters who have been clearly targeted by the memorandum by claiming: </span><i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">"Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."</span></i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> That </span><i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">"traditional American views"</span></i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> phrase says a lot!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Under the umbrella of stopping "political violence" they create these broad definitions of groups that are open to interpretation. We've already seen arrests of people who committed no crime, but posted "concerning" things on social media that drew their attention so they claimed they had "suspected ties" to <strong>antifa</strong>. They are also targeting leftist organizations and their donors who are just exercising their <strong>First Amendment</strong> rights.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This memo not only mobilizes the police to target people, it uses the full force of the entire intelligence apparatus to investigate and prosecute voices of dissent. This memo takes us even further into the territory to having a <strong>fascist government</strong> ran by a mentally unwell <strong>authoritarian</strong>. We are all in danger!</span></p><p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Here's a link to the memo: </span><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence/">Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence – The White House</a><br />&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
