The FBI’s domestic terrorism watchlist is set to double in the coming months, according to journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been reporting on President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum titled ā€œCountering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,ā€ also known asĀ NSPM-7. The memo identifies potential domestic terrorists as someone expressing ā€œanti-Christian,ā€ ā€œanti-capitalismā€ or ā€œanti-Americanā€ views. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna responded on X, writing, ā€œTrump’sĀ NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with ā€˜anti-capitalism’ or ā€˜anti-American’ views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act and war in Iraq.Ā NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.ā€

    They use to use ā€œGodlessā€ as a slur. I guess they can’t anymore because they also want to punish people who don’t believe in a god the same way they do.

        No, my point is that they can’t dismiss the ā€œGodlessā€ as the enemy, because that technically includes the other religions. They now need to say ā€œAnti-Christianā€ to mean the same thing
