Do you post political opinions online? Have you attended or organized a No Kings rally in your community? Any simple act of dissent could get you labeled as a “domestic terrorist” by Donald Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel. Last year, Donald Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7. And now he’s asked Congress to fund it. In Trump’s budget request, he indicates that the NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center will seek to identify anyone the administration considers domestic terrorists, including people expressing support for views like:
If you support policies of inclusion, believe greedy corporations are price-gouging consumers, are in a same-sex marriage, or practice a religion other than Christianity, Kash Patel and the Trump administration could very well label you as a domestic terrorist. Dissent is patriotic. No one should be arrested or prosecuted or potentially end up in prison for constitutionally protected freedoms.
