The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me…

The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a “threat group,” but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of “violent extremism.”

Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau’s new threat category, “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

    ‘CNN reported that the Department of Justice was discussing denying trans people’s right to possess firearms on the rationale that transgenderism is “mental illness.”’

    The fuckin’ gall!! Defending you and your people from state tyrants is not mental illness. It is self-defense. These old geezer’s in charge are the generation that would call a wife openly disagreeing with them mental illness to shut them up and imprison them.

    Mental illness is surrounding yourself with delusional yes-men and working to protect a president who serially SAs because you’re desperate for power. It’s psychopathy, and it is capitalism that makes and promotes these people to the top of all the organized groups.

    First, it’s trans, then homosexuality, then either non-white or just skip ahead to non-christian.

    The dude is brown and thinks he’ll be one of the last ones standing. He’s going to be targeted by the right in at least the 2nd or 3rd wave. Fucking idiot.

    I thought the FBI was a law enforcement agency tasked with investigating crime, rather than an organ of state repression and persecution of vulnerable minorities.

    I guess I must’ve been mistaken. One wonders how the men and women of the FBI feel about their new job?

      Lol, you wouldn’t have been correct for like the entirety of the FBI’s existence. No 3 letter agency in the US has been for the greater good of the people.

        Bystanders, be wary of people like this who try to egg OTHER people on to do things they themselves won’t or can’t for some likely bogus excuse or another.

        Fuck fascists as much as the next person, but half the time I think people like this are fascist operatives hoping to provoke some new Reichstag incident.

        Yeah, i agree. If I knew what to do I’d do something. But this is all happening two thousand miles away from me and nobody gives a shit what I have to say. My state government is opposed so there’s not much of anything to do locally. How do I fix this?

      It won’t stop there. This war will affect everyone until it ourobouros itself into killing its own just like every fascist govt does when things start to fall apart.

        Fascism makes the majority miserable, so the regime must blame others. Eventually, this becomes a circular firing squad where they take each other out. Unfortunately, ordinary people will always get caught in the crossfire.
