“We’re looking at the entire web”

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).

    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.
