Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,” according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively.
The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.”
That language echoes the so-called indicators of terrorism identified by President Trump’s directive National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7, which the memo says it’s intended to implement. Where NSPM-7 was a declaration of war on just about anyone who isn’t MAGA, this is the war plan for how the government will wage it on a tactical level.
In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans. To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish “a cash reward system” for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations. (The memo later instructs the FBI to “establish cooperators to provide information and eventually testify against other members” of the groups.)
All western countries had plans to round up domestic leftists and put them in concentration camps during the cold war. Do you really think they trashed those plans just cause the soviet union fell? Lol Lmao even.

Having now done more reading into it. It's not formally illegal to be a communist. What they can do is use the Emergency powers act to arbitrarily detain people (on grounds not related to identity) and then hit the courts with the notwithstanding clause if it gets struck down.

Everyone in on hb and grad will eventually be added if they get around to it, because they clearly want a registry of any kind of socialist and they can start accumulating information for "files" to just obliterate whoever it is in the drastic minority of us who they eventually deem to be enough of a nuisance to be worth acting on. At the very least, it might be red meat for mccarthy bullshit if they identify those of us who are, e.g. public teachers who they can call fifth columnists when they need some low-hanging distraction from the latest scandal.

If they straight-up started a holocaust of people right now, would anyone do anything? It seems to me like the only thing holding them back is that they think people might do something or that they might lose money doing it somehow. I really don't know what forces would opposite it, especially because the holocaust in Europe kinda' spilled over into countries that opposed it a bit whereas North America's much more removed and big. Canada's not going to do shit, they might offer refuge to American refugees but they wouldn't do anything. Mexico might, but they're in a much weaker position to do so and would need some kind of agreement with basically all of Latin America to do it because if not they're creating a multi-front war.
It feels like everywhere that isn't inside China or Russia's influence can become another Palestine.
