Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate.
It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us.
Only collective action can keep us safe and free.

![DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa provided material support [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:usktoienjig6rm5cxm46j3zl/bafkreihwt6ztyeaf7qnacxnmi2rmqem4c3nkyaf5aspcafwnadi5kwtoqy@jpeg)

There's an idea emerging among centrist Dems that Zohran won because of short form video or podcasting and I'm sorry but that's just not it
Zohran did not win because of TikTok and podcasts
His victory was the culmination of years of organizing and a platform that resonated with hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers.

Not willing to fight Trump, very willing to fight anyone who is.
A DNC panel voted on Monday to void the result of a vote electing David Hogg as vice chair of the party after the young Democrat criticized the party for being “asleep at the wheel” as the Trump administration moves the U.S. swiftly toward fascism.
DNC Moves to Oust David Hogg After He Says Party Isn’t Standing Up to Trump
The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.
