Really chilling. I never thought this “antifa” idiocy would actually gain traction because it is so patently ridiculous. I mean, what’s that slogan? “If you’re not anti-fascism, then what are you?” I credit Fox News with cementing and fomenting the “antifa” fallacy, but now the Trump administration has codified the label and conflated it as terrorism, which as you do deftly describe is designed to chill dissent and punish anyone even vaguely associated with political opposition. I can’t believe it has come to this. Where are all those 2nd amendment zealots who are so terrified of a tyrannical government?
Many of us wonder how deep the hatred or the actions will go before midterms, impeachment,the Blue Wave can happen.
This article is pure affidavit of the continued obsession of what Trump,his lackies -the loyalists, and those of his dwindling base intend…and that is for an authoritarian government to rule,fool, and tool the law for self grandizement, continue vindictive policy ,while living posh and untouchable ON YOUR DIME…shall I repeat the ‘10 per sense’s-worth’?
A lot of money ,specifically yours and mine , is being covertly pocketed while the grifters and geesers play the Project 2025 Fiasco, planned and implemented even while perfecting their mistakes -since 1980.
It has damaged America’s standing. It has imprisoned innocent people. It has plainly committed murder, bodaciously blaming others.
It has undone working and effective law, protections purposely planting confusion , chaos, and conceit.
And it divided us with propaganda, and openly snuggled with the practiced despots.
The loopholes are raw enough , hopefully -with money the greedy catalyst.
The plan to wear the waking public down is palpable. That is so successfully corrupt, it’s said “unprecedented “-even as ‘shadows’ of society at the top scotus…are either bought or threatened
…well worn techniques of terrorists.
Thank you Mary for succinct posts naming this throughout its circus of ruin with nail on the head accuracy…

Stop the Coup
..then hold the politicians feet to the fire…so it never again happens
This case seems to be a test balloon for the NSIM proclamation to see if they can get away with it. The 67 year old man arrested at the slime pool for making a certain number of donations via ActBlue. That’s a crime? This latest move by Trump’s DOJ is the scariest one yet and likely to have the greatest effect-fear of retribution for just about anything.
Where the F are furiously effective resistance leaders (other than Mary, Shanley and other clear-eyed journalists) overwhelming the public space with coherent, consistent messaging that conveys what’s real (a grotesque coup of greed, grift, Big Lies and fascist oppression of dissent) and mobilizes effective public pushback?
The collective failure of public and private institutions and leaders to stand up to the destructive, corrupt insanity of MAGA mobsters and traitors is shocking in its cowardice, complicity and consistency.
Prediction: they will steal the midterms - one way of another. No way these bandits and predators are surrendering power.

"Anit-antifa", here's a convenient translation: Pro-Fascist.

The ghosts of J. Edgar Hoover and Joe McCarthy are appearing again.
