- Sept 22 — Antifa = “Terrorists” (lol, sure Jan)
Trump signed an order labeling Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Cute trick, except the U.S. legal system doesn’t even have a way to designate domestic groups like that. Translation: it’s political theater with claws aimed at your First Amendment rights. - Sept 25 — TikTok Hostage Deal
Another EO gave U.S. investors 120 days to gobble up TikTok’s U.S. operations. Trump pretends it’s “national security,” but it’s really about controlling the algorithm that shapes young voters’ feeds. - Sept 25 — “Left-Wing Terrorism” Crackdown
This one’s the real furball: Trump ordered agencies like the FBI, IRS, and Treasury to hunt down supposed “networks” funding protest and dissent. He even name-dropped donors like Soros and Reid Hoffman without evidence. This is less about safety and more about weaponizing the state against anyone not goose-stepping in MAGA boots.
Why This Matters
These orders are claws-out attacks on protest, free speech, and opposition funding. The Antifa stunt is legally flimsy, the TikTok move is about propaganda control, and the “terrorism crackdown” is straight-up authoritarian cosplay. Courts will have a field day with this nonsense, but until then, the chill is real: activists, donors, and platforms are in the crosshairs.
Resistance Kitty Translation
- They can’t actually make “Antifa” illegal — but they want you scared. Don’t be.
- TikTok isn’t about China; it’s about Trump controlling the narrative.
- The donor crackdown is proof they’re panicking about losing funding battles.
