In case you haven’t heard, Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism.” Understandably, you might have read that and immediately assumed the focus would be on people threatening to commit mass shootings since there’s already been more than 400 mass shootings in the United States in 2025.
Well, if that’s where your mind went, you were wrong. As independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported on December 6, Bondi and this administration are using their resources to target those expressing:
- “opposition to law and immigration enforcement
- extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders
- adherence to radical gender ideology
- anti-Americanism
- anti-capitalism
- anti-Christianity”

We’d already gotten a heads-up on this in late September when Trump signed a national security directive (National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7) to go after “left wing terrorism.” What we didn’t know at the time, was that this effort would establish a CASH REWARD SYSTEM to encourage citizens to report on their friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors via a tipline.
The money doesn’t stop there. The Bondi memo also states that the Justice Department will prioritize funding for state and local law enforcement to go after the so-called domestic terrorists who just so happen to be citizens voicing opposition to this fascist regime.
I highly recommend reading the article in its entirety. You can also download and read the entire Bondi memo via Klippenstein’s article.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. In the meanwhile, stay safe.
Solidarity!

Scary times indeed. I don’t doubt for a minute the seriousness of what you explained.
I saw a report on the commitment to take action by the Chief of Police in Milwaukee. He has instructed his officers to arrest any ICE agent who is acting without a warrant or who is using excessive force. If an officer fails to do that, or turns a blind eye, that officer will be fired. He does not want a repeat of what happened after the death of Floyd. He wants law enforcement officers to do exactly what their obligation is.

Hi Jasper. I also saw and appreciated that statement from the Milwaukee chief of police, and I hope he follows through on that promise. I also saw a video on social media of a NY police officer arresting a masked ICE agent for violating a person’s rights which seemed too good to be true, which it was. Turned out the video was just AI slop. So much bad/frightening stuff going on. Thank you for not only taking the time to read and comment, but to be doing good things in your sphere. Solidarity!

They’re destroying things left and right, and terrorizing everyone in the process. It’s such a difficult time and I send good wishes to you and your family, and everyone else there. I know the terror continues in LA.

I have to add that the lack of media coverage is just as scary as the list that covers pretty much half or more of the population. So, you are very welcome, Tracy.

I know I should post this, too, but am so exhausted by all the awfulness. Here’s Klippenstein’s follow-up piece from today: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-enemies-list-meets-media-blackout

Yes, I read that and am horrified. Whether we know it or not, we’re facing some hurricane force winds of awfulness.

I did a second read of your post and had something else stand out.
Anti- Christian statements or actions will be considered terrorist activity. Hmmm. Feed the hungry (demand SNAP payments be expanded), support the sick (expand Healthcare coverage and oppose the health premium subsidy cut backs, are Christian virtues that are not anti-Christian. However, without due process it become difficult to plead ones case and educate the administration.
Anti-American acts or opinion voiced will mean people need to speak up urgently to preserve the democratic process.
Sadly, everything the administration says needs to be interpreted with a new world order dictionary. All words will soon have a meaning opposite what Funk & Wagnals has been telling us.

Hi Jasper. Yes, that “anti-Christian” portion of it is truly frightening. As you’ve pointed out, there’s a huge difference in opinion as to what it means to be Christian. This administration doesn’t behave in a “Christian” manner and yet has given itself permission to go after anyone who points it out. “New world order” dictionary is a must.
