I put a question mark at the end because right now Klippenstein is the only source, but there's more...see follow-up tweet.


FBI Readies New War on Trans People

“We’re looking at the entire spider web”

And here is the more, because I think it's obvious that the Heritage Foundation runs things behind the scenes in the Trump admin.

Group behind Project 2025 urges FBI to brand ‘transgender extremists’ a terror threat

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation proposed a broad definition of trans ‘extremism’ that would seemingly cover a wide range of pro-LGBT+ activism
www.independent.co.uk


MAGA's obsession with transgender people is actually somewhat frightening.
 
Why wouldn't ideology-inspired violence and extremism not fall under potential terrorism, regardless of whether it's in the name of transgenderism, Islam or Christianity?

And that X post is misleading. The FBI is not preparing to label transgender people as terrorists; it's about whether violent and extremist acts committed in the name of the transgender cause should be considered as potential terrorism.
 
If anyone cared to read it, a theme that appears over and over again in Project 2025's manifesto, Mandate for Leadership, is transgenderism. They made it pretty clear that they were going to pay particular attention to transgenderism and critical race theory.
 
No one but liberal loons read project 2025.
If it wasn't for the liberal loons screaming about it - virtually no one would have ever known what it is, and it would have never gained any interest.
Party organizations write these kind of things all the time. Project 2025, large than most for sure, is just another one of those. And it would have stayed on a shelf gaining dust if not for liberal Karen's claiming it was the end of the world.
 
It seems like a superfluous classification of violent crime, but it's hardly a war on trans people, unless one wants to consider the Biden-era "Anti-Authority Anti-Government Extremists" label a war on protesters.

What both these designations (NVE & AGAAVE) are are simple acts of political opportunism. You take the cause of a single tragedy and attempt to stain the other side with it. It's cynical and its wrong, no matter which side does it.
 
You are what you seem.


 
Conservatives are well on the way to establishing a legal basis for transgender people to qualify as a "suspect class," triggering strict constitutional scrutiny of laws targeting them in the near future.

Indeed, historically the idea of affording equal rights to discrete and insular minorities has been a terrifying concept to conservatives.
 
If you cared to pay attention, 50% of project 2025 has already been implemented. And it's happening much faster than planned.
It is a mandate for leadership that was intended for use if Trump won a second term.

Your rant is, wait for it, FAKE NEWS.
 
50% of every manifesto of EVERY political organization has been implemented if the sitting President is of the same party.
It is 800 pages dude!! Of COURSE parts of it is in line with a sitting President of the same party.

Duh

Whatever. Defending Trump and the Heritage Foundation is what all MAGAs are brainwashed to do.

Why would this be any different?
 

The problem is that one type of 'terrorist' isn't really an ideologue, whereas the other truly is. There's nothing inherently dangerous about transgendered people. There's nothing inherently wrong with someone who self-identifies as anti-government, either, I suppose, as long as the ideology doesn't promote violence.

What it boils down to is that I don't trust this administration to differentiate between transgendered 'extremists' and transgendered people who make the odd remarks critical of governmental policies. See pro-Palestinian protester 'terrorists' for reference.

Well, playing devil's advocate for just a moment, we have by that report arguably 11 instances in roughly 8 'ish years where acts of violence were committed by arguably shared ideology as profiled where 4 of those instances involved the murder of kids.

Not necessarily saying the FBI is classifying this all correctly nor accounting correctly for real motivations for these crimes.

But if we politically took off the transgender community can do no wrong *as well as* the same group can only do wrong to observe for just a moment we have roughly 10 kids killed, others wounded, by someone looking to make a point and in each case there is some "involvement" with being transgender or being involved with someone who is.

Why would we not look at what may or may not be happening with such a small percentage of the population grabbing the headlines killing kids?

Understand that is not an argument to favor MAGA Republican branding of anyone transgender, but I am sensing a bit of acceptance from the other side of the political fence to even exploring what is happening (and no, I do not think the FBI under current leadership is interested in this conversation either, but curious if anyone here is.)
 
Correct, because this administration has lied from the beginning about their desires to implement Project 2025. They have hidden it and ran from it. But, it's exactly what they are doing.
 
Fascism depends on a population that is ignorant of politics and who do not care to follow it.
 
I am so afraid right now for my sister. It's just so frightening.
 

So obvious, yet they don't see it? It's all a coincidence, right? ****ing wake up!

I see fools who watched too much TV. I also see people who were trained from birth to trust in religious institutions. Many of those religious gathering places are the conduit that was needed to convince people that identity politics equates their religious beliefs. All to worship men who will discard them once Project 2025 is completely fulfilled. Those same fools will want to join us, but we do not need them either.
