Now we can legally recognize “Christian” churches as the terrorist organizations they are.
Unfortunately, its 100% going to be liberal nonprofits that advocate and help people.
Damn. A few days ago I wrote a comment about how crack down and laws against anti genocide protests and groups under Democrat will come back to against other groups under trump. “Today the come after the anti genocide, tomorrow they come after you” I never expected to be this soon.
It is never about protecting people, it is always about controlling people.

I’m building an arc.
16TB. I suggest you do the same. Fill it up.
Knowledge, books, truth. Keep it safe.
This time it’s Ark.
Otherwise, I’m with you. Anything you want, best to have it local.
fast forward 20000 years and a group of cyborg men are worshipping the remains of your corroded WD Red on a pedestal
Oh machine God, please re-awaken and expose to us your eternal wisdom
Hot take: They’re trying to force all nonprofit activity onto crypto. You can only donate if it makes their donors richer.
This time, 183 Democrats and one Republican voted against the bill, and only 15 Democrats voted for it—down from 52 last week. Since then, there’s been a full-court-press civil society campaign to take down H.R. 9495. Nearly 300 organizations—including the ACLU, the Sierra Club, the AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, and the NAACP—have signed a letter pointing out that Trump is likely to use this bill to silence any of his enemies, not just Palestinians and their supporters. As Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) pointed out, that could also include nonprofit news outlets.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) is one of the dozens of Democrats who flipped their vote on the bill since Trump’s election. (Go yell at Colin Allred, Henry Cuellar, and Vicente Gonzalaz instead)
He gave a personal example of why. One of the organizations whose nonprofit status Trump wants to terminate, Doggett said, “has protested one of my speeches.”
God dammit, Texas.
So now’s the time for Democrats to use the filibuster they were so devoted to keeping.
Yeah, but just do it the Charlie Kelly way. Just say “FILIBUSTER” over and over and over.
You know, when they inevitably get this passed Senate next year, maybe the silver lining is so many people are going to be part of a “terrorist organization” they might actually do something radical.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, after all.
The broader question I see here is “Why are Democrats supporting Trumps agenda?”
We’re in a position where we’re a few weeks out from the total collapse of the US political system as we know it and 15 Democrats still think its appropriate to cross the aisle.
We might be able to see this as a signal of things to come. Perhaps, expect Trump to get his agenda passed with the support of the Democrats.
I set up a survey for lemmy users here:
Given the opportunity, do you think Biden would veto bill HR 9495?
I’m interested if the community thinks this Biden would veto this bill or not.
Oath Keepers?
Schumer will send this bill to Never Neverland. They will have to do it again next Congress.
I sure hope you’re right considering some Dems in the house voted for it.
That’s why they voted for it. They knew it wouldn’t go anywhere. They probably got something for it too.
