[White House] Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization
Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States
One more step toward authoritarian wet dreams.
They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.
It's not about Antifa, it's about George Soros. Wait for it.
https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/soros-conspiracy-theories-and-protests-gateway-antisemitism
The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.
White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.
Yep, this just an excuse to send someone they don't like to the concentration camps.
“We’re fascists therefore everything you do to oppose us is antifa”
Fasception
Antifa is very real. They started fighting the Nazis in Germany. Today we fight fascists all over the world.
It feels weird that people say that "antifa isn't real". There's tons of groups using that name and symbols while doing Antifa type stuff. It's just not a singular organization but rather a loose collection of separate groups.
Time for another Red Scare!
Remember when Trump perked up after Zelensky told him they postponed their elections due to the war?
Kill all others.
Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
Who's intimidated by antifa? I swear the right is full of frightened infants.
Good! It's ABOUT Time we label WWII vets as the TERRORISTS they Are!
If you are anti-anti-fa, that means you are fa. Do I need to spell it our more explicitly than that?
Anyone not pro-fascist is a terrorist?
Pretty safe to say America is officially, explicitly, pro-fascism, then? Does this qualify us for any refugee status or something?
I think there’s ground for it honestly.
Even before, but now it can be argued even more easily.
Were I American, I’d definitely leave before it gets uglier (it will). I wish all my fellow « antifa » Americans strength in the times to come. You guys are gonna need it 😞
Leaving is, unfortunately, a lot easier said than done. The easiest method is probably getting a foreign employer to sponsor a work visa, and that’s not an easy pathway. Other ways are harder.
Don’t get me wrong, I have an escape plan in mind if push comes to shove and Canada starts accepting asylum claims from trans and nonbinary people, but uprooting everything to change countries is prohibitively expensive for almost everyone.
Yeah, there's already a rise of Americans from persecuted groups seeking asylum in Canada, Europe, and elsewhere.
With the rise of fascism, the US has increasingly become unsafe for marginalized people to the point that many are legitimately qualified for asylum in safer countries and it's going to get much worse before it (hopefully, but not very likely soon) gets any better.
Why does Newsweek care about this .00007 percent of the population who want higher taxes, worse health care, and anti-American trade policies?" White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Newsweek.
Ugh, I remember when our government would have acted like adults and just said "no comment" when Newsweek reached out to them.
These people are insolent fucking children
This would be time for Canada to rip up the safe third country agreement and start letting Americans claim political refugee status
Edit: for those who don’t know, the STCA means Canada only accepts refugees if we are the first “safe country” they enter. Since Canada still considers the US a safe democracy, American citizens / people entering from the US cannot claim refugee status
I am antifa.
It's so weird, like that should be the default, and not opt-in.
That's the neat part, it is the default. the only way to opt out is to praise the leader loudly and often, and never in any way be critical of or inconvenient to the regime.
Evolution is slow, we're still wired to kill anything that doesn't look exactly like who we grew up around.
Everytime a society starts taking society for granted, like it's some inalienable right that will always be there no matter what, we stop socializing our kids and stop enforcing social norms.
Then everybody acts shocked that humans are really just animals.
Being against fascism is 100% opt in, and even with socialization some people are gonna want it because it involves almost zero thinking
Like, if you wanted to design a system for producing people who hate thinking and just want ordered around...
It would be hard to do better than No Child Left Behind.
But for lol ke 30 years now no one has wanted to fix it. This is the natural result
I don't do antifa, I am antifa
So everybody who fought in WWII is now classified as a terrorist since they were fighting fa(cism).
Yep... and the "good guys" are now the fascists, according to them
Remember Antifa is short for anti-fascist. Calling it what it is changes the meaning behind this.
It's like the war against DEI. They say the acronym because if they say "I'm against diversity, equality and inclusion" they look like assholes
Well, guess we’re the ones who are all domestic terrorists.
If we already gotta do the time, might as well do the crime. /shrug
Is Antifa even a group? Like, do they send out newsletters or some shit? Can you buy a hat? Vote for leadership roles?
I thought it was more of a political belief. Wouldn't that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
It's literally just short for "anti-fascist". They're anti-anti-fascism.
Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Bingo.
I'm just over here waiting for the majority of Americans to grasp that we now have a fascist government. Literally.
Lot of denial going on in America right now. People are really going to have to start suffering before it sinks in. The suffering is coming. Guaranteed.
the denial won't end until trump is dead (ideally, in as embarrassing and compromising a manner as possible), coping for a "return to normal" that won't manifest
You are making statements that are not in dispute. This is the way forward for them.
Thats exactly what they're doing.
Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Yeah that's the idea
Most right wingers don’t like fascists either. See the American “left”
The people downvoting you don't understand liberalism is right-of-center.
Congratulations everyone! We are all now domestic terrorists if we don't agree with nazi's and the fascist government we have!
Thanks republicans! You got what you wanted! Free speech for right wing extremists, and everyone else is labeled a terrorist who can be sent to a concentration camp with zero due process!
All law and order is now gone, our economy is quickly crashing, and the job market is destroyed. Just as Donald Trump told his voter base he would accomplish, he actually did it. I give Project 2025 more credit than i did before. They streamlined us into Fascist US in less than a year!
Well, considering ANTIFA doesn't exist, I'd say it's pretty safe to say they're doing this so they can label anyone they don't like as ANTIFA and disappear them.
Everyone should be arming themselves and helping everyone they know arm themselves.
Is "antifa" in the room right now?
We even have a website.
Hilarity! Thanks for that.
Yes
"White House bans the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers for not paying homage to Charlie Kirk."
Nasty violent men who should have just debated the Nazis
It's not a distraction, it's a bigger deal!
Stop it! We know he's a pedophile who raped trafficked children, and we know the files won't be released.
This is more pressing. You're distracting from it with your tired meme.
ANTIFA isn't an organized group, it's a term to identify yourself as "anti fascist", and now that nets you a bullshit terrorism charge. People will start getting arrested and questioned about very mild anti trump sentiments and be charged with bullshit terrorism charges.
This is a crackdown on the remaining freedom of expression you can get away with. This is a huge deal.
Activists will be arrested and physically beat over this, we've seen this movie before in other authoritarian dictatorship struggling for power before. You'll soon be dragged into a van and stomped on for posting that stupid meme, but you're not posting it ironically, it's actually your main concern.
Out a here with your defeatism.
He didnt win the election.
He tried and failed to cancel Kimmel.
This is not like hitler. This is a schoolyard bully that's massively overplaying his hand.
Fuck off with they wont be released. They will be, and it will be the end of him.
Yes, it is a big deal, but it fits his agenda to constantly shock and awe so we forget. And no, the majority of his base thinks he's an angel.
Releasing the files and footage is the card that when removed, lots of dominos will topple.
People have the power, but not when defeatist shit like this gets upvoted.
/rant
Jesus fuck, not everything is a distraction from Epstein. There is a lot of other bad shit they’re doing simply because they’re fascists, no ulterior motive required.
Read a fucking history book
So, the White House is pro fascism...
We knew that, but thanks for confirming it
Woody Guthrie and all WWII veterans are rolling in their grave
Woody Guthrie wrote a song about this loser’s father. This has been going on a very long time.
Antifa is a loanword borrowed from the German antifaschistisch(antifa for short), which was borrowed from the Italian anti-Fascisti.
Antifa is domestic, that much is right. The only terror its bringing is to the fascists in power. And the reason they're scared is because of the last part, there isn't a single organization to pinpoint and find a way to disable or attack. Antifa is just Americans who are willing to resist the takeover, in little or big ways. They are a specific version of Anonymous.
Therefore, anyone who stands up for themselves is automatically Antifa and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Therefore, everyone is being threatened into doing nothing for themselves .... on anything, for any reason.
I don’t understand why it matters. Antifa from what I understand, is anti fascist. Is America fascist, so they need to be afraid of this ‘idea’?
I already know the answer, I just don’t understand why more people especially journalists aren’t asking it.
Both. That's how fascism operates.
I used to think that they were constantly paradoxical to obfuscate their message, but I'm more recently convinced by their anti-intellectual fervor that they might just be so stupid they don't understand paradoxes.
While I agree with you about the issue, i would like to point out that countries with "Democratic" in their names aren't shining beacons of democracy. This funny quip is easy to win.
Just need to make some kind of group that can be denied rights and then start designating everyone you don't like a part of that group. Antifa being that group is just typical Trump laziness and an exercise to see how far right his base actually is.
Since "antifa" is just an idea and not an actual organization, use another term that means the same thing.
That's the point I think, antifa is a vague term, the more vague the term the more broadly and selectively you can apply it as you want, it's just a fascist tactic to justify jailing anyone they don't like
anti-nazi?
They don't care. They needed a bogeyman they can use to suppress their "enemies" no matter who they are; now they have chosen it.
The US government designates most of their citizens and almost the entire world (except Israel and the Russian government) as terrorists as antifa means you're anti fascism. Guess I'm a terrorist now.
Fwiw, the President can't just "declare" that a group is a domestic terrorist organization. That's a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
We've been able to get away with declaring foreign groups as terrorist organizations because they're not based in America so the government can claim the Constitution doesn't apply to them.
Of course, we all also know this won't stop Trump...
It's never stopped the HF Ideology.
Right now it's anti-fascists. It used to be Islam. Before that it was hippies. Before that it was commies. Before that it was Native Americans.
Then you kind of split at the Mason-Dixon line. In the south it was Abolitionists.
Right. As if Trump cares about the constitution. He's done many unconstitutional things already, and he will continue to do so.
As a European, I wish it were only Israel and Russian governments... AfD is polling highest in Germany, Finland elected a far-right government as did Italy, France is well on the way to do that, and possibly so is Spain. At least I'm militant in a communist organization fighting fascism in Spain, proud to have participated and coordinated the anti-genocide mass protests of a week ago, everyone who's reading this: organize, organize and organize. Join local worker struggles and international worker solidarity with Palestinians, unionize yourself and your coworkers, push for general strike against the genocide in Palestine and for better rights for workers
At least the right here in The Netherlands is fucking up big time. The government fell twice (for the first time ever) and the recent protests of last Saturday were a complete disaster. The only thing the right is good at over here is showing how much they are incompetent clowns.
I know the right is on the rise here in the EU as well. However, the fight against them is also growing stronger. And no matter what, there's always coming an end to fascism. Stay strong!
Quick, everyone fall back to the Antifa HQ where police can't find you wink wink. It's in the deepest, shit filled sewers. The secret code to open the door is to take a deep breath and then dive to the bottom.
Ssshhh, don't tell the FBI. We don't want them swimming down here and finding us.
Text of the executive order:
DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
Executive Orders September 22, 2025
Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support, including necessary investigatory and prosecutorial actions against those who fund such operations.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
(b) This order shall be published in the Federal Register.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 22, 2025.
Ugh I guess we’ll have to change the name at the next meeting. Dave, you’re working on the agenda, right? Put “name change” at the front. Sandy go ahead and reach out to marketing and have them bring some fresh logo mock-ups. Jackie, you’re on kombucha duty this week.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law.
Glances nervously at the first amendment
You alright bud?
"All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations"
Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government
What did they mean by this
"We can't just label someone immigrant or trans so we need another term for people who we want to throw into our concentration camps when we don't like them that is vague enough so that it means everything and nothing."
Right, this one isn't about immigrants or trans. It's about anyone protesting them.
They're anti-fascist, so they're anti-US govt, what's there to get?
https://web.archive.org/web/20250922224626/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/designating-antifa-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization/ in case you don't want to visit that likely russian-compromised site.
This is McCarthyism all over again, which should come as no surprise considering Roy Cohn mentored Donald Trump.
Weird they are focusing on this but not releasing the Epstein Files as promised.
Weird they are focusing on this but not releasing the Epstein Files as promised.
Not weird when you take into account that Donald Trump raped children.
"all over again"
it never went away, it's just one part of the the same cycled playbook being used repeatedly
First they came for the Latinos, and I did not speak out
Next they came for the antifascists...
When they gonna take down all the ww2 memorials and statues that honor our vets fighting facists?
Right after they cast the golden statues of the small handed leader.
Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.
Those are all terrorist propaganda.
Well of course, those were made by notorious antifa pizzagate mastermind Tom Hanks.
Is this Antifa in the room with us now?
Well, I don't like fascists. Does that count?
your member card is on the way
Yes
As an Uruguayan this gives me a weird feeling. The dictatorship regime here started cause "the need to quash communist terrorists" called MLN or Tupamaros at the time they where revolutionaries at the time but they served more as an excuse, even the Che Guevara warned them at the time. The military repression and overthrow techniques where learnt in the school of americas that now goes by a different name. And you can see how the parallelism happens in the whole region. The scene is very alike and one would dare to think shit gonna be sadly worse on such an influential country. If anything in time you'll learn the meaning of the phrase
Nunca más...
Por desgracia, hablar en .world sobre el papel que han tenido los Estados Unidos en la propagación y financiación del fascismo en todo el mundo te va a acarrear acusaciones de "tankie". La mayoría de usuarios de .world son yanquis anticomunistas que van a aprobar toda represión contra los "radicales comunistas", tachándoles de autoritarios o de pro-Rusos. Como cantaba Carlos Puebla:
"Nada de viejos partidos, colorado y blanco: la nueva esperanza dice Tupamaros, Tupamaros!"
Translation? I used a translated app.
Unfortunately, speaking on .world about the role the United States has played in spreading and financing fascism around the world will earn you accusations of being a "tankie." Most .world users are anti-communist Yankees who will approve of any repression against "communist radicals," labeling them authoritarian or pro-Russian. As Carlos Puebla sang: "No more old parties, red and white: the new hope says Tupamaros, Tupamaros!"
Que hagan lo que quieran yo se bien quien soy y lo que creo. Seguiran caminando hacia ese destino mientras miran tik toks en su cel. Yendo a lo nuestro. Entiendo las ideas tupamaras aunque no las comparto del todo. Te soy sincero creo que aun seguimos teniendo muchas ideas acancronicas Marx Lennin Keynes y todos esos podrán haber tenido un montón de ideas base pero ni a ganchos se imaginaban el mundo que hoy tenemos, hasta te diría que ni Michelini ni Seregni tenian idea lo mas cerca a una idea clara que tenemos a mano es Grompone la verdad. Por eso y por varias razones creo que el capitalismo ni el comunismo funcionan. Te diria que en general creo en el anarquismo y socialismo moderno capaz. Pero siendo claros es mas cosas como el solarpunk, estructuras horizontales, un gobierno del tamaño correcto con servicios publicos y claras ademas de solidas regulaciones, impuestos a la riqueza, distribución equitativa. No es una idea de como manejar un pais sino varias que se aplican bien a diferentes aspectos de la sociedad.
You would think a country that is really good at terrorising the world would be better to recognise terrorists.
Oh they are. They understand what they are doing.
My grandfather was an antifa. Sadly, he isn't around to show this administration how they did it last time.
Around where I live we have this LARP/reenactment thing going big. It'd be a shame if some WW2 partisans got a little carried away...
Understood. I will not oppose Fa. I still, however, oppose Fascism.
We need to stop instantly panicking over "Donald Trump declares ..." headlines. He can declare that pigeons are spies sent by Martian aliens. He has no qualifications to say so, nobody intelligent should be paying attention, his zealots will still follow his orders, and it doesn't matter.
Him getting the normalcy of calling opponents terrorists is still a reason to panick regardless of him being a moron who declares stupid shit.
Its time they rebrand as Against Fascism. Because I really see that american dont understand what it means
I wonder if this line would work to console the families of the people his gestapo have already black bagged off the street
The fact that evil people have joined ICE to invade communities is due to their own evil - it's not "because of" anything Trump said. He's just a lump of flesh desperately trying to justify the abductions.
Basically, I'm suggesting we reduce how much we view his importance in the current chaos. If he suddenly decided ICE was bad for his image, he'd still be powerless to stop it. Look at how bad he is at pretending to care about Russian invasions.
Lol
About as useful as the War on Drugs, or Anon. There's no leader, or organizational structure, but they'll find someone to pin it on. I imagine there's already a board with strings of people they hate ready to go.
It's really easy to be a member of antifa, all you need to do is criticize the fascists.
We all know the Trump regime is the real domestic terrorist organization. Go give more dark money to superpacs that will make the world better.
If Antifa even was a terror organization in the US it would be one of the most ineffectual ones in existence given the state of the US.
What a fucking joke.
this is a good sign, as it means antifa will win this war just every like every other war on ideas the US has waged. US is 0 for 2 against Drugs and Terrorism
Sure, but they ruined a lot of lives and killed a lot of people in the name of the war on drugs and terror. Doesn't have to be successful to be a shit idea and end up hurting a lot of people for no reason.
Im of the opinion that hurting people is bad. But thats a controversial opinion in the U.S. government these days. You should be asking yourself, are you hurting the right people?
Proud Boys? Nah bro, they homies! – also trump regime
KKK? Nah
Says the extremist domestic terrorist organization currently occupying my country.
Edit: yes where ARE the Epstein files?
It's useful because now they can claim anyone they want to ICE that they are Antifa.
Oh, joy.
"so are you a 'explode something' terrorist, or 'Shares a meme that hurt someone's fefe's' terrorist?"
I think I'm just a passive consumer of American life who doesn't think fascism is all that swell, type of terrorist.
I guess they were correct that "we're all domestic terrorists"... Except a lot of the calls to violence are coming from the other side, and I just had this title thrust upon me...
armed standoffs with law enforcement
The Bundy clan and Republic of Texas are antifa?
OK so is he even allowed to do that? And if he isn't are government agencys required to comply with his order until it is overturned?
No and no. But that's only in the legal/technical sense.
I guess that just leaves the "pants on head" sense.
Oh no, they're going to raid aintifa's home address!
The antifa is coming from IN the house
Ok serious question and this is by no means an equivalency, but did the Biden admin classify the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers as terrorist organizations? I can’t remember.
No, the list is pretty short. They fucking should be though.
The list is short because historically it has been hard to designate domestic organizations as terrorists without violating their First Amendment rights (among others, I'm sure).
They are in civilised countries like Canada
Oh boy I sure hope that this is what helps the economy, lowers the price of groceries, gas, and housing. So much winning everywhere!
What a dunce. Does that idiot not even realize--- wait, ofc he doesn't. Antifa isn't a group, it's an idea. The idea is that we hate fascists. By declaring this "group" terrorists is basically saying HI I AM A FASCIST POS. 🖕🤬🖕
