"Both #conservative and #progressive institutions must choose between coalition maintenance and moral clarity. #Rightwing leaders must decide whether platforming #Holocaust deniers is an acceptable price for audience growth. #Leftwing #activists must confront how foreign adversaries have weaponized their movements to advance #antisemitic agendas. #Americans with platforms across the political spectrum must understand that silence functions as operational support.

The historical pattern is clear, and the contemporary threat indicators are impossible to ignore. #Antisemitism has been repackaged as a multipurpose political and economic tool: profitable for podcasters, strategically valuable for hostile states and algorithmically optimized for maximum reach. What began as ancient hatred has evolved into modern infrastructure—and that infrastructure is producing body counts."

Just a reminder. If your chosen politics are right wing then perhaps I'm not the best person to follow.

Antifa die größte Bedrohung für die inländische Sicherheit der USA?

Die Washington Post hat in einem lesenwerten aktuellen Artikel ("Die Trump-Regierung bereitet ein umfassendes Vorgehen gegen linke Netzwerke vor.") die Strategie der US-Regierung gegen Linke, LGBTIQ* Antifaschist:innen u.a. zusammengefasst und gibt letztlich einen düsteren Ausblick.

So hat Michael Glasheen, Einsatzleiter der Abteilung für nationale Sicherheit des FBI, letzte Woche bei einer Anhörung des Ausschusses für innere Sicherheit des Repräsentantenhauses erklärt, dass er Trumps Ansicht teile, Antifa sei die größte terroristische Bedrohung im Inland.

I am neither Left Wing nor Right Wing because both Far-Left and Far-Right ideologies are equally dangerous for any country or society.

How Many Members Does #Antifa Have? Where Is Its Headquarters? The #FBI Has No Answers.

Despite saying that antifa is the biggest U.S. domestic threat, the FBI couldn’t explain how the movement is a “terror organization” — or an organization at all.

by Matt Sledge, December 11 2025

Excerpt: "At one point, the FBI’s #MichaelGlasheen fumbled with his hands as he tried to find an answer for the question from Rep. #BennieThompson, D-Miss.

" 'Well, the investigations are active,' Glasheen said.

" 'You said antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us, as a committee, how did you come to that?'

"Glasheen’s comments came three months after President Donald #Trump proclaimed that antifa is a 'major terror organization,' even though it the broad political movement does not have a #hierarchy or #leadership.

"Trump followed his designation with a presidential memo on September 25 directing the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate and prosecute antifascists and other adherents of 'Anti-Americanism.'

"The formless nature of the antifascist movement, however, appears to have flummoxed the FBI as it attempts to carry out Trump’s orders.

"Glasheen called antifa 'our primary concern right now' and called it 'the most immediate, violent threat' from domestic terrorists. That led Thompson to ask him where antifa is located and how many members it has.

" 'We are building out the infrastructure right now,' Glasheen said.

" 'So what does that mean?' Thompson shot back. “I’m just — we’re trying to get the information. You said antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us, as a committee, how did you come to that? Where do they exist? How many members do they have in the United States as of right now?'

" 'Well, that’s very fluid,' Glasheen said. 'It’s ongoing for us to understand that. The same, no different than Al Qaeda or ISIS.'

"Glasheen visibly struggled to answer the question before saying that the FBI’s investigations were 'active.'

"Glasheen is a veteran FBI official who was appointed to serve as the Terrorist Screening Center director under the #Biden administration in 2023 and selected by current FBI Director Kash Patel as one of the agency’s five operations directors earlier this year.

"The FBI’s shift to focusing on alleged #LeftWing violence comes despite researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies finding that despite an increase this year, it remains 'much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by #RightWing and jihadist attackers.' "

"Participants’ views on #Israel and #Palestinian rights influenced whether they felt marginalized in #Jewish spaces, the survey found, with #progressive #Black #Jews feeling more alienated than those who are centrist. #Survey takers tended to identify as #leftwing in regard to the #war — somewhat predictable, the organization pointed out, as a left-leaning group conducted the survey. A third said they felt more marginalized in Jewish communities that gave unquestioning support to #Israeli government actions in #Gaza.

But many respondents said their dual Black and Jewish identity was celebrated in progressive non-Jewish spaces when they unequivocally disapproved of Israel, Leonard said, but not necessarily otherwise.

About 19% reported feeling an increase in marginalization in non-Jewish spaces due to their own “pro-Israel beliefs or connections.” And about 15% said they felt marginalized in non-Jewish spaces “due to conflation of Jews with the Israeli government.”
