I’m going to keep repeating this - calling right-wing extremists who are armed, organized, and threatening violence, “militias” works to their goal of establishing legitimacy. They are terrorists. Call. Them. Out.

And if you’re in media and calling them “militias”, but refer to Daesh, ISIS, Al-Qaida, or the Taliban as “terrorists”, you should really think about why that is and the bias that you’re internalizing in your work.

@fsinn There have been endless right wing terrorist attacks in America since the 90’s in the name of “well-regulated militias.” Federal buildings blown up, bombings of numerous medical clinics, and then the event that I’m still astonished so many “real Americans” support, Jan 6. I’m sick of the kid gloves. If RW extremists what to take on the police on Tuesday then they need to feel the full impact that domestic terrorism deserves.
