Leah McElrathA resolution has been introduced in the House to classify “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization.”
Because of course fascists would want to make antifascism illegal.

Communists, anarchists, and socialists should also take note:
Advocacy for “communism, anarchism, socialism” are noted in the resolution as being part of “Antifa.”
They’re basically trying to make ideas illegal.
StaringAtClouds has moved@leahmcelrath.bsky.social Maybe we should stop using the label "Antifa"
There are people who don't know what "Antifa" is, they think it's just another mob with a weird name causing problems
I had to explain Antifa to my sister, she had no idea what it meant
Call it what it is, "Anti Fascist"
Not "Antifa", spell it out, shove it in people's faces, make them understand what it means
No one can misunderstand what "Anti Fascist" means
And they know what those who oppose an "Anti Fascist" are
Daedalean@staringatclouds @leahmcelrath.bsky.social was an anti-fascist before it was called antifa. Will remain so whatever people want to call it. Even if the fascists call it ‘terrorist’.

The Nazis called the the resistance "bandits"
If terrorists was a thing then, thats the term they would use.
In the same way the invading forces of putin's autocratic empire convict the legitimate defenders of Ukraine of "terrorism", fighting according to Geneva convention on the territory of their sovereign democratic state.
It's a term that short circuits reasoning.
