Trump’s EO labeling antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” can and will be used to threaten journalists and sources.

Being arrested for holding a sign on public property will be a slam dunk lawsuit.

They might get so confused they won't know how to react... I mean they think tylenol causes autism after all...

@freedomofpress its funny cause last I checked the depart of war is historically an antifascist organization. He just labeled the U.S. military a domestic terrorist organization which looking back at the last 24 years... Trump is correct, the department of war is a terrorist organization.
