President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.

It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

How about we get this changed to "Kamala Harris: I am pleased to inform our many real U.S.A. Patriots that I am designing MAGA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL RIGHT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding MAGA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!", which I think would sound a lot better here.

Good luck with that. ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization. It's like criminalizing someone who says they are "spiritual," or "New Age."

The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

That's the point, anyone can be part of Antifa. The Trumpie Regime can arrest anyone on bogus charges with bullshit evidence. EDIT: The lack of hierarchy and goals outside of being anti-fascist is what would allow Trumpie and Blondie to charge/kill anyone for being part of Antifa.

Protested at No Kings Rally? Antifa. Jail.
Said mean things about Trumpie? Antifa. Extrajudicial killing.
Made a Republican cry? Antifa. El Salvador Death Camp.

The US Public already green lit stripping rights away from terrorists was fine. The next will be drug smugglers and drug dealers. Then it will be the mental ill and hey look at that the Regime has been saying LGBT people are mental ill, better take their rights away. Homeless camps have a lot of crime and we should take away their rights. This just keeps going and going.

Trumpie is a giant walking piece of shit, who raped women and girls, committed numerous criminal offences, and actively corrupt. Trumpie should have been in prison a long time ago. Yet, Trumpie still deserves having rights. If you take away Trumpie's rights, you have demonstrated that rights are privileges. Guarantee, another government will find ways to expand the situation of removing Trumpie's rights to fit that government's agenda.

The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

Centrists will make sure that never happens.

ANTIFA is an idea

This is what is confusing the obese orange cunt, he has no idea what an idea is.
He's never had an idea, they've only ever been spoon fed to him by his cronies and, obviously, putin/russian handlers.

Just like democrats and Biden used the SCOTUS' ruling on presidential immunity to assassinate Trump?

Dear US frogs, the water is boiling. If you have the possibility to either leave or organize armed resistance, you should do it fast. Your window of opportunity is about to close.

I cannot stress enough the importance of watching what you say online. They will have an ai search every comment ever posted and identify a list of enemies of the state. I can absolutely see us headed to the point where anything negative ever said about dear leader will be grounds for arrest.

Yep.

This is our future because we were too stupid as a society to avoid it.

Make sure none of your social media points to your real name or phone number or address. If you aren't sure, scrub it and make new accounts. Get a VPN and use it always.

Last time anti fascists were labeled as terrorists was during the 1940's in nazi occupied countries. So this is a strong message from Adolf Trump.

Also, most of all radicalized gun violence and terrorist attacks the past years have been from the radical right. But fuck facts and statistics, eh? You orange deranged muppet.

He's going to weaponize this to go after Sanders, Warren, AOC and the like.

..And we're continuing our march to 1930s Germany

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised that he used this as an excuse to kick out all Democrats from government, just like evil mustache man did.

Anti antifa = pro fascism

Is this admitting now that they are straight up fascists?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They've been using antifa as a boogyman for a while, but now anyone who opposes fascism is a terrorist. So if you're against Trump, you'll have the full power of the PATRIOT act and Homeland Security coming after you. Very fucked

Antifa is so 2016 dude, it doesn't exist anymore.

It's another distraction for his base to not realize they are being screwed so royally by their daddy trump.

You can't just declare random people who hate Nazis a terrorist group and then ignore proud boys, the KKK, and MAGA.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 23 hours ago

You are completely wrong. Antifa always exists. Anyone that is against fascism is "antifa." It isn't an organization. It's ideology. Antifa = Freedom.

To be a terrorist organization, don’t you first have to be… an organization?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

It’s the same thing they do with claiming some random tattoo is a gang tattoo.

It’s difficult to prove an actual crime was committed by someone than to create a scary boogeyman “organization” and just convince people you’re guilty by association. It’s even easier when you can change the characteristics of the boogeyman to match the person you’re trying to prosecute.

We’ve let it go on for decades, and now there’s plenty of precedent. We don’t stand a chance.

[-] [email protected] 178 points 1 day ago

Or at least commit acts of terrorism?

How do you add "no terrorism" to "no organization", and come up with "terrorist organization"?

Antifa's Wikipedia page has a similar juxtaposition:

Several analyses, reports, and studies have concluded that antifa is not a major domestic terrorism risk. On September 17, 2025, Trump announced plans to designate Antifa as a "major terrorist organization."

What's really bad about this is that the moment you are officially labelled by the government as a terrorist they can violate any rights you have

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago

Which is exactly why it was a mistake to decide that human rights no longer apply to icky terrorists.

Antifa doesn't exist; it's not an "organization" at all.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

That's what makes it so useful to them. If Antifa doesn’t exist, then they get to make it up. And that means they get to decide who's in it.

And of course, once they decide you're a member of Antifa, that makes you a suspected terrorist. And suspected terrorists don't get things like a right to a trial. Suspected terrorists get shipped off to Guantanamo. Oh but you're not actually a terrorist? How do you plan to prove that in court, if you don't have a right to a day in court?

All that shit that everyone let slide when it was being used to hunt AL Quaida or whatever; this is where it leads. Once you decide that certain people don't get human rights, all they have to do is expand the definition of certain people.

In other words, Trump says that anyone who is against him, or worse, hurts his feelings with a quip, will be designated as a terrorist.

ARREST STARMER AND LAMMY, War criminal, authoritarian, pandering orwellian pieces of shit. Ironically got so bad the conservative MPs, same people who got absolutely finessed by russian donors, lobbyists and spies started pushing back on pissraeli ties and weapon donations.

The labour party inherited the shittest govt of all time, and somehow decided to do an even worse job in only a year. Suppressing freedom of speech, passing the Orwellian online safety act, and using the dystopian terrorist act to arrest people for disagreeing with them with no due process, and doubling down on austerity, and also blaming migrants. All this shit is fuelling the far right and amplifying their racist voices 100x.

Hey Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle

making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

That's not just deliberate, it's the point.

By keeping it vague while controlling the agencies and courts responsible for enforcing it, they can declare all resistance to be Antifa (like their media echo chamber already does) and thus terrorism.

This is literally criminalizing constitutionally protected dissent and then elevating the crime to terrorism.

“I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated"

Proof positive that he doesn't know how the law works, since funding a designated terrorist organization is already deemed a crime and thus investigated 🙄
