The U.S. government is trying to figure out a way to pay people for reporting on anyone who supports trans lives.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the FBI to create a cash reward system for information leading to the arrest of leaders of so-called “domestic terrorist organizations,” a category the Justice Department now says includes people and groups associated with what it calls “radical gender ideology,” according to a December 4 memorandum.

The guidance operationalizes National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, issued by Donald Trump in September, by ordering federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to prioritize investigations and prosecutions tied to an expansive definition of domestic terrorism. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein first reported on the memo’s existence on Tuesday, after it was leaked.

Among the ideologies flagged are “adherence to radical gender ideology,” along with positions favoring mass migration, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and hostility toward “traditional views on family, religion, and morality,” the memo states.

    While I agree that things should have escalated past the mild protests we are seeing the military being brought into cities indicates pedo Antoinette anticipates riots and civil unrest. In his first administration we did see rioting around the BLM movement and in the sixties we had massive civil unrest but we also have been living with the consequences of COINTELPRO when any left leaning group had their leaders systematically assassinated by the state. Even in my lifetime I’ve seen the left leaning occupy wall street movement hunted down by the authorities and all the neonazi groups basically promoted and coddled by the government. Our system is also evil and precise in the way it disenfranchises and disempowers based on race and sex. Our worker protections are nonexistent and you and your family will basically die on the streets if you’re ejected from the system.
