Leftists who get mad over posts like this are dealing with some serious internalized ableism.

How Many Members Does #Antifa Have? Where Is Its Headquarters? The #FBI Has No Answers.
Despite saying that antifa is the biggest U.S. domestic threat, the FBI couldn’t explain how the movement is a “terror organization” — or an organization at all.
by Matt Sledge, December 11 2025
Excerpt: "At one point, the FBI’s #MichaelGlasheen fumbled with his hands as he tried to find an answer for the question from Rep. #BennieThompson, D-Miss.
" 'Well, the investigations are active,' Glasheen said.
" 'You said antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us, as a committee, how did you come to that?'
"Glasheen’s comments came three months after President Donald #Trump proclaimed that antifa is a 'major terror organization,' even though it the broad political movement does not have a #hierarchy or #leadership.
"Trump followed his designation with a presidential memo on September 25 directing the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate and prosecute antifascists and other adherents of 'Anti-Americanism.'
"The formless nature of the antifascist movement, however, appears to have flummoxed the FBI as it attempts to carry out Trump’s orders.
"Glasheen called antifa 'our primary concern right now' and called it 'the most immediate, violent threat' from domestic terrorists. That led Thompson to ask him where antifa is located and how many members it has.
" 'We are building out the infrastructure right now,' Glasheen said.
" 'So what does that mean?' Thompson shot back. “I’m just — we’re trying to get the information. You said antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us, as a committee, how did you come to that? Where do they exist? How many members do they have in the United States as of right now?'
" 'Well, that’s very fluid,' Glasheen said. 'It’s ongoing for us to understand that. The same, no different than Al Qaeda or ISIS.'
"Glasheen visibly struggled to answer the question before saying that the FBI’s investigations were 'active.'
"Glasheen is a veteran FBI official who was appointed to serve as the Terrorist Screening Center director under the #Biden administration in 2023 and selected by current FBI Director Kash Patel as one of the agency’s five operations directors earlier this year.
"The FBI’s shift to focusing on alleged #LeftWing violence comes despite researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies finding that despite an increase this year, it remains 'much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by #RightWing and jihadist attackers.' "

"Participants’ views on #Israel and #Palestinian rights influenced whether they felt marginalized in #Jewish spaces, the survey found, with #progressive #Black #Jews feeling more alienated than those who are centrist. #Survey takers tended to identify as #leftwing in regard to the #war — somewhat predictable, the organization pointed out, as a left-leaning group conducted the survey. A third said they felt more marginalized in Jewish communities that gave unquestioning support to #Israeli government actions in #Gaza.
But many respondents said their dual Black and Jewish identity was celebrated in progressive non-Jewish spaces when they unequivocally disapproved of Israel, Leonard said, but not necessarily otherwise.
About 19% reported feeling an increase in marginalization in non-Jewish spaces due to their own “pro-Israel beliefs or connections.” And about 15% said they felt marginalized in non-Jewish spaces “due to conflation of Jews with the Israeli government.”

#CivilLiberties Defense Center on Trump’s Push to Designate Domestic Groups and Ideologies as #Terrorism
September 25, 2025
"Report from the Civil Liberties Defense Center (#CLDC) on moves by the Trump administration to attack #LeftWing groups and ideologies as domestic terrorism.
"Yesterday the Trump regime signed yet another executive order that plainly states what many of us have known for a while now—that the #cabal currently in power are unabashed #fascists. Donald Trump declared that those opposed to #fascism, those who are #AntiFascist in this county — a country that has fought wars against fascism — are now labeled as '#DomesticTerrorists' by this current government — in essence, enemies of the state. Trump and his minions do not have the constitutional or statutory authority to create a terrorist designation pertaining to an amorphous political belief. Period.
"The #FirstAmendment continues to protect #FreedomOfSpeech and association, and would thus prevent any Congressional attempt to enact a law that would allow the US government to designate US groups as terrorist organizations based simply upon their political activities. But, as we know with this regime, there is the law as it has existed for over 100 years, and then there is their attack on the law.
"This EO targets '#Antifa' which is obviously short for 'antifascist.' Antifascists are opposed to fascists. Fascism rejects democracy. Fascists sign executive orders (no democratic process involved) that seek to malign or punish their political opponents, because that is the only way they can take more control from the people in a democratic country. Fascists attempt to undermine democratic elections, erase actual history, and manipulate words to falsely justify their propaganda. This EO is another example of Trump’s war of words — an attempt to recreate reality in order to solidify a fascist #dictatorship."
