#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."

The #DemocraticParty is a #fascist collaborating party that exists to quell any #leftwing momentum.
That party needs to die to allow a #workers' #vanguard to take the place of an actual #opposition party.

Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on Facebook about the Kennedy Center – Perplexity & DrWeb – DWD Editorial
Editor’s Note: I had been following the Facebook group called “Occupy Democrats,” for some time. A post today in my timeline was surprising. I did read it. It was on point in many ways, but feels over the top, dramatized, inflamatory? Not a slam on the group; I was (my bad) unaware of its background (duh).
So I asked Perplexity to bring me up-to-speed, and this is the analysis of their post on the Kennedy Center. It notes they often post unsigned material, and no cited sources. I am not opposed to left wing political groups; nor am I opposed to progressive Democrats. I know now to remember: these posts have a “slant” and strong POV. That’s what free speech is all about. Good wishes to Occupy Democrats!
A lesson even for an old whizbanger from the old days like me. Verify. Verify. Verify. –DrWeb
Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on the Kennedy Center
The above message circulating from Occupy Democrats appears to be written in the editorial style typical of the organization, which is known for publishing unsigned, inflammatory content without individual bylines.1 This explains why there’s no signature or author name on the post.2
About Occupy Democrats
Occupy Democrats is a left-wing Facebook page and media outlet founded in 2012 by twin brothers Rafael and Omar Rivero.1 The organization is designed to operate as a “counterbalance to the Republican Tea Party” and has grown to become one of the largest progressive political pages on Facebook with over 10 million followers.1 Their content is characterized by hyperpartisan messaging, clickbait headlines, and highly emotional language that frequently uses terms like “BREAKING” and emphasizes outrage.3
The Rivero brothers manage the page collectively and rarely sign individual posts, treating Occupy Democrats as a brand voice rather than attributing content to specific authors.2 This is standard practice for their operation—they publish unsigned content that represents the organization’s collective perspective rather than individual authorship.1
The Kennedy Center Situation
The substance of what Occupy Democrats posted is largely accurate based on reporting from legitimate news sources. The Washington National Opera is indeed considering leaving the Kennedy Center due to Trump’s February 2025 takeover of the institution.45 Key facts include:
The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and other mainstream outlets have all reported extensively on this crisis at the Kennedy Center.68 The Occupy Democrats post appears to be a highly dramatized synthesis of these legitimate news reports, repackaged in their signature inflammatory style.13

You know there's people like #GrahamPlatner clearly are obvious "plants" who ultimately don't believe in anything #leftwing at all & are there to mislead you and we have #ZohranMamdani who's probably genuine in his intentions in how he got started and then got consumed by the #DemocraticParty.
Both ultimately will be the same!

With Catherine Connolly's recent landslide in the Irish Presidential election, and with the huge resurgence of the Left in the UK (with both Zack Polanski's left-wing Greens and Jeremy Corbyn + Sarah Sultana's YourParty) we are piece by piece defeating the chaos and division of the far-right -
not with a series of unambitious tweaks and compromises, but with a positive alternative vision based on solidarity and hope!

It's hard to overstate how important this overwhelming victory of a democratic socialist New York Mayor is for the US and for the world.
At a time when the far-right, aided by toxic social media algorithms and billionaire media, are selling hate to billions, the Left has seen a huge resurgence based on a radical hope.
