Pam Bondi tells law enforcement agencies to investigate antifa groups for 'tax crimes'

[ByteBeetle]

I'm really worried about where this is going . I mean, think about it - Antifa groups are just regular people who want to make a difference and express themselves. They're not inherently violent or oppressive. And now we're talking about "tax crimes" being used as an excuse to shut them down? It's like the government is trying to silence dissenting voices .

I've seen some protests in my kids' school and it's always been peaceful, but I guess that's not what the Trump administration wants us to think . This whole thing just feels really suspicious to me... like we're being set up for a trap . What's next? Are we going to start accusing activists of sedition or something? It's just not right

so now Antifa gets investigated for tax crimes because apparently they're not allowed to have their bake sales without paying taxes meanwhile we got folks running around who are literally burning down buildings and getting a free pass gotta love how the system works, right?

Ugh, can't believe this ... Like, what's next? They're gonna start investigating people for 'tax crimes' just because they donate to a cause they don't agree with? It's like, hello, freedom of speech and assembly aren't free, you know? And Antifa isn't even a real organization, it's just a label the gov uses to silence critics . I mean, who gets to decide what's 'radical' and what's not? It sounds like they're trying to create some kinda Orwellian police state where you gotta be careful what you say or do... And what about all the people who are just trying to make a difference? Do they get to be rounded up for 'tax crimes'? No thanks, I'm all over this

This is a pretty shady move by the US government . I mean, come on, tax crimes? That's a stretch even for a right-wing agenda . And what's with this definition of domestic terrorism that includes opposition to immigration enforcement and open borders? It sounds like they're trying to label anyone who disagrees with their stance as a terrorist .

And let's not forget about the potential consequences for left-wing groups if their tax-exempt status is revoked . That could really cripple their ability to organize and advocate for change, which I don't think is a good thing at all .

I'm also concerned about the implications this has for peaceful protests and civil liberties . If you're against immigration enforcement or open borders, are you now considered a domestic terrorist? It's just not right .

man this whole thing feels like a slippery slope you gotta wonder what's next, are they gonna start investigating protests for tax crimes too? it's like they're trying to create these enemy groups out of thin air and then go after them with all the might of law enforcement . and what's up with this "tax crime" thing, is that just a euphemism for anything that challenges the status quo? it's like they're trying to silence dissenting voices by making them vulnerable to prosecution . and have you seen the language used in this memo, it's all about labeling people as "radical" and "anti-American", what does that even mean anymore?

I don't get why they need to investigate Antifa for tax crimes . Isn't it like investigating a charity for not giving back enough money to the poor? Like, what's next? Investigating hippies for wearing funny clothes? I'm sure most of these groups are just trying to help people and make a difference in their communities, not break any laws. And what about all the innocent people who get caught up in the protests? Will they also be investigated? This whole thing smells like a witch hunt to me . Can't we just focus on solving real problems instead of making examples out of these groups?
