"On September 25, Donald Trump signed a presidential order called NSPM-7, a sweeping attack on free speech that targets progressive organizations and individuals for prosecution for 'domestic terrorism.'

And now, the first arrests linked to NSPM-7 have begun, including multiple people attending a peaceful protest outside an ICE detention facility near Chicago.

Under NSPM-7, anyone who holds virtually any vaguely left-of-center political views is now considered a target for federal prosecution. Simply holding a protest sign or posting on Facebook could be enough to get a knock on the door from the FBI.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country, but other than the coverage of a few independent journalists, it’s almost totally flying under the radar."

This is ridiculous.
