On May 6, the Trump administration released their new counterterrorism strategy. It delineated three “major types of terror groups,” including “narcoterrorists and transnational gangs,” “legacy Islamist terrorists” and “violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists.” In a glaring departure from the Biden administration’s strategy focused on far-right extremists and white supremacists, the Trump administration is cracking down on ideology that they call “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”

They aren't trying to fight racism. They're trying to police your speech.

Western governments are rapidly adopting a highly specific legal framework that transforms legitimate criticism of foreign policy into a punishable offense. We investigate the mechanics of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism — a tool currently weaponized to sanction academics, threaten university funding, and erase decades of documented Middle Eastern history.

This isn't a conspiracy; it's a structural lobbying incentive. We look at how the establishment has blunted the tools needed to fight actual, dangerous far-right anti-Semitism just to shield a democratic government's military mandate from democratic scrutiny.

Ed has written a very cathartic piece on his substack today. I'd recommend reading it. I love this quote:

>‘You can’t tell people to go vegan, what about the people in Africa who don’t have access to plants?’
>
>‘You can’t tell people to go vegan, what about indigenous people who rely on subsistence hunting to live?’
>
>‘You can’t tell people to go vegan, what about the person living in poverty who works three jobs, has no spare time and lives in a food desert?’
>
>Funnily enough, it’s never these people who vegans are debating veganism with. It’s also not these people who are on Instagram and TikTok getting outraged by comments made by a celebrity. Instead, vegans are speaking to people who can go vegan but don’t want to, so instead these people appropriate the situations of others in order to justify why they go to In-N-Out Burger. They choose to express faux-outrage on behalf of other people when actually they’re just outraged that someone has dared to place an element of responsibility on their shoulders for a moral issue that they’re complicit in everyday.
