   Is is about time?
   
   "Trump designates Antifa a 'domestic terrorist organisation'
   
   President Donald Trump signed an order designating Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organisation" on Monday as part of efforts to crack down on the "radical left" in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
   
   Terrorist group designations - normally reserved for foreign organisations - allow the administration to ban members and seize funding, among other actions.
   
   Trump's order directs all agencies and departments to "investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations...conducted by Antifa" and its supporters.

   Here is a video of a former member of Antifa talking about it.

   Hi Mike, I doubt there will be much chatter on this one. Every one already knows how dangerous Antifa is! If they do not wish to be put in that category... they would have a very hard time defending the actions of Antifa.

      I talked about this with someone on the left, not this forum, and they asked me, "Would you like the KKK designated as a domestic terror organization?"
      
      I told them not only yes, but hell yes.

   I think we're all antifa aren't we?
   
   It literally stands for anti-fascist, it's an ideology.
   
   It's not an organization.
   
   But if you think it is, where do I send my donation??

      "I think we're all antifa aren't we?"
      
      I'm not gullible enough to believe this group are anti-fascist.  The way they shut down people who want to engage in free speech and their use of violence to achieve their goals: they are the epidemy of fascists.  They are a terrorist organization.
      
      The name antifa and the logo with two flags representing anarchism and communism are derived from the German antifa movement.
      
      Antifa has a long history of terrorizing our communities
      
      In July 2025, members of an Antifa cell ambushed officers at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. After defacing vehicles with anti-ICE graffiti — including “ICE pig” and “F— you pigs” — the assailants lured officers out of the building and opened fire, shooting one officer in the neck.
      
      In July 2025, deranged rioters viciously assaulted federal agents at an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. Officers at the facility — which had been targeted by the local Antifa terror cell for weeks — were kicked, punched, and targeted with an “incendiary device.”
      
      In February 2024, a transgender Antifa terrorist detonated an explosive device outside the office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. The terrorist left behind numerous stickers with Antifa slogans and anarchist symbols.
      
      In March 2023, Antifa radicals laid siege to a planned police training center in Atlanta, Georgia. They attacked police with Molotov cocktails, booby traps, and commercial-grade fireworks, and destroyed construction equipment in what local police described as “anarchy.”
      
      In January 2023, Antifa members were charged with vandalizing pregnancy resource centers in Florida. The individuals were linked to the radical group “Jane’s Revenge,” which firebombed pro-life facilities and vandalized churches throughout 2022.
      
      In January 2022, an Antifa radical was arrested for bringing a pipe bomb to a pro-Trump event. The individual was spotted wearing all-black clothing and charged with multiple counts of possessing homemade explosive devices.
      
      In January 2021, an Antifa supporter threatened to shoot police officers and Trump supporters outside the Florida State Capitol. The suspect was tied to the Radical Left’s violent protests in Seattle’s “autonomous zone,” which resulted in several deaths.
      
      In August 2020, a self-identified Antifa member shot and killed a Patriot Prayer supporter during a riot in Portland. The suspect was later killed after he brandished a weapon while law enforcement attempted to apprehend him on murder charges.
      
      In 2020, Antifa terrorists designated a substantial portion of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle as a so called “autonomous zone,” taking it over and enacting its own delusional structure of self-governance. This led to violent clashes with police and multiple deaths and injuries.
      
      In July 2019, another self-proclaimed Antifa radical attacked an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington. The “known anarchist” was heavily armed and attempted to ignite a 500-gallon propane tank; after he ignored commands to drop his weapon, he was killed by police.
      
      In 2017, Antifa radicals threw rocks at police and attacked the attendees of several conservative political events at the University of California, Berkeley. In one instance, the violence caused the police chief to order his officers to evacuate a park while under siege.
      
      "But if you think it is, where do I send my donation??"
      
      Seems like there is a few places like Rose City Antifa, Minneapolis has an antifa group called the baldies. The largest seems to be The Torch Network.
      
      So, pick one.  I'm sure they'll appreciate your donation.

                  I'll give you this, Willow, Antifa is a decentralized ideology with no official leader or mission aside from the loosely-interpreted and reinterpreted ideology.
                  
                  I respect Antifa members with the cajones to go out and take action toward their ideology even if I don't agree with it.
                  
                  That being said, Antifa is a self-admittedly organized ideology with decentralized groups. Discord (social media chat platform) is full of Antifa servers laden with extremist rhetoric, and often used to organize "raids" and "demoralization efforts."
                  
                  The Accelerationists are very popular among these Antifa servers, and are typically the ones I find organizing groups and going out to actually take action, and that should concern everyone.
                  
                  Whether or not an ideology is organized centrally doesn't discredit a need to regulate the behavior it generates in the populace.
                  
                  Antifa is just another Proud Boys, KKK, O9A (a fairly new and rising star in the cult world), BLM (the social entity, not the organization itself), John Brown Gun Club, Anarchist Black Cross, Food Not Bombs, NFAC, ELF/ALF, RiseUp, etc.
                  
                  The most prominent and centralized Antifa groups are Rose City Antifa and Torch Antifa. Their sects are often supported by the other groups I listed in the form of tech, logistics, and training.
                  
                  They pose a current direct threat to youth radicals in the form of deeper radicalization, and if not regulated that could grow beyond just the "fiery, but not necessarily unruly" behavior we see from them now.
                  
                  Also, that should assist you in your endeavor to donate to these groups. Best of luck in your strange endeavors, and I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.

                     The other organizations mentioned, the proud boys, BLM and so on have actual leaders, organizers, offices, an organizational structure, they collect funds, they put out newsletters organize events and on and on and on. 
                     
                     "Antifa" has none of that.   It's an ideology  at best... Meaning anti-fascist.  I mean I can actually contact BLM through a website lol .  I could donate to them if I wanted to. I can sign up for their emails if I want to.

                        Find Andy Ngo out reporting, and there you will find Antifa! You can slip them all of the money you want! I recommend doing it before they knock the crap out of him.... again!! He [Ngo] may not be so lucky the next time & they [Antifa] will be in hiding.

                     The problem here is that you can be arrested on the suspicion of being a member of a terrorist organization that does not exists. (As Willowarbor explained)
                     This can lead to murky situations.
                     
                     Also the "Proud Boys, KKK, O9A (a fairly new and rising star in the cult world), BLM (the social entity, not the organization itself), John Brown Gun Club, Anarchist Black Cross, Food Not Bombs, NFAC, ELF/ALF, RiseUp" are not labeled domestic terrorist organizations.
                     This is a complete new concept.

                           The label "domestic terrorist organizations" is a new concept in the legal sense. As there is no official government list of “domestic terrorist organizations”.. Until now!
                           But as the Anti Fascist movement is a broad`concept, this can lead to accusations based on flimsy evidence.
                           Are you a member of the Anti Fascist if you have a bumper sticker saying "No fascism in my country!".?
                           Or if you hit a Proud Boy in a street fight. (And the proud Boy, not being a domestic terrorist organization, will get sentenced differently.)

                              It is not a new concept though. It is new for Antifa but they have been calling people domestic terrorists for years. You are correct in that there are no official lists, but that does not mean the government does not claim that anyone they do not agree with is a domestic terrorist. (Separatists in Idaho, for example.)

                                 What I read is that President Trump has no legal framework to make Antifa a domestic terror organization. He can tell the world that they are, and people might believe him, but according to the US law there is no legal framework for domestic terrorist organizations, only for foreign ones.
