A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.

    No, but I’m expected to vote for the guy who’s in charge of the FBI.

    Unless Biden doesn’t have control over the FBI, in which case we have bigger problems.

      But the FBI is staffed by individual people. You can’t really expect the entire staff of the FBI to change or reflect the exact opinions of the president? I’m sure there are FBI agents that think this list is just as silly as you and I do.
