This is a tremendously important development in the @StateDept @StateDeptCT effort against Far Left Terrorism. As I testified before @SenEricSchmitt’s committee, the A/I collective provides services that allow for distributing communiques and encrypted communications.
Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West. Today, the United States sanctioned several transnational far-left terrorist networks, including Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world. There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities. We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion.

✅ BLUF The anti-data center "movement" is an astroturfed op by China and their malformed commie bootlickers in the U.S. ✅ Background The activist in question here, Taylor Frazier-McCollum, aligned with the Party for Socialism and Liberation to target and block the data center. Neville Roy Singham funds and controls the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Singham lives in Shanghai and is an avowed Maoist, with deep ties to the CCP and a sprawling global network of communist front organizations, including PSL. Singham's wife, Jodie Evans, is a cofounder of CodePink, who along with her cofounder Susan "Medea" Benjamin, has been a major proponent for Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front orgs, the Iranian regime, Maduro, and the Castros. PSL and Democratic Socialists of America have significant and extensive crossover membership nationwide. PSL is also strongly linked to Antifa, with sources inside these groups confirming that lead agitators for "black bloc" events are just masked-up PSL provocateurs. ✅ Who's Who in this Commie Zoo: - PSL (and its hub The People's Forum in NYC) is the culture war and foot soldier front. Openly claims to be radically socialist, but leaders are frequently very candid about fighting for their violent revolutionary communist endgame. - Antifa (as a brand) is the jersey PSL (and sometimes DSA) puts on when they go from organizing communities to burning them down, or stalking and threatening federal law enforcement. - DSA is the political action arm, operated by radical socialists who don't have the balls to go full PSL and prefer to shower more than once a week. They are supported by the radical Working Families Party and its affiliates, founded by communist-inspired union organizers. WFP is also the ideological and political engine behind Ranked Choice Voting (hello Alaska!) and NYC Mayor Mamdani. The artist formerly known as Arabella Advisors, Sunflower Services, provides supporting fires through converting wealthy donor (and foreign-origin) money at the private foundation and donor-advised fund layers into many funding streams that sustain a national network of nonprofits which focus on climate change, social justice, and ELECTORAL infrastructure. These are the nonprofits that then "employ" the foot soldiers, political activists, and Liberation Theology-slurping commies that populate the ranks of the Singham Sock Puppet Network of PSL, CodePink, The People's Forum, and their media arm BreakThrough News. ✅ How It Works - A cultural wedge issue is identified and passed down from senior PSL leaders (likely from Singham) to the rank and file. - Local PSL and DSA chapters begin organizing protests, making signage, and getting issues on ballots months in advance. - Friendly media and aligned local nonprofits create an astroturfed narrative about the heroic activists rallying to stop [Bad Thing]. - If necessary, PSL thugs don the Black Bloc and cause a little disruptive ultraviolence. - DSA's political machine bridges into the Democratic infrastructure and makes it a "support this or lose the votes" proposition. - Larger partisan media outlets and activist organizations pick up the ball and run with it once the astroturfed effort is "legitimized" (e.g. laundered through the local influence machine a few times). These entities magically connect the dots from a few such outposts and create a narrative of a "national grassroots campaign against [Bad Thing]. - Major media outlets and Democratic candidates receive the signal and amplify across political races, whitewashing a completely manufactured cause as transpartisan and transcommonsense. - Low information voters hear about [Bad Thing] from paid TikTok influencers, X bots, social media ad buys, Lester Holt on NBC or whatever, the "Local Karens Are Mad About [Bad Thing]" Facebook group, and Gretchen Wieners, thus concluding from all the noise that "WE SHOULD TOTALLY JUST STAB CAESAR!" In a nutshell.

SCOOP: A Hamas-loving Gaza "aid" group called the Sameer Project claims to be a United Nations Children's Fund partner, but when I started asking around, the group deleted its violent posts and UNICEF denied any association. "UNICEF has never had any partnership agreement with the project nor paid for any of their work. We are reaching out to them to fix the mention on their website." Moreover, an American donor jailed overseas is reportedly accused of money laundering for Hamas with a financial trail that included ... the Sameer Project. And it gets wilder: a DEI specialist and UK-based NGO are tied to the group. My @dcexaminer investigation: washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

When the U.S. targeted Iranian government officials, Iran responded by mobilizing sleeper cells that targeted a U.S. base, Jewish institutions, a media outlet, and "everyone who supports America and Israel" across the West, "whether civilian or military," according to a federal indictment announced today. "[i]f God grants us success tonight, there will be a shooting at a restaurant," a defendant allegedly wrote at one point. But it's all morally the same because people die on both sides, Hamawy suggests. justice.gov/opa/media/147121…
Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary. BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary? HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight" BROWN: But are they the adversary? HAMAWY: "We should be making friends" BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'" BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them" BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary? HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"

Fun fact: A native Florida DSA member traveled to Cuba with help from the island's propaganda and travel agency to meet top officials before returning to start a "Cuban Americans for Cuba" group currently lobbying Washington, D.C. washingtonexaminer.com/news/…
Today my office issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America. We’re examining foreign contributions—including from Cuba and China—tied to their delegations and travel fund solicitations. FL law requires transparency. We will hold those who break the law accountable.

Keeping Chinese equipment in U.S. data centers is like demanding we keep CCP ordinance on our military bases. “It’s just a few hundred mines in a cargo container, I’m sure it’s fine. No, we’ve never seriously inspected it, but we trust the supplier!”
A day after the Jensen Huang honeypot scandal, Reuters now reports that Microsoft is lobbying the Trump administration to keep Chinese hardware inside America’s AI data centers (!!!!!) The FCC wants to ban Chinese optical transceivers, the parts that link AI chips together, because Beijing could use them to steal data or shut a data center down. One of the biggest suppliers, Zhongji Innolight, is on the Pentagon’s list of Chinese military-backed companies. Microsoft says America will lose the AI race to China unless it keeps buying from China. Sound familiar? Nvidia said the same about selling its chips to China, and Washington went along with it. American tech companies keep opening the door for the Chinese Communist Party. Of course, the FCC should finish the ban. reuters.com/business/media-t…

Gear up for more MB-affiliated candidates. The dam has broken.
Sen. Fetterman's new challenger is a DSA member who sits on the advisory board of the allegedly Hamas-tied USCPR. He worked in Lebanon, ran a business in Egypt and Jordan, called Hezbollah a "legitimate party" and said of Oct 7 that "the natives have broken free – good for them"

"Those who engineered and financed the first two world wars..." And who precisely Lara do you think that was?
America is a nation at war - but not the type of war most people recognize. No air raids, no tanks, no ground game like we’re used to seeing. And yet this is the biggest war the world has ever known. Those who engineered & financed the first two world wars recognized the limits of conventional conflict & turned instead to unrestricted warfare. Rather than invading with bullets & boots, they went for infiltraton of the education system, media & govt while exploiting technology & systematic ramping up of mass illegal immigration & the dark art of stealing elections. The conversations dominating the news & social media right now would likely not be happening if people inderstood where we really are. When bombs are dropping from the sky & your house is reduced to rubble & flames & you’re searching the wreckage for pieces of those you love, you focus sharply on survival & winning because that is all that matters. Everyone understands the true nature of the threat in moments like that. You don’t have to waste time or energy trying to get people to face reality because we are all living that reality. Petty differences evaporate. Harsh ideological divides disintegrate. We focus where we need to, because failure to do so is counted in terms we cannot escape & we all get it without anyone having to explain anything. In the warfare we know, heroes & cowards are born in plain sight & easy to separate. Traitors can only hide for so long. There is no confusion about gender. And the cost of every decision we make is clear to all. We don’t whine about long days or hard work or taking risks & we don’t worry about what people are going to say about us. We don’t because the cost of not acting is death/defeat & we all know what that means. We don’t lack motivation & we don’t focus all our effort on how we got here. We all know arm chair quarter-having & yelling at the TV are luxuries no one can afford. That time has already passed. We recognize that the fight for survival is not across the ocean in Europe, or somewhere far away. It is right here at our door. And the worst things we can imagine don’t have to be imagined, they are happening all around us. Right now we still have hope that unrestricted warfare means we will be spared the bullets and the bombs. But that’s because we don’t know this beast. It’s not the movie we’ve seen so many times. This performance doesn’t open with the bloodshed - they save it for the final act. The truth is there is no escape. No one gets off scott free. Everyone pays the piper. You may be able to buy time for you & yours, but you cannot run or hide or go along with it for long. This same fight is everywhere. Just look right now at Brazil, Poland, Hungary, Paraguay, Germany, France, South Africa and so on. Same issues. Same ideological architechture. Tactics & strategy align - end goal is the same. So those behind it? Same organizations, same, same money. No one can tell you what you do not want to hear. No eyes can see what is lost to the willfully blind. And more than that, we are out of time. Figure it out - or not. There is only one truth & none of us can alter it.

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio reveals Iran is making "OUTRAGEOUS" demands behind closed doors, talks are NOT productive AT ALL right now "Right now, it hasn't been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable, but in some cases, OUTRAGEOUS and ridiculous, and really not realistic." "The President would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that's not possible, unfortunately." Rubio does NOT sound convinced about progress being made toward a deal. Just TODAY President Trump announced an effort to cut off the regime's land-based lanes, not just sea. They are being STRANGLED.

This is a must read thread. This stuff is endemic and total poison to any serious efforts. It’s not just social media accounts either. Influencers, and whole orgs traffic in this kind of pied-piper fan-fic, promising or demanding impossible actions.
There exist on this web-site (X, the everything app) accounts that distract, befuddle, misinform, or otherwise bamboozle well meaning, curious people. This is one of them. Allow me to explain. 1/

In the purge of counterterrorism training that presaged rise of “countering violent extremism” one diktat was that training not rely primarily on “case studies.” Rather than helping officers develop an accurate heuristic based on historical examples, the goal was to apply outside academic theories with no basis in reality.

I’m not sure they failed to recognize that they needed to wrap up the war as much as they failed to recognize that the enemy gets a vote and the Iranians WOULD NOT negotiate an end to the conflict because the economic outcome suited them. The biggest misread I see from all parties is ignoring that the Iranians are themselves actors in the conflict, and they want it to continue.
As much as I like @marcthiessen & @marklevinshow , I tend to agree with @seanmdav that they were too focused on escalating the 2026 Iran War, had no exit strategy, and failed to recognize that if the war was not wrapped up by April or so, the GOP would suffer badly in the midterm election.
