Hawk's Podcasts / Feds Are Targeting The No Kings Protesters This Saturday - Labeling Them Domestic Terrorists

[ihaveaquestion]

Hawk discusses the leaked DHS and FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein that warns local law enforcement to treat this Saturday’s No Kings protest marches as potential terrorist threats. Hawk examines how the Trump administration and congressional Republicans are framing dissent, protest, and free speech as “domestic violent extremism.”

Drawing from the leaked memo, Hawk outlines how the Department of Homeland Security and FBI are using incidents at ICE facilities in Texas as justification for broad surveillance of protest movements. He explores how this new national security directive—rooted in Trump’s National Security Presidential Memo Number 7—signals the growing criminalization of dissent in America.

Hawk focuses on the language of the bulletin, which refers to “domestic violent extremists” and conflates constitutionally protected protest activity with terrorism. He calls attention to how this framing erodes First Amendment rights and could reshape the relationship between citizens and government.

From the “No Kings” protests to the administration’s expanding surveillance powers, Hawk takes a hard look at what it means when peaceful protest is treated as a national security threat.

Just smile and wave, and hold your sign high.
