It is *SHOCKING* how little the mainstream news is talking about this memoranda right now. They’ve glossed over just how bad it is! It expands on the “Antifa” EO, but if allowed to stand then it is the *SINGLE* biggest power grab against rights since the Patriot Act!

It’s as bad as people are saying it is, and a HUGE overreach but you can’t expect people to read. The intellectual laziness of society is at critical mass.
