We Are All “Terrorists” Now: How Political Labels Are Weaponized

The Department of Justice has broadened the definition of domestic terrorism, encompassing organized structures, networks, and actions related to radicalization, rioting, looting, and doxing of law enforcement, as well as the targeting of public officials.
