Justice Department Forms Domestic Terrorism Unit
January 11, 2022 at 10:45 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“The Justice Department is forming a new domestic terrorism unit to help combat a threat that has intensified dramatically in recent years,” the Washington Post reports.

“Matthew Olsen, the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, announced the unit in his opening remarks before the Senate Judiciary Committee, noting that the number of FBI investigations of suspected domestic violent extremists — accused of planning or committing crimes in the name of domestic political goals — had more than doubled since the spring of 2020.”

We need anti-terror legislation, as well.

6. Finally.

I hope it is robust and effective.

I think a propaganda unit is overdue as well. right wing media is by and large an abuse of the first amendment and in my opinion, it is the gravest threat of all in terms of destroying democracy in the USA.

7. It's about time! Long past, frankly.

It’s critically important to call this what it is: domestic terrorism.

And yes, those goons who ransacked the Capitol were, and STILL ARE, TERRORISTS.
