Antifa, as outlined in the national security presidential memorandum (NSPM), is a multifaceted entity. It’s present in online forums, social media, and face-to-face gatherings. It’s found within educational bodies and nonprofit organizations. It manifests in protests, or what some label as “riots,” not only in Portland but also in places like Los Angeles, targeting Trump’s immigration policies or participating in “anti-police and ‘criminal justice’ riots.” It involves doxxing activities aimed at masked and armed ICE agents. Additionally, it includes the “rhetoric” associated with the bullets allegedly inscribed by Charlie Kirk’s supposed killer, particularly an unused bullet casing with a gaming sequence inscribed on it.
Antifa might be represented by a young person in a black mask hurling a brick at a CCTV camera at an ICE facility. It might be the elderly woman on the street holding a sign saying “DONALD TRUMP IS A FASCIST.” Antifa stands for ACAB. Antifa is synonymous with the slogan “Fuck ICE.” Antifa represents No Kings. It could be a book club, a teach-in session, or an Instagram post requesting mutual support. Antifa might even be the ICEBlock app, potentially making the App Store liable for providing material support for terrorism.
