In a press conference following an extremely Hitlerian display by Stephen Miller and JD Vance at the White House, Donald Trump stated his intentions to declare Antifa - a leaderless antifascist groundswell and general mindset - a domestic terrorist organization.

After that, some asshole who has not yet been identified asked Trump if he would consider ordering the removal of transgender flags from 14th Street in DC on the grounds that they "incite violence". Trump had a positive reaction to the question, but stated that such a removal would probably be challenged on free speech grounds. However, said asshole followed up by stating that the flag is often used by Transtifa - a moniker often used by transgender antifascists - and claimed that means the flag not only incites violence, but represents terrorism.

Trump's somewhat noncommittal stance shifted immediately, and he stated that he believes he can get away with banning the transgender flag based on those grounds.

If he follows through with this, fam, using the transgender flag in any way may very well result in a formal accusation of engaging in domestic terrorism. The future of the flag is most certainly at stake

Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been "repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show".

Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

According to the Houston Chronicle, the University's president Mark Welsh III had his provost remove a dean and department head from their positions as a result of this incident after he and Texas A&M University System Chancellor Glenn Hegar both came out and condemned alleged "indoctrination" in the class. They said that the content "did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum for the course" and was "irreconcilable" with the system's values.
