"The justification was laid out in what administration insiders called 'NSPM-7,' or National Security Presidential Memorandum 7. This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said at the time."
"Among the government's 'terrorism' targets: transgender people, whom the far-right have erroneously blamed for an epidemic of mass shootings, including Kirk's. Tyler Robinson, charged with Kirk's murder, is a cisgender man who has a transgender girlfriend."
"Miller's paranoia about trans left-wing terrorists is getting a budget. In the recently released Fiscal Year 2027 FBI Budget Request to Congress, the Department of Justice (DOJ) spells out a Miller-esque framework to address threats to 'the Homeland' and our 'way of life'."
The Trump administration's NSPM-7 represents a significant shift in policy, equating gender extremism with domestic terrorism. This memorandum aims to dismantle left-wing terrorism, specifically targeting transgender individuals and dissenting political beliefs. The administration's narrative falsely links transgender people to mass shootings, despite evidence to the contrary. The Fiscal Year 2027 FBI Budget Request outlines a framework to address perceived threats to the homeland, reflecting a broader agenda to suppress political dissent and marginalize LGBTQ+ communities.
