Unpopular opinion but being connected to many people impacted by terrorist designation - let me be clear that calling for its expansion to white supremacists won't work. It is fundamentally regressive law and targets Black, Indigenous, Muslim, Sikh, left communities by design. https://twitter.com/theJagmeetSingh/status/1347284583709093889

We need to dismantle security state, esp post 9/11 security state, and not allow for its expansion under any guise. There is no "appropriate" left reason for more criminalizing or securitizing laws. Global war on terror and its ongoing aftermath must be dismantled, not bolstered

Having organized w/security certificate detainees, west coast warriors raided, land defenders targeted by Sitka, countless refugees & permanent residents facing deportation & admissibility hearings on security grounds, I know anti-terror legal infrastructure is rotten by design.

There's lot of questions in this thread, and also, unsurprisingly, more moves in Canada and US to implement anti-terror/domestic terror/counter terror measures against white supremacists and neo-Nazi organizations.
