Stop using the word terrorist.

Don't describe anyone as it, don't think it, don't speak it.

That word is a part of the language of power in our country, it is an imperial word, and its implications involve extraordinary and lawless state violence.

Not useful for the left.
Desperately pleading for fascists to be called terrorists is an appeal to the already fascist, imperial American state. Gitmo is where America sends "terrorists" if they are lucky, if they are not it is simple execution. This will be used against us, without question.
