Under the bill, the Treasury secretary would issue notice to a group of intent to designate it as a “terrorist supporting organization.” Once notified, an organization would have the right to appeal within 90 days, after which it would be stripped of its 501©(3) status, named for the statute that confers tax exemptions on recognized nonprofit groups.
The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence.
“It basically empowers the Treasury secretary to target any group it wants to call them a terror supporter and block their ability to be a nonprofit,” said Ryan Costello, policy director at the National Iranian American Council Action, which opposes the law. “So that would essentially kill any nonprofit’s ability to function. They couldn’t get banks to service them, they won’t be able to get donations, and there’d be a black mark on the organization, even if it cleared its name.”

There are absolutely differences between the two, but both R and D are sponsoring this bill.
“The current version — which was introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and co-sponsored by Brad Schneider, D-Ill., and Dina Titus, D-Nev. . …”
Hi.
Democrats have cosponsored this bill.
Trump takes office on the 20th of January.
Joe Biden is president.
Kamala Harris is vice president.
Thank you for proving that I am right. And you are wrong.

This is me having a gallows humor moment and pointing and laughing at all the dipshits who were INSISTING that D and R were the same and “both fascist parties”.
No the fuck they were not. One party was stupid, ineffectual, detached from reality and the citizenry, and very far up their own asses. The other party wants to turn Congress into the Duma and give the presidency (that they just won) powers roughly analogous to what Putin has. There is a fucking difference. Refusing to see the difference doesn’t magically make it not real.
Dems sponsored this bill.
Salem witch trials 2, electric boogaloo!
This time the victims will be companies these guys don’t wanna compete with!
The Satanic Temple?
Well this doesn’t seem ominous at all.
Great!
Let’s see… Black Lives Matter is an obvious one they’d target. ACLU - less obvious, but definitely going to be in someone’s list. Planned Parenthood, for sure. EFF, because why not? Any international aid group that’s ever helped non-white, non-Christian countries. Definitely certain political action committees, as well as specific religious organizations. And almost assuredly the organizations of competing political parties.
Just fan-fucking-tastic.
Every part and every player of the U.S. government merrily skipping deeper into fascism by the hour.
