    Ok I feel like I’ve seen a bunch of reports on the threat of right wing domestic terrorism from DHS and the letter brigade without seeing a lot of reports on what they can broadcast they are doing to address those threats. Like is there a specific set of tools they have to get congressional approval for or can they just get to work on these fools the way they’ve done with orgs like the klan before.

      I don’t think DHS actually has any major wins to its name. The original KKK was destroyed by the US military (deployed by authority of the president, but with legislature from Congress approving the measure), and the second KKK was destroyed by the IRS.

      honestly the DHS being involved in this is just confusing to me too since they don’t seem to do… much at all, it’s weird to see them squarely on the side of human dignity for once.

      hence why i also cited the Human Rights Commission :)
