4. The only groups they worry about

are "Black Identity Extremists" like BLM and "special interest extremists" like Erin Brockovich.
DHS sent out a special bulletin from a "fusion center" informing law enforcement agencies that Erin Brockovich would be speaking at the site of the East Palestine toxic disaster, and warning of "potential terroristic threats from violent extremists surrounding activities planned by environmental activist Erin Brockovich in East Palestine".

Yep. Erin Brockovich, threat to national security. 2023.

The FBI has targeted black liberation activity going back to its founding, including: sending letters to MLK that he should kill himself; the COINTELPRO program; and current anti-Black activities.
"In 2018 and 2019, the FBI conducted nationwide assessments of “Black identity extremists” under an intelligence collection operation it called “Iron Fist”, prioritizing these cases over investigations of far more prevalent violence from white supremacists and far right militants over that period, including mass shootings at a Pittsburgh synagogue and an El Paso shopping mall."

And most recently, the FBI used the Proud Boys - including convicted seditionist Enrique Tarrio - as informants to spy on left-leaning protestors. Proud Boys complicit with FBI. Hmm.

It's OK If You're A RWNJ.

Not debating that. The Magat Lago classified docs were a "slam dunk." The insurrection was 2 1/4 Evolve Dammit May 2023 #14

Too many. Why not concentrate on legislators who "allegedly" participated in the failed coup? usonian May 2023 #16
it certainly would. We seem to lack that scrutiny/oversight of elected officials, right up to SCOTUS Evolve Dammit May 2023 #18
