Bondi labels Antifa ‘no different’ than MS-13 gang and tells Americans to check with MAGA influencers to back up her claims
Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted Antifa was “no different” from the MS-13 drugs gang, citing the experiences of MAGA influencers to support her claims.
She accused Antifa of being responsible for the “chaos” in Portland and other cities, where crowds have protested the deployment of federal agents. “They’re at all of these events, they’re encouraging violence, they’re calling everyone fascist, but it’s more than that. It’s hurting the American people. They’re no different than MS-13 or any gang out there.”
She added: “Talk to all the influencers who have been threatened and beat up and their lives threatened from Antifa members. It’s going to stop under Donald Trump.”

Fascists really don't like people who fight fascists.
I'm right here, Pam. I'm antifa. Come at me.
We are all antifa on this glorious day.
GOOD point
If you’re not antifa, then you’re fa.
Oregonian
In lieu of a bible, someone will do a dramatic reading of this to ICE:
LOL
So MS-13 would have won against Nazi Germany in WW2?
Don't you remember MS-13 riding around naked on bicycles and dressing up as frogs??
Hello, I’m an antifa domestic terrorist and I’m in opposition to this regime. My username here is also my legal name.
Come on, Pam, come fuck up a stroke-addled disabled trans woman who doesn’t have the strength to lift a gun!
Cassian Andor: Well, we'll find a place they haven't ruined yet. Maarva Andor: I'm already there. That place is in my head. They can build as many barracks as they like, they'll never find me.
The season one ending is hard to watch now.
We are all Ghor.
We are all Andor.
Woah woah woah, that is WAY too pornographic of a situation for the fascists. That's the stuff that gives them wet dreams.
Oh I think we can mcgyver something up real quick, don't let your dreams be dreams, get armed, stay armed and resist disarmament with violent force if necessary. It's the American was after all.
1930s: Jews, Poles, communists, trade unionists, homosexuals, the mentally ill
2020s: Antifa, immigrants, leftists, LGBTQ, the disabled
I'm so close to getting a BINGO with that last list!
It's never too late to become an alcoholic!
Who is Antifa murdering these days? Human trafficking? Drugs? Bombings? wtf is this govt even talking about?
Maybe those quaint dementia villages are where most of these mouthbreather backbirths'd prefer to exist. 🫡
No no no, you call anyone that does something you don’t like antifa so you can pre-arrest other antifa before they commit a crime, thus preventing crime. This is an innovative strategy that certainly isn’t illegal at all
All this over inflatable costumes and naked bikers? I mean…. Tell me you’re worried without telling me you’re worried. 🙄
Pam Bondi is protecting paedophiles. You can also check some MAGA influencers to back that up too...
Lock HER up!
One of the many reasons they won't allow a 28 election, if and when sensibility returns to office, she'll easily be prosecuted.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
There was a dream that was the United States of America. A dream that any man, that anyone, could seek out their fortune and happiness. Being free to succeed, free to fail. But free above all else to seek happiness and liberty. This dream has never really been realised, but there was always hope that one day it could be. That The United States of America could be a place of hope, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness for all. That hope, that most fragile of things, is under attack. A dark cloud of control and censorship that seeks to stamp out that hope of freedom. If there was ever a line, it has surely been crossed now that theres masked men lifting people off the streets for the crime of "looking brown". At some point this has to stop being a battle in ones and zeroes, and needs to be taken to the very streets of those who would take away freedom and hope of the masses for their own gain. At some point, the line has to be drawn that the will of the people will not tolerate it being broken.
There are many tools to challenge tyranny in The United States of America. Legal, and otherwise. And it is, or should be, the duty of every citizen to use those tools to protect liberty, freedom, happiness and most of all, hope. To paraphrase the famous words of Jean Luc Picard,
"I will not sacrifice these United States. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They kidnap people in broad daylight under the guise of law, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!".
Asking MAGA influencers if Antifa is the same as MS-13 is like asking Mengele if its safe to take a shower.
FWIW, I would consider checking with MAGA influencers to see what I should think. Pretty simple, see what they are thinking, and go with whatever pisses them off, or is 180 degrees off from what they suggest.
I don't know, did the umbrella man ever get properly dragged into a court and then sent to prison?
At least one of those guys was, almost immediately, arrested,
If antifa is the one responsible for the chaos in portland, she must think portland police and ICE are "antifa."
Seriously. Portland was just chilling, enjoying pumpkin spice and the return of rainy days--- then suddenly a bunch of violent fascists scumbags showed up.
The Democrats should come out and label MAGA as a terrorist organisation. It'd be more accurate.
They did that them selves, remember?
Yeah but they were just kidding and pwning the libs... can't you take a joke brah?
Those swine have no sense of humor.
Hey, members of the sus genus (aka, porcine) are remarkably smart. MAGAts are the opposite. 🥲
So they can't even complain about it. It can only good happen!
Yet they are ignoring the hundreds of murders by right wing fascists over the years since it doesn't fit their agenda.
This administration is so embarrassing. I can't wait to see them in prison.
Lmao I literally rode my bike right through South Waterfront today, here in Portland. Ain't no war zone, ain't no chaos or whatever flavor of the day they choose. Bondi and Noem and the rest are just doing what the right always does, egging the public on and saying whatever they want to be true enough times until eventually they find barely enough to cling to as leverage
I've got a counter point for the primeval slag creature known as Pam Bondi. Kill yourself, do it on live TV just put a .38 special through thine insipid skull, it'd be funny.
Hey man, nice shot.
She probably has miracle bones than can stop a .30-06
I know what your referring to but it's still the single most braindead thing I've ever heard, "Oh this dumbass who got shot was such a magic being that it stopped the bullet from causing collateral." Its so stupid that I legit want to shoot every fucking dipshit who were the initial spreaders of that trite, preferably with an M2 Browning loaded with .50 BMG explosive rounds.
There are people who are literally trying to canonize him. That's just one of his "miracles" 🙄
The lord works in mysterious ways.
So that really memas they're really FA
if there is no enemy you make one
There are enemies. Lots of us.
So the Homeland security boss wants us to take cues from, checks notes Youtubers and TikTokers who checks again have been paid and sponsored by the government or Russia, am I right?
OK. I'll check with Youtubers. Mo1stCritikal will be my first.
Huh, turns out he has an anti-firebombing stance. That's almost as bad as being antifa so he's a terrorist
There. Fixed that for you.
I am antifa...
Every decent human being is.
Seems like a weird thing for an Attorney General to say.
Oh sure, let me just check with Charlie Ki- oh wait
Projection!
MAGAts are domestic terrorists destroying rule of law & our Conststution
We should come up with a gang sign then.
I vote for 🖕
Simple, effective, gets the message across
Pam bondi is a slut
Wonder why you decided to make a sexualized accusation against her.
Well, she does whore herself out to the MAGAt-in-chief.
Uh huh. Because attractive women you don't like must be whores and get their positions with sexual favors.
Yes, we just went over this, but I guess it's nice that y'all keep warning women to stay away from Lemmy.
Bold of you to assume whoring out implies merely sexual favors. I was actually saying she is whoring out her character and reputation in exchange for power and money; you know, like one of those metaphor things we learn about in middle school.
#NOKINGS 10/18/25 - Find your local protest: https://www.nokings.org/#map
Obvious distraction with no supporting evidence is obvious
Publish the jobs report
Publish the Epstein data and arrest the pedophiles who raped those kids
Stop untrained, violent federal agents from hiding their identity and deporting kids with stage 4 cancer
It is a distraction, but it's also pretty obviously an attempt at narrative control.
We know what happens to people who get accused by this administration of being a gang member regardless of any evidence. It becomes an excuse to ignore basic rights.
We know that new memo NSPM-7 relies on vague language and Patriot Act era justifications that could potentially allow them to label any opposition to the president or the GOP as a member of Antifa, and it labels members of "Antifa" domestic terrorists. Under the patriot act, people who are believed to be domestic terrorists lose automatic rights and protections of civil liberties, in the name of keeping America safe from terroristic threats. Loss of individual rights for the greater common good.
The GOP has made very public statements about the No Kings rally and accusations about Antifa/paid protestors. Aside from just attempting to send a message to their base and stir up (potentially violent) conflict against a peaceful protest, it also provides the narrative that everyone attending the protest knew that doing so risked associating them with domestic terrorism.
I feel like it's pretty obvious where this is going. Or at least what they're threatening and want us to believe it's going. I'm not sure that they will actually follow through with cracking down, but there seems to be a few different possible scenarios for why they are so desperate to repeat and spread this rhetoric.
A. They are using this tactic to scare and intimidate people in order to decrease turn out on Saturday.
B. They actually will crack down on the protest, and use it as an excuse to target and arrest people for expressing free speech.
C. They're hoping their supporters will hear their rhetoric as justification, and carry out their dirty work for them by commiting an act of domestic terrorism. Except since it was an act against Antifa, obviously they will be considered patriots, not terrorists.
If C. happens, it not only keeps their hands clean, it potentially allows them to deploy military or federal safety task forces across the country to crack down and "keep the peace, for everyone's safety" even though their rhetoric definitely seems to be encouraging something like this to happen.
If B. happens, and arrests and agitation of peaceful protesters causes enough chaos and outrage, it also potentially gives them an excuse to deploy more military or federal task forces to cities across the country to prevent riots. (Which they're probably going to be doing in the very near future anyway, this just gives them the illusion of justification despite instigating the chaos.)
I'm hoping for the best case scenario, which is obviously A. They're just using fear tactics to passive aggressively suppress free speech. TACO but they're also willing to stoop lower than low to advance their agenda.
Regardless of what happens, the labeling anyone who disagrees with you "Antifa" is fascist bullshit, and if people stay home on Saturday, the actual terrorists win.
Go ask the other fascists who've been called mean names if these people are terrorists lol
So, like MS-13, an essentially nonexistent threat.
I'm not antifa. I follow Emmanuel Goldstein.
MS-13 the American gang?
No it's the new Windows version
The only way they could work harder to convince us they're fascists is if Politicians got caught with an American Flag grafted into a swastika and an accompanying pro-hitler text message controversy.
This coming civil war is going to be wild.
I know it sounds callous, but I'll have the popcorn ready anyway
I don't need to. I can look at the last mass shooter and I know who the real threat is.
Lmao
