Funding Antifa is now domestic terrorism. The Dems are guilty. We have the proof.
On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Now it’s time to cut off their funding and go after those groups that support them.
In 2023, Freedom Center Investigates exclusively reported that Antifa was raising money through the same Democratic Party platform used by the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). When Kamala became the candidate, the Harris-Walz campaign went on to use that same platform. And the DNC and Antifa are both still on it today.
The Action Network claimed credit for raising over $70 million for Kamala in 24 hours. The DNC admitted that the “Action Network has been foundational to the DNC’s fundraising and organizing success over the years”. And it’s been foundational to Antifa’s success.
Over the years, Freedom Center Investigates documented multiple Antifa groups fundraising on the favorite platform used by the Democratic Party. Today, Defend DC, can still be found there raising money for “DC antifascist organizing”. The DC Antifa account appears to have been created by Dylan Petrohilos: a graphic designer who was one of those arrested during the ‘J20’ riots during President Trump’s first inauguration. These riots led to injuries to six police officers, including one who was knocked unconscious by a brick being thrown at his head, attacks on cars, and ‘black bloc’ members with weapons causing over $100,000 in damage to D.C.
In an interview, Petrohilos described hanging an Antifa flag outside his house after Trump’s victory and was charged by the DOJ with planning the riot. The flag and a banner reading “Kiss Capitalism Goodbye” were confiscated during the raid, but the case was later dismissed.
Defend DC appears to have since rebranded as a ‘coalition’ of radical groups which includes the D.C. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as well as local ‘labor’ groups and is continuing to fundraise and organize through the Action Network platform under various names including apparently Refuse, Resist, Rebuild.
The Action Network was even used to host its ‘Nonviolent Direct Action Training’ session that included sessions on “supporting legal needs” at riots and “healing after actions”. Direct Action is often a euphemism for confrontational actions such as blocking streets and interfering with law enforcement. The previous J20 indictments had revealed planning sessions at an “action camp” during which the radicals were told to keep their phones in microwaves. No one engaging in legal protests need to go to such lengths to keep their operational plans secret.
The government’s J20 case revealed that “Petrohilos further states that the organizers were asking the participants to wear all black clothing, and the participants should not wear unique clothing because that will make it easier to question or identify them.”
At least one of the groups involved in the training, JVP, a pro-terrorist hate group, had been caught blocking streets and attempts to shut down Congress in support of Hamas. And had assaulted Capitol police officers. Other D.C. rallies promoted by the DC account, included one against Musk, which urged participants to “wear a mask” and “take the security measures right for you.” --->READ MORE HERE
Here’s how the nature of political violence works now.
Many of us who work in politics have felt sickened since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We sense that a line has been crossed, perhaps permanently.
For years, the Left had accused conservative intellectuals of fomenting “stochastic terrorism”—incendiary rhetoric that inspires violence. This accusation was used to purge conservatives from social media, and, during the Biden administration, contributed to the F.B.I.’s decision to monitor conservatives, including parents who opposed critical race theory. The Left sought to use the stochastic terrorism construction as an all-purpose censorship tool.
This year, the tables have turned. Donald Trump is in power and left-wing violence has surged. Even The Atlantic, which previously seconded the idea of stochastic terrorism, has now conceded that political violence from the Left outstrips that from the Right.
After studying several recent incidents of left-wing terrorism, I want to articulate some initial thoughts about what I call the “left-wing terror memeplex.” This system, in which left-wing narratives inspire decentralized acts of violence, has four elements: prestige narratives, radicalized memespaces, copycat models, and disturbed individuals.
The memeplex is not organized like the older model of left-wing political terrorism, which relied on organized groups (such as the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army), decentralized cells, ideological formation, and meticulous planning. By contrast, the memeplex is decentralized, mediated through the Internet, and, on the surface, appears unorganized. Left-wing media and political figures peddle narratives through the digital sphere; an individual commits an act of terrorism inspired by those narratives; and the media and political figures pretend that the two are unrelated and that the terrorist was a “lone wolf.”
But if you dig beneath the surface, it becomes apparent that these dots are often connected and that the memeplex, though decentralized, is designed to radicalize disturbed individuals and generate bloodshed—with plausible deniability for political actors. In other words, the progressives who seed the memeplex are fomenting precisely the “stochastic terrorism” that they previously decried.
Let’s examine the elements one by one. First: the prestige narratives. For the past decade, the Left’s elite media and political figures have entrenched a series of hyperbolic and highly polemical narratives: that Donald Trump is analogous to Adolf Hitler; that America is about to fall to fascism; that conservatives are organizing a genocide of transgender people; that deportations are laying the groundwork for martial law. These narratives have taken root not only on the fringes of activism and academia, but are reflected in the headlines of the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, MSNBC, and other mainstream outlets.
Likewise, the Democratic Party has deployed these narratives in political campaigns, protest rallies, and social media messaging, arguing that the Right is on the verge of abolishing democracy and ushering in an authoritarian regime. None of these narratives is true, but each yields an emotional payout. Traditional liberals who donate to Democratic politicians and left-wing NGOs genuinely fear that President Trump desires to be a strongman and will do anything necessary to seize power. Politicians have always relied on heated rhetoric to solicit votes and donations. But the left-wing terror memeplex is different, in that the party’s “progressive” faction deploys these carefully crafted narratives in part to activate the radical elements within the broader coalition, including, most notably, anti-fascist and transgender activists.
The second element is the radicalized memespace. The prestige media writes the metanarratives, which filter downward through Reddit, Discord, Steam, Twitch, and other web platforms. Because these digital spaces rely on user-generated discussion and lack the editorial guardrails of a traditional publication, individuals can plunge deep into the radicalization process and take the premises of left-wing narratives to their grim conclusions. Democratic politicians shout that Trump is a fascist; users on Reddit and Discord conclude that the proper response to fascism is political assassination. --->READ MORE HERE
