Summary
Domestic terrorism is occurring in the USA. Domestic terrorism refers to actions originating inside of a community or country which are taken to threaten or cause bodily harm or death and to spread terror amongst people. The current Trump Administration is, in my personal opinion, engaging in domestic terrorism. We shall overcome. Unite and stand up for our individual and collective wellbeing.
Domestic Terrorism and Wellbeing
Domestic terrorism affects our wellbeing. Why? Because the threats and actions against a community affect the wellbeing of individuals and the wellbeing of the community. Let’s explore how domestic terrorism is manifesting today in the USA.
Domestic Terrorism: What It Is
Believe it or not, there is not a consensus definition of terrorism or domestic terrorism. Let me define domestic terrorism as I see it, after consulting among other resources the United Nations Resolution 1566 from 2004.
Domestic terrorism in the USA constitutes intentional actions which are meant to cause violence in a community, with the goals of causing death or serious bodily harm, in an effort to engender a state of terror in the community, and the actions originate in the domestic setting of our country, the United States of America.
Domestic terrorism is homegrown.
The Trump Administration Is a Domestic Terrorist Organization
In my opinion, the Trump Administration is a Domestic Terrorist Organization. It should be prosecuted as an organized crime outfit and it should face the consequences of its criminal activities.
Look at the definition of terrorism and the concept of domestic terrorism. The actions of the Trump Administration, as in Trump 2.0, meet the criteria for domestic terrorism.
Our federal government is engaging in acts of domestic terrorism against the people of the USA. The goal is to provoke terror in the population and to subdue US. Given the illegality of many of the actions committed and sanctioned by the Trump Administration and its contractors, there need to be continued lawsuits against the Trump Administration. These actions can include lawsuits for violations of International Laws and humanitarian abuses.
In addition to the actions taken by the Trump Administration against residents in the USA, including against its citizens, on USA soil, the Trump Administration has engaged in international terrorism as reflected in the extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and in the Pacific.
Domestic Terrorism: Contractors with the Trump Terrorist Administration
There are several key players who are making a killing by partnering with the Trump Administration Terrorist Organization. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) are the primary federal government agencies implicated in carrying out terrorism by the Trump Administration. The three main private companies responsible for implementing the terrorist actions of the Trump Terrorist Administration are Palantir, GeoGroup, and CoreCivic.
Check out the contracts which Palantir, GeoGroup, and CoreCivic have with the federal government. They are taking our taxes to inflict terror on our country.

Domestic Terrorism and Wellbeing: We Will Overcome
I am confident that Americans will overcome the domestic terrorism being committed by the Trump Administration. We are resilient. We are creative. We are compassionate. We are committed. We are strong.
Our diversity is our strength. We will shoulder the burden and accept the shame and stop the cruelty and the grifting by corporate leadership and by political leadership. We have the economic means and the political numbers to halt the destruction of our democracy, if we really want to save our country.
Take a listen to Marc Elias and Faiz Shakir discussing what it means for US to stop corporate complicity in the destruction of democracy in the USA and how we will stop corporations from enriching themselves at the expense of the People:
Pay Attention: Corporations Are Destroying Democracy
Isn’t it about time we take back our country from the Trump Terrorist Organization?
STOP Domestic terrorism by standing up to Donald J. Trump and his terrorist organization currently in power in DC.
Music for Democracy and Against Terrorism: Our Wellbeing
Our collective wellbeing depends on protecting our democracy. We must protest against the domestic terrorism being inflicted on US by the Trump Administration. Domestic terrorism and wellbeing do not go well together. Let’s stop domestic terrorism in the USA, now.
