FBI to Categorize Trans People As "Nihilistic Violent Extremist" Threat Group, Report Says

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly preparing to categorize transgender people as “violent extremists,” a categorization supported by organizations affiliated with Project 2025.

According to a September 18 report by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, two anonymous national security officials said that the Bureau is discussing treating trans subjects as a subset of its new threat category, “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs), which was created earlier this year. The Bureau defines “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”

“They are cynically targeting trans people because the shooter’s lover was trans,” an unnamed senior intelligence official told Klippenstein. “The administration has convinced itself that the Charlie Kirk murder exposes some dark conspiracy.”

Last week, the false claim that there were “transgender” engravings on the bullets that suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly used to shoot Kirk began circulating widely, boosted by anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives like Rep. Nancy Mace and Steven Crowder. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox later confirmed that there was “no indication that the ammunition included transgender references.” On Sunday, Cox told Meet the Press that Robinson was allegedly in a romantic relationship with a roommate who is trans, providing no additional public corroborating data or information of the roommate's gender. The authorities have stipulated the roommate has been cooperating with the investigation and was not aware of the shooting prior to its occurrence.

Despite no evidence linking an alleged trans roommate to Robinson’s motivation for shooting Kirk, right-wingers are nevertheless attempting to use this detail to push an anti-trans agenda. In a petition launched on Thursday, the Heritage Foundation — the far-right think tank behind the derided and controversial Project 2025 — and its spin-off group, the Oversight Project, asked the FBI to designate “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism” (TIVE) as a domestic terrorism threat category.

The group defines “TIVE” as “the belief that violence is justified against people who oppose [the trans community],” as well as the belief that opposing trans rights “itself constitutes a form of violence towards people who identify as [trans or gender nonconforming]... or poses an imminent threat to such persons’ emotional, psychological, or physical safety, including through self-harm or suicide.”

As The Independent noted, if such a category is adopted by the FBI, it could be applied to rhetoric used by activists, writers, and allies speaking out against anti-trans policies and rhetoric.

At least a dozen hoaxes have claimed trans people were responsible for mass shootings and other incidents since 2012.In reality, there is no evidence suggesting significant patterns of violence committed by trans people. In 2024, The Gun Violence Archive’s Executive Director, Mark Bryant, said that out of 5,000 mass shootings tracked by the archive, the number of trans or LGBTQ+ suspects is in “the single digit numbers.”

I have now interviewed over a dozen people about shutting down research projects and software projects. All but two have been deliberate closures (long enough timescale to reflect and correct course while winding down). I would be grateful if people who have been through abrupt closure (little or no warning, very short timescale) would share their experiences. I'm [email protected] and all interviews will be confidential. Thanks in advance - Greg

I don't know enough to write a paper called "Ten Bad Ideas in Online Safety" that explains (briefly, in terms that the general reader will understand) what's wrong with age verification, crypto back doors, and other plausible-but-awful proposals, but I would read it gratefully and share the hell out of it if it existed. (This toot prompted by reading some of PLOS's "quick tips" papers and thinking about the value of anti-tips, i.e., "here are landmines you don't need to step on".)

I have started interviewing people to learn more about how they shut down scientific research projects and/or software projects (both open source and commercial). If you have done this, either deliberately (on your own timeline) or abruptly (looking at you, DOGE) and are willing to talk about your experience, please reach out: I'm [email protected].

So, so tired of cop shows. I want a series about three generations of an activist family. The grandparents were part of the anti-war/civil rights movement in the 60s. One of their kids is a slightly conservative gay corporate lawyer, the other manages a community center, and her kid is a trans college activist who's angry all the time. Throw in friends (and enemies) for all three generations, and start filming.

Archaeologists have discovered Sumerian cuneiform tablets which complain that software quality isn't what it used to be.

>>I have completely foregone most relationships and activities as it is.
Yeah. I talk to people that aren't my parents once a year, maybe. I don't go out except to buy food or take walks. I don't have any friends because they all moved abroad, I work from home and only as much as I need to buy food and pay the bills. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do anyway, unless you're into getting high or drunk alone in your room. I mostly just shitpost here, work out and read books.
I've more or less come to terms with the fact that there would be nothing worth fighting for, and since I'm not a consoooomer there is no need to break my back to make as much money as possible, since I have nothing to spend it on anyway. It is what it is.

Based.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just announced he will sign legislation to ban ICE Agents from wearing masks. This is huge.

BREAKING: Stephen A. Smith just demolished Donald Trump for silencing Jimmy Kimmel. The American people are rising up against Trump. Let’s go.
