Top Democrats just voted to let Trump unilaterally silence the resistance​

​

A bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives is pressing ahead with a terrifying bill that would give the Trump administration unilateral authority to strip the nonprofit status of any organization that criticizes or questions him, including The Intercept. The bill, titled the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, would grant the Treasury secretary power to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be “terrorist supporting.” Once that happens, the group wouldn’t be able to collect donations, pay staff, or get banking services. Trump wouldn’t have to provide evidence or even an explanation. The administration could simply issue a notice, and the organization would be effectively shut down. Believe it or not, 52 House Democrats voted for it. Make no mistake: If this bill is signed into law — and with a Republican trifecta only weeks away, that is a very real possibility — The Intercept and every nonprofit organization in America that dares to stand up to Trump will be in existential danger.

Just did hear that APAC was behind the Act, the thought being it will used to silence the protests
here in the US against their genocide.
