This is an incoherent blog post.

1. The concept of "domestic terrorist organization" not a thing under any US law. Further, there exists no such organization in observable reality.

2. "All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations" is … nothing, because that's what federal law enforcement is already charged with.

No, don't diminish what it is.

It is the sitting president of the United States stating that a political ideology that stands against fascism is illegal and directing the executive - the most powerful and only functional branch of the government under the GOP "unitary executive policy" - to take punitive actions against this thought crime.

I don't see any evidence that there is an organization called Antifa in there. Anybody can call themselves Antifa, and anybody can call any other people they don't like Antifa.
