This includes claiming antiestablishment ideologies and literature must be punished because they pose nebulous risks to those with government-approved political views.

Daniel \u201cDes\u201d Sanchez Estrada is set to be tried starting Tuesday on charges of corruptly concealing a document or record and conspiracy to conceal documents. He\u2019s been in custody since July …<\/p>\n
In plain language, Sanchez Estrada is facing up to 20 years behind bars for allegedly moving a box of anarchist zines from his parents\u2019 house to another residence in his hometown of Dallas. His indictment came on the heels of Trump\u2019s signing an executive order to classify<\/a> \u201cAntifa\u201d as a \u201cdomestic terrorist organization\u201d and issuing National Security Presidential Memorandum 7<\/a> (NSPM-7) on Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.

\nTrump has made it clear he wants his new board to replace the United Nations. Twenty-seven countries have said they will participate, but so far none appear to have tossed in the $1 billion that would give them permanent status. …<\/p>\n
… Trump announced that the U.S. will put $10 billion into the Board of Peace, although since Congress is the only body that can legally appropriate money in our system, it\u2019s unclear how he intends to do this.<\/p>\n

Once he arrived, he rambled for an hour and then appeared to fall asleep at points in the meeting as dignitaries spoke.
