little Snopes spin on it.. (Thank you for the link!) What's True Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement. She was an active member of revolutionary left-wing movements whose illegal activities included bombing U.S. government buildings and committing armed robberies.

What's Undetermined In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

Man, more and more I get tempted to set up a website called snopeswatch which dissects the mental gymnastics they get up to. Other "fact checking" sites as well.

It makes me sad. I was around when Snopes first got on Usenet and he seemed like a nice enough lad. I don't know whether it's him or he's just fallen in with nefarious influences.

The meaning of words has never been a big concern for these people, I expect less so now that they are in power.

...there's no "single universally-agreed definition?"

I'm sure they can get Mirriam-Webster right on that. :D

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.
