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."
haha right?!!?
But on the latter part... how are they calling people walking through the capitol terrorist if theres no "single universally-agreed definition?" :-O
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.
Something like that would be awesome. Maybe even highlight trending/current stories from left,right, and center(if there are any left) outlets. My thought with that is it allows people to see the spin from all angles. Remove the spin and breakdown the facts!

The meaning of words has never been a big concern for these people, I expect less so now that they are in power.
ANY POWER THAT THEY MAY CURRENTLY PERCEIVE IS TRANSIENT. JUST WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Vocabulary is RaCisT!!!! Sincerely, Critical Race Theory
I'm sure they can get Mirriam-Webster right on that. :D
“Terrorism is just an idea” — Snopes probably
Love it! lol
It depends on what your definition of "is" is.
