This is as awful as it sounds. The House -- with a few Democrats in favor -- just voted to let Trump regime declare any nonprofit (e.g. university, civil-rights org, news startup, hospital and more) a terrorism supporter. No evidence required, but the penalty for the accusation is loss of nonprofit status. A financial death penalty.
School allows a pro-Palestinian protest? Nonprofit status gone. Watch for Planned Parenthood and ProPublica to be on the chopping block.
