Activists visited by the FBI at their homes, racial justice movement leaders subpoenaed, Palestine protesters detained. With chilling new directives like the NSPM-7 has everyone who is left of Mike Pence in the crosshairs of the regime. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein talks about what the memorandum actually says, and who the FBI have begun to threaten.
