Marco Rubio Sanctions Italy-Based Tech "Collective" Making Tools for Hamas; Also Reveals Portland Antifa Shops There Too

Dude's balls are so big he could play for the WNBA.

EXCLUSIVE: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati -- a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world."
Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective's services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo.
"These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks -- all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law," says the State Department's memo.

A/I Collective has officially been deemed a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The designation bars Americans and U.S. financial institutions from doing business with the group and freezes any assets it has under U.S. jurisdiction. Violators can face civil or criminal penalties.
The memo identifies Portland-based Rose City Antifa, known for its violent rioting and destruction, as one of the U.S. groups that relied on A/I Collective tools and services.

Rose City Antifa is listed in the memo alongside a media organization that the State Department says uses A/I Collective tools to disseminate information to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is proliferating inside the United States, Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and others.
The memo also accuses the militant abortion-rights group "Jane's Revenge" -- which declared "open season" on pro-life organizations and threatened escalating attacks after the leaked Supreme Court draft signaling Roe v. Wade would be overturned -- of using the collective's services.
The State Department memo says the collective provides its services exclusively to left-wing extremists, screening users for ideological alignment before allowing them access to its tools.

11 Marco Rubio Sanctions Italy-Based Tech "Collective" Making Tools for Hamas

"To sanction" looks both ways (like "to table"):

1 give official permission or approval for (an action): only two treatments have been sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration.

2 impose a sanction or penalty on: foreigners in France illegally should be sent home, their employers sanctioned and border controls tightened up.

46 The Trump administration has paused visa appointments for applicants worldwide as the State Department launches a global training initiative at all U.S. embassies and consulates, according to a department spokesperson. Appointments for visa services will be rescheduled to accommodate the training.

The State Department offered no specific details on the training or its timeline. Officials said the initiative aims to help consular officers screen out applicants deemed likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits. It is also intended to ensure evaluation of visa applicants comprehensively and consistently.

"A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

The public charge element of immigration has been law for decades, actually more than a century.

It was reinforced in the 1996 immigration act.

But admin after admin has simply refused to enforce it.

Our problem was never the need for more laws. It has always been for an executive who would actually enforce the laws on the books.

55 Pete Buttigieg beats JD Vance & Marco Rubio by more than any other Democrat in new poll (Jon Ossoff, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I think Ossoff is still the way to go. A progressive from the south who can resonate with both liberal New England voters and more conservative southern voters. He could win in a landslide election if he ran

a Beshear-Ossoff ticket looks very similar to the Clinton-Gore ticket. A popular moderate governor from a southern state, the running mate is a liberal Senator from another southern state? Obviously a pipe-dream, because democratic primary voters will not elect a ticket that doesn't include an african-american or at least an Obama-alumni.

Sadly, it may still be a tough fight. A not-insignificant number of people think Democrats legitimately want to raise prices on things and make their kids gay as core policy positions.

Can we not choose the uninspiring middle of the road candidate for once? Please? Medicare for all who want it is not good enough. Drop the caveats and qualifiers. Give us Medicare for all.

The three were escorted from Secret Service headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Monday and formally designated “do not admit,” meaning they are barred from entering agency facilities, two sources told RealClearPolitics, which first reported on the suspensions. One of those sources said both the FBI and CIA are participating in the inquiry, pointing to a probe with more weight than a routine internal personnel matter.

All three employees are based in the communications office.

Remember the "Democrats are for They/Them, Trump is for You" ads?

It was the most effective ad of the 2024 cycle.

It was also the least pointed that the GOP tried.

They tried others with direct quotes from Democrats about what they wanted to do in terms of things like immigration, police, and children. They weren't effective with voters because people refused to believe that Democrats would be that crazy.

The Biden years destroyed the Democrat party's ability to even begin to argue that it wants closed borders.

There are only two plausible paths to a not-Kamala.

The first is Kamala simply deciding to not run. This is the hope that most white progressives have. That she'll be too embarrassed or tied to tradition to run again despite her constantly signalling since November of 2024 that she was going to run again.

The second is a billionaire who can spend to break media strangleholds on his message and says things that the establishment won't allowed to be said. Things like "open borders was a bad idea, and Biden was a bad president" or "the racialization of our party by Obama was the greatest blunder in modern politics" who then promises "Medicare for All, but only Americans."

I can't imagine anyone who would fit the second.

60.

60 years. Three generations.

Trump is the first president since the passage of the 60s immigration act to actually try to close the border meaningfully, and he's doing it after 60 total years of effective open borders and 4 years of mass importation.

But he didn't fix everything in 3 weeks, so nothing is happening. Gotta vote for the party still advocating for open borders to teach the GOP a lesson. Remember, the people abandoning the GOP in 2006 because of the amnesty effort led to the GOP going hardline immigration right afterward, right?

DSA - Seeded and turfed from the top, goals that elected Democrats secretly 100% share, Democrats pretend to be against them, Democrats promote and elevate them through nefarious tactics. New Party.

Save this and revisit in about 2 years.

201 My point being, Frozen Steaks are a perishable product.

I'm not going to suggest that FedEx or UPS are not without issues. But there is a reason the Post Office doesn't get a lucrative delivery contract for Frozen Steaks.

They do manage to deliver live Chicks (no jokes, pliz) and bait for fishing shops. But it's a close run thing.

You simply have to have people with a sense of urgency and dedication and attention to detail and all that stuff. Not some POS who tries to do as little as possible and is basically unfirable unless they kill somebody, and even then I'm not too sure. Then they go into Management, because they couldn't hack it out on the street. Nice, huh?

236 The USAID money is likely a factor, but there was less discretion on the fraud money for hospice, child care, home health care...and that can be obfuscated from oversight at the state level.

Then Biden adds $47 Billion to the pot while simultaneously removing what little oversight obligation there were. THEN, state politicians fight tooth an nail to keep federal auditors from reviewing the appropriations....while millions, potentially billions are leaving the US via international air travel....A large portion of which likely returns into ;the ActBlue process to distribute as under threshold grass roots donations by unknowing contributors.

Yes, USAID funded some of this stuff...but I think it might have been a drop in the bucket to what I described above.

282 Duck Donuts rules the roost with its famous made-to-order cake donuts, fried fresh and piled high with custom toppings from bacon to Oreo crumbs. Warm, customizable, and proudly quacky, it’s a growing chain born in Duck, North Carolina.
Goose Donuts, by contrast, remains more of a mythical rival—perhaps imagining fluffier yeast rings, honking good glazes, and a slightly more grounded (or waterfowl-proud) vibe. While Duck delivers instant gratification and playful rubber-duck branding, Goose might lean into richer textures and a quieter flock appeal.
In the end, Duck currently owns the real-world pond with over a hundred locations. Goose stays the underdog in imagination. Either way, both sound delicious—just watch for feathers in your frosting.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, TJM. You are not illiterate.

295 Oh, I'm so glad that Edith Wilson took over as the first female Presidend after Woodrow turned into Captain Pike, said every quisling and Commie for nearly a century. Did she ever speak at Bohemian Grove?

296 Remember when Buttigieg won the Iowa caucuses in 2020 and no one gave a shit at the time?

Hilarious.

I don’t think they ever accurately counted the votes, right? Dems are math geniuses…

298 Ducktown girl
She’s been living in her donut world
I bet she’s never had a plain-cake guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for a Ducktown girl
She’s been living in her glaze-and-swirl
As long as anyone with sweet tooth can
And now she’s looking for a sprinkle man
That’s what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her sugar dough
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She’ll see I’m not so tough
Just a little soft in the middle
And all she has to do is call
And I’ll be right there by her side
A rubber-duckin’ ride
Ducktown girl

299 Debbie Dingell is tired of being asked bout al-Sayed. After over 90 years everyone is tired of the Dingell 's. I'm surprised the DSA didn't go after her

To distract the Haitians while they make their getaway.

The caucuses are fake bullshit anyway, more aligned to rural life in the 19th century than the modern world.

Easy to manipulate.

And Buttigieg got it, and no one gave a shit because SC wiped him off the map.

308 I can understand preferring cake donuts and not liking fried ones but, KK has the best fried and iced donuts. I can't even imagine how the Hot Fresh ones could be improved on.

Oh, you fry cake donuts. There's a touch to cooking them all the way through and getting a light crust.
