## Resource

As the first year of the second Trump administration wraps up, the United States sits at a crossroads both domestically and geopolitically. The assassination of Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk shocked the world and serves to illustrate the epidemic of gun violence that touches every facet of American life. The administration has taken advantage of the moment to strengthen domestic surveillance through national directives, labeling ANTIFA a terrorist organization and “Anti-Christian/American” sentiments as radical left-wing violence. As well as domestic surveillance, the newly named Department of War under secretary Hegseth seeks to overdrive the US military into a “war-fighting” footing as concerns over operations in Venezuela intensify.
