Leftist queer and ''antifascist'' activist in Indiana has been federally charged over TikTok threats to kill President Trump

…Douglas Thrams, 23, of Goshen, Ind., called for mass political violence against "Nazis" in the government in social media videos. Thrams posted videos on TikTok, making explicit threats, including bombing government buildings and suggesting Trump "needs to be assassinated."

"This time don’t ... miss,� Thrams said in one video.

He is currently booked in the St. Joseph County jail.

TikTok is a popular app for leftist extremists to make threats and radicalizing content.

The president has extended access to TikTok on U.S. app stores for an additional 75 days. The Chinese app is being forced to divest from Chinese ownership in a bi-partisan law passed last year. Like other apps, TikTok tracks one's geo-loca tions, contacts and keyboard strokes. The Chinese government can access that information uninhibited, making it a national security risk for family members of the military and politicians who use TikTok. ByteDance, TikTok's owner, chose to shut down rather than sell when it took itself offline in the U.S. for a day.

He looks like he'll enjoy his time in pass around prison
