An Anarchist’s Conviction Offers a Grim Foreshadowing of Trump’s War on the ‘Left’
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
**Summary:**Casey Goonan, a Bay Area native with a doctorate in African-American Studies, was sentenced to nearly twenty years in prison for setting a police SUV and a planter on fire, attempting to bomb a federal building, and expressing support for Hamas and anarchist views. The judge labeled Goonan a domestic terrorist and recommended an ultra-restrictive prison unit typically reserved for extremists. The case highlights a shift in government approach to domestic terrorism, with federal law enforcement now focusing on monitoring anti-fascists, critics of ICE, and those challenging traditional American values. Goonan's identities as an anarchist publisher and a transgender individual are now being scrutinized, raising concerns about potential targeting in prison due to their gender identity and health struggles.
