I keep seeing people talking about NSPM-7 which directs all federal agencies to basically monitor, disrupt, preemptively arrest leftist activists.

In my mind this has always been a thing. This isn't so much a policy change as voicing out loud what the policy has been. Materially US spying and abusing their citizens is pretty much par for the course.

Is this something I am not taking seriously enough or are the libs whipped up into a frenzy again?

The time to start taking shit seriously was decades ago. Everything they do seems like a silly baby step because we already live at the heart of an empire that at any given time has been involved in multiple mass murders across the globe and in its own backyard. The water has been boiling your entire life, froggies.
