Pentagon Insider Exposes Antifascist Networks That Helped Convict Violent Extremists
A Pentagon special employee known as Data Republican has published a searchable database of antifascist websites, claiming they engage in doxxing, but several of the targeted sites previously helped unmask violent extremists later convicted by the Justice Department.
A Pentagon special government employee has drawn scrutiny after publishing a searchable online tool that indexes thousands of antifascist websites, which she describes as an elaborate doxxing scheme. The tool, created by Jennica Pounds, who is known online as Data Republican, scrapes content from, a web hosting platform operated by the Italian tech group Autistici/Inventati. The State Department recently designated that group as a terrorist entity.
Pounds announced the tool on X, writing that the militant far-left had spent years hiding in plain sight on the platform. She said she scraped the entire site on her own time and without government funding. The database, hosted at, allows users to search through more than 40,000 articles. Pounds claims she redacted 1,487 names, 483 street addresses, 327 workplaces, 151 phone numbers and 37 license plates from the content she indexed. She also said she found 1,717 quotes containing personally identifiable information, including names and addresses of parents and children of targeted individuals. Raw Story could not independently verify those numbers.
However, several of the antifascist sites and social media accounts targeted by Pounds had previously helped unmask violent extremists, long before the U.S. government took action against the same individuals. One such extremist, Dallas Humber, co-leader of the Terrorgram Collective, is now serving a 30-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and other crimes. Following Humber's arrest, the State Department under former President Joe Biden designated Terrorgram as a specially designated global terrorist entity. That is the same designation now applied to Autistici/Inventati by the Trump State Department.
Pounds told Raw Story that she has no objection to people who accurately report on violent extremists. She added that otherwise she would be a hypocrite to call Andy Ngo, a conservative writer who focuses on antifa and the far left, a good friend. Yet the antifascist sites she flagged have played a role in exposing serious threats. For example, a member of the Goyim Defense League, David Bloyed, was convicted in May 2025 of threatening to kill the top prosecutor in Nashville, Tennessee. The charging document against Bloyed included two screengrabs from his Telegram account, one showing him warning that District Attorney Glenn Funk would be getting the rope and another depicting an individual hanging from a gallows with the notation that the rope list grew by a few more Nashville Jews. Those screengrabs were taken from a thread posted by an X user identified as a contributor to GDL Exposed, an antifascist website flagged by Pounds. A detective testified that he viewed the posts as a threat to lynch the district attorney, and Bloyed is now serving a three-year prison sentence.
A representative of GDL Exposed told Raw Story that the goal of the site is to push back against the neo-Nazi organization by unmasking its activists who travel around the country harassing people. The group is led by Jon Minadeo, whose primary source of income is video chatting with children and rebroadcasting those recordings to thousands of angry neo-Nazis without their knowledge or consent. The antifascist sites targeted by Pounds have also been used in past reporting by Raw Story, including Arelephanteau and Appalachia Research Club.
During a recent episode of the Patriot Source Network podcast, where Pounds appeared as a guest to demonstrate her search tool, a co-host who goes by PatriotDadEV warned that the database could put lives at risk. He said that it is not just the people doing the doxxing on these criminal syndicate websites, but also a bunch of crazy lunatics who then take action. He described the tool as an organized hit list. Another co-host, known as Nom De Plume, expressed astonishment at the detailed information on a Goyim Defense League member, including a PO box, personal email, vehicle make and model, license plate number and aliases. He called it crazy.
The episode highlights a broader debate over the tactics of antifascist groups, which have often been criticized for doxxing but have also provided crucial evidence used in prosecutions of violent extremists. Pounds' tool has amplified that debate by making the content of those sites more accessible, even as she claims to have redacted sensitive information. The State Department's designation of Autistici/Inventati as a terrorist entity has added a new layer of controversy, given that the same designation was previously applied to Terrorgram, a group that the antifascist sites helped expose.
