Uhhh turns out the DC museum shooter was a PSL member at least in 2017. Im kinda anxious about the fallout that'll come from this. Even if it turns out that he wasn't a member in good standing/ he was kicked out of the party, that connection will undoubtedly be used to go after PSL and anyone tangentially related. Kinda anxious...

I don't see how it would reasonably be used against PSL unless there were documented party organizing of the act (unlikely: if the manifesto published by Klippenstein is indeed the shooter's, he seems to have been acting alone and in no way affiliated with any particular party or group).
Of course, they could try to unreasonably go after PSL, but I'm not sure that's much different than what socialist/communist types have been facing in the US for decades. Lest we forget the Black Panther Party got vilified over such "horrible" acts as trying to feed schoolchildren. It has long been a grim tightrope for communists in the US, and going back even more than that, liberation efforts in general, marked by the state using misinformation, harassment, intimidation, infiltration, imprisonment, and assassination.
Those in the capitalist west in general should take the usual precautions with regards to the law and be prepared for the possibility that it will be used against you anyway. It can be understandably scary, but it is a marathon struggle going back a long time, don't forget that.
Just distance yourself as a party honestly. No need to bring unwanted drama.
American fascists are gonna come for PSL eventually I think its probably better to tie the struggle against american fascism to the the struggle against zionist fascism. The alternative is that the fascists get to come up with a pretext for cracking down on PSL and other communists.
