I just looked this up. Why are anti-fascists now looked at as terrorists? Isn't it good to be against fascism? I am a little confused at this whole thing. Could someone explain in layman's terms.

At the risk of sounding glib, but I'm completely serious, the US state is fascist. It's not about good or bad, it's about the state cracking down on its opposition. And it's not just now. Opposing fascism 'too early' in the ww2 period before the US joined the war, say, by supporting the leftists fighting in Spain would get you targeted for repression in the purges of the 50's we call 'the red scare.'
You see clearly.

When the government is openly facist they label anti-facists as terrorists.

JFC, y'all! It wasn't over a zine. It was over moving a zine!
What the fuck is a zine? A magazine?
Yes, zine is short for magazine, but the word carries additional connotations such as handmade or low production, anti-capitalist/fascist, and freely distributed
I've never heard the term zine but since last week I suddenly see it popping up everywhere

A small pamphlet.
When I think of a pamphlet I think of the trifold thing or something similar, a zine would be several pages usually, probably staple bound. Though not as big as a proper magazine. I feel like a small pamphlet would be a postcard, or a one-sheet, or a leaflet, or something.

The other comments give the answer, but if you're interested in the history of them, the Wikipedia article has a good bit of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

What person are we talking about here? Sorry I came into the comments to look for the article and I didn't find anything
After a three-week trial, a jury found eight of nine protesters guilty of “providing material support to terrorists”, among other crimes. For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn. All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.
