Some bibles put Jesus's words in red and everything else in black. The red letter movement is about emphasizing the words in red over the rest, with some going as far as to ignore the rest.

so like the movement is an extension of that thomas jefferson de-miracled bible or something?

Well, I believe Jefferson made his own edits; not just taking the direct quotations to Jesus Christ. So Jefferson and the red letter group work from different, but overlapping subsets of the scripture.
