.When Barb McQuade was on on the @nicolesandler show Nicole asked about Trump's threats to judges. Barb said Trump KNOWS his followers will act. What I wanted to know WHY are there so few arrests of the people making threats? I wanted to know more about what's behind Law Enforcement's "Reluctance to Investigate" (Which was a headline from a section in chapter 5 in her book, Attack From Within. ) https://www.youtube.com/live/HsKNqidhLUY?si=6fcvPbnCa8KSltqw&t=1619

Thanks for this @Brandi_Buchman
I just read about a Texas man who was sentenced to 3 & 1/2 years for threatening Arizona election officials & THEIR KIDS!
It is important to tell the stories of arrests and punishment for these crimes NOW.
Threats are NOT protected speech.

QOTD
"There has to be better news coverage that doesn't make Trump the center of attention that but that makes Trump's effects the center of attention.

Don Bacon's wife got threatening phone calls. And that was a moment where I think the press should have said, "What's happening to Don Bacon's wife has happened to every single person that Donald Trump has targeted going back to 2016."

Marcy Wheeler There has to be better news coverage that doesn't make Trump the center of attention that but that makes Trump's effects the center of attention. That makes you know, like, when, when Jim Jordan was running for speaker, right, everyone's wives got threatening phone calls. Nicole Sandler 0:50 That's right. MW 0:51 Right. Don Bacon's wife got threatening phone calls. And that was a moment where I think the press should have said, "What's happening to Don Bacon's wife has happened to every single person that Donald Trump has targeted going back to 2016. NS 1:05 Right. NS 1:06 And the fact that you said it was okay, when it happened to Hillary that you thought it was okay when it happened to Lisa Page, the fact that you thought it was okay, when it happened to Marie Yovanovitch that, that the fact that you think it's okay, when it happens to Hunter Biden? You need to start thinking about all of those seven years of enabling that stuff, because now it's happened your wife. NS 1:29 Right. MW 1:30 And it'll happen to everybody's wife. It will happen to everyone's family, one way or another because Donald Trump doesn't care about any of 'em. Anyone.

I have a lot to say about and his latest appearance on the stage for Dealbook New York Times. I'm trying to think what would be the most insightful first and then:. "How can we use his horribleness to make the world of social media a safer place for people."
Because that is that is what I want.

Are you thinking about On ? Listen to this GREAT podcast from my friend @charliejane & @annaleen

While the civil case against by is being scheduled, recall how poorly law enforcement responded to the threats against her at the time. covered local & federal law enforcement's failure in this Dec 2021 segment.
Threats & intimidation by Trump & his MAGA base don't stop without consequences.
Yes, 19 were indicted in the Georgia case, but Ruby got over 850 threats. 100 of which lawyers said could be prosecuted.

It's good that , Kanye's publicist, was one of the 19 indicted in the case. But what of the 100s of others who threatened
There needs to be consequences for people who threatened & intimidated election workers, or the threats won't stop.

In this December 2021 clip Joy Reid talks about how Trevian Kutti, Kanye's publicist, was one of the 19 indicted in the Georgia RICO case. But what of the 100s of others who threatened Ruby Freeman? She asks Barb McQuade how this happens & why over a year later there had been NO prosecutions for the 100s of people who threatened Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

6/ “You may be held… if you violate conditions of your release”: Judge at

He must not commit a crime while released, judge says, must not communicate with witnesses, influence jurors (I’m really paraphrasing Maddow here),.

He can be held. Please proceed, Judge. Thank you.

    What is specific enough to count?
    What about what he says at a rally?

    Michael Savage Claims He'll Take Up Arms Against The Country @crooksandliars
    #ThreatsOfViolence #ViolentRhetoric https://crooksandliars.com/2023/05/michael-savage-take-up-arms

    This story reminds me of the time back in 2008 I helped an ecumenical group of religious orgs contact his sponsors about his violent rhetoric toward #Muslims.

    Dozens left & cost him & over a million bucks.
    He sued one member #CAIR, & lost.
    The win sent a message:
    RW hosts don't have a right to ad-subsidized speech.
