House Democratic leadership said Thursday they’ve been in contact with the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to protect a group of lawmakers after President Trump appeared to suggest that their comments were “punishable by DEATH!” This is a pretty stunning development, and it underscores the gravity of the situation. It’s not every day that members of Congress feel they need protection from a former president, but that’s the reality we’re facing.
Trump’s rhetoric, as many are pointing out, has escalated. He’s moved from just criticizing opponents to something far more dangerous, according to the reactions. To be clear, this isn’t just about political disagreements anymore; it’s about threats, plain and simple.… Continue reading

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor known for his expertise on anti-fascism, faced mounting threats to his life, including death threats and a leaked address, prompting him to attempt to flee the country. He was stopped at the gate and told his reservation had been canceled. Bray’s work, including his book *Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook*, led to calls for his firing from a Turning Point USA chapter, while he maintained that he was not affiliated with Antifa groups. Despite the university’s commitment to a secure environment, Bray and his family have moved to Europe as his classes will be pre-recorded.

Trump warns Venezuela to take back prisoners or face ‘incalculable’ price, and this instantly ignites a sense of unease, doesn’t it? The choice of words, “incalculable price,” is a loaded one, especially coming from a figure known for a loose relationship with facts and figures. It almost feels like a threat cloaked in a veil of ambiguity, leaving the door open for any action, no matter how extreme. It’s a phrase that suggests there are no limits to what could happen if Venezuela doesn’t comply with the demands.
The implications are far-reaching, and the situation is further complicated by the reported background details.… Continue reading
Multiple HBCUs under lockdown after receiving threats amid rising campus security concerns. So, let’s just lay it all out there, shall we? The news that multiple Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were forced into lockdown due to receiving threats is, frankly, infuriating. It’s like a broken record, isn’t it? Every time tensions flare, whenever there’s a politically charged event, or when something happens that certain individuals can twist into a narrative that fits their agenda, HBCUs seem to become targets. This time, the trigger appears to be a white man shooting another white man, a tragic event that should rightly be focused on the individuals involved.… Continue reading
Okay, let’s dive into this whole situation, starting with the crux of the matter: Pritzker’s strong words about Trump and that “deportation meme.” The core issue here is the normalization of something that, quite frankly, shouldn’t be normal at all. The consensus seems to be that this wasn’t just a bad joke; it was a thinly veiled threat, potentially even an act of war, against a major American city. The shock and outrage are palpable.
The feeling is that we’ve reached a point where outrageous behavior is becoming commonplace. The phrase “This is not a joke. This is not normal” really hits home.… Continue reading
Nathalie Rose Jones, arrested in August for allegedly threatening President Trump online, had charges against her refused by a grand jury in Washington D.C., according to her attorney. Judge Jeb Boasberg released Jones from GPS monitoring after she was initially detained, disagreeing with prosecutors who argued she made violent threats. Jones allegedly posted threatening messages online, including a Facebook post and an email, leading to her arrest when she traveled to D.C. for a protest. The U.S. Attorney’s office criticized the grand jury’s decision, suggesting it was politically motivated, and noted difficulties in obtaining indictments in other cases.

Daley allegedly left threatening voicemails justifying Thompson’s killing and expressing a desire for the family member to suffer similarly.

Daley has been released with GPS monitoring while his attorney reviews the allegations.

Iran posts chart of Israeli leaders it plans to kill, and honestly, the whole thing feels less like a credible threat and more like a poorly executed attempt at intimidation. I mean, let’s be real, the chart itself is rife with errors, from misspelled names to incorrect titles. It’s the kind of mistake you’d expect from someone putting together a project with minimal effort, not a state-sponsored assassination list. One can’t help but wonder how seriously anyone is taking this when it appears the creators couldn’t even get the basics right.
Speaking of basic, the execution seems lacking. The chart includes some individuals listed with the same name, duplicated entries.… Continue reading
