Threats Rise Against Judges Overseeing Trump Policy Cases, Fueling Safety Concerns

Federal judges are worried that online threats against those who oversee high-profile cases challenging Trump administration policies may lead to real-world violence.

President Trump’s angry call on Tuesday for the impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against his administration on deportation flights has set off a string of near-instant social media taunts and threats, including images of judges being marched off in handcuffs.

    Obviously the question is how can we support the judges who are being THREATENED by our fascist executive branch.

      Realistically speaking, we can’t “support” them in the sense of making them safe from those threats. Not unless we’re recruiting people to volunteer to be their bodyguards, anyway.

      Sadly, the most practical way to counter this would be to threaten them for not doing their jobs, but it would take a lot for such threats to counterbalance the ones from the MAGAs and, of course, we would be targeted by the regime for persecution for making them instead of protected from it.
