#intimidation

It looks like the Taliban Wing of the Republican Party supports #terrorism and makes #threats:
"Rep. Dan Meuser suggested that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was asking for it when an attacker burned down part of his house after his Passover celebration and that he needs to 'tone it down' with actions against Pres. Donald Trump":

Anybody who gets “in the way” of #Trump’s efforts to deport migrants will be charged “for obstruction, for concealment,” #AlinaHabba, the interim US attorney in #NewJersey, warned.

“I will come after them hard,” she said.

The move is part of a broader effort by Trump to use the #DOJ to punish Democratic state & city officials who refuse to help carry out the admin’s extreme #immigration agenda & to quash so-called #SanctuaryCities.

Israel lies about their deliberate murders of journalists and aid workers. I am sure many countries have, but the government has turned it into an ‘art form’. They are supported by western governments, Britain and Germany being cheerleaders.

Be afraid. There will be a quid pro quo.

When I woke up and read this I thought I was in another dimension and suddenly I was in Russia ;

“The Trump administration-led justice department planned to send armed US marshals to deliver a letter warning a career pardon attorney about testifying to Congress after she says she was fired over a case involving the actor Mel Gibson, her lawyer said in a letter seen by Reuters on Monday.

“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former Department of Justice employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate,” Michael Bromwich, a lawyer representing the fired pardon attorney Liz Oyer, wrote to the justice department.

The marshals were called off on Friday only after Oyer acknowledged having received the letter by email, Bromwich wrote.”

Paul Grimm, who spent 26yrs as a federal judge, said even the threat of impeachment can amount to #intimidation.

"If you try to intimidate judges, if that's your goal, so that they do not do their constitutional duty, then you jeopardize the rule of #law. And w/o the rule of law, every liberty & every right that we cherish as Americans is vulnerable,” said Grimm, who leads the Bolch Judicial Institute at Duke Law School.

Grimm said he worries a lot about posts that dox judges & their children…

Free Mahmoud Free Them All

Members of the Jewish community have taken over Trump Tower in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, chanting, “We want justice! You say how? Bring Mahmoud home now!” They are also drawing parallels between Trump’s ICE and Hitler’s Gestapo, condemning the intimidation tactics used against people.

…2 NY federal judges -- US District Judges Paul Engelmayer & Jeannette Vargas -- are receiving extra security after their rulings blocked staff from the #Musk-driven #DOGE from accessing sensitive #Treasury Dept data…

Another person familiar w/the judicial security environment said several federal judges in the DC area had received pizzas sent anonymously to their homes, which is being interpreted by #law enforcement as a form of #intimidation meant to convey that a target’s address is known.

Kudos to the American Bar Association (@abaesq) for speaking out against the #Trump admin #intimidation of #judges.

"We cannot have a judicial system where the government seeks to remove judges simply because they do not rule as the government desires. Considering the increasing physical threats to judges, these are clearly efforts to intimidate judges and our courts. The courts are a co-equal branch of our government, and they must be treated that way. We call upon the government and our elected officials to cease making these statements. Government officials know they can appeal decisions they do not like. That is the appropriate way to disagree with a decision of a court."

“He got away with it. So he expects, reasonably, that he can do it again.”

#Trump & his allies are using their drive to slash the size of the federal work force to break the bonds of #restraint. To do so, they are deploying a strategy of #intimidation, #punishment & #coercion. They have silenced #watchdog agencies, discharged prosecutors, forced resignations & dismissed government officials whose job it was to maintain #ethical standards.

Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said buffer zones are necessary to ensure safe #access to #health-care centers.

“No #patient should have to encounter #threats, #intimidation, & #attacks while seeking #healthcare — & no #medical provider or health center staff should be threatened because of their work to deliver #abortion care to patients in need….Buffer zones & bubble zones help to create a safer environment for patients, providers, & staff.”

#introduction

I’ve been #muted by some of my followers for talking too much about the danger #Trump is to the world.

We can’t ignore the #corruption, the #intimidation of #allies, the cosy relationship with #WarCriminals & #SexPredators, #Trump saying he is above the law - we need to point out what is wrong with #USPol right now - not ignore it - or the #RWNJ’s will think such behaviour is acceptable.

The world is at a turning point. Make yourself heard.

RE #MarcElias said

"Together, you #Musk and he #Trump are dismantling our government, undermining the rule of law and harming the most vulnerable in our society"

That IS the big #MAGA #Project2025 fact‼️

"I am just a lawyer"

And you win most cases‼️

"...nor do I have millions of adherents..."

Yes you do‼️

But we on Mastodon, to tell the truth, think #harassing and #intimidation ain't cool, we know that's your (Musk) main weapon 🤮
