The normalization of death threats as standard right wing political behavior has already hollowed out local election workers, now it’s risking educators and our public health corps.
Remind me again why journalists still don’t treat this as an acute, national emergency?
A USPHS officer told me, "if they equipped and trained us like the Navy - gave us a sidearm, body armor, took care of our families, then maybe. But they don't"
Fewer journalists who would also like to receive fewer death threats. Pelosi's husband was attacked and Romney hired personal security yet both seem pretty unmotivated to do anything legislative about it. It's deeply fucked up.
