Hey, just a word of warning to all my followers, please remember that it is a Class E Felony to wish harm or death upon the President of the United States . Yes, even on social media. People have gotten deported over this in the past.
I wholeheartedly support #notmypresident but unfortunately, this law would still apply. Be careful with those assassination jokes, which do qualify as a federal offense now. Stay informed and make informed decisions.
I would like to remind everyone that a few years back a I tagged a post about shady us military recruitment tactics with “I hate the military” (or something like that) and wound up with someone looking through my selfie tag from a department of defense computer.
be very careful of what you put online.
😨 scary
This is what I was referring to in my earlier post. The NSA showed up at my house due to some shit I said. They questioned me, and when they realized I wasn’t a threat to national security, left me alone. Still, had they wanted to, they could have black bagged my ass and carted me off to a blacksite if they were feeling particularly bored and no one would know.
So like…PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY. Especially if you’re active in protests and documenting shit. Use disposable cameras, and never ever use your cellphone for shit like that.I’ve been meaning to do a post about this.
In addition to it being a felony, you know full well this president is petty enough to go after anyone and everyone.A girl from IDK what fandom got an embarrassing visit from the Secret Service in 2004 after making a jokey post on LiveJournal “praying” for God to smite the President in an embarrassing or scandalous way. Nothing came of it but a stern lecture, but it’s good to know the rules on this depending on dangerous it is for you to come into contact with law enforcement.
For US security purposes, always assume criminal death threats include:
-Jokes, even really obvious jokes about movies, memes, etc.
-Anything that starts “I hope/wish someone…” or “When is someone going to…” or “Someone should really…” These are treated the same as “I am going to…” This applies even to fictional characters, like “I hope Darth Vader…”
-Fantasies/stories about assassination or the aftermath of an assassination.
-Things like “We could really use a [name of famous assassin]” or “Anyone know when the President is going to [location of previous assassination]?”Don’t come into contact with law enforcement if you don’t have to.
Sorry to keep harping on this, but I know there are lots of folks on Tumblr who weren’t adults when this discussion was in the news last time around (and I believe even people as young as 14 have been visited by the Secret Service for comments about harming the President in the past).
Don’t give Drumpf and his lackeys the satisfaction.
Yeahh got visited when I was 13 for saying something about Bush.
Here’s an article about a 15 year old getting investigated for an art project they did- https://www.google.com/amp/www.seattlepi.com/local/amp/Secret-Service-confiscates-anti-Bush-drawings-by-1143383.php?client=safari
Basically people underestimate the amount of reach the Secret Service has when it comes to assassination threats
