Judge Esther Salas also spoke at the event, choking back tears as she reflected on the 5-year anniversary of her son Daniel’s murder by a man who had appeared before her in court. She described the pain of hearing how Daniel’s name has been “weaponized” to intimidate other judges.
Judge Salas called on “political leaders from the top down” to “stop fanning these flames.” “Stop demonizing us, stop villainizing us, because what they're doing when they do that irresponsible rhetoric is they are inviting people to do us harm,” she said.
SCOTUS too. The high Court has belittled district courts in its shadow docket reliefs it provided to Donald's regime. youtu.be/Pq1fSsJJzc4
Judge Salas should work at the new york times. Bothsiderism to disguise what's actually happening. "Political leaders from the top down" is categorically misleading
GTFOOH, shithead.
Sweet fuck, sort yourself out, what the hell?

There's only one problem with the outrage. It lets them know the idea to harm you and others stochastically by egging on any inflamed follower to kill you or your family is working. These acts are no accident or mere Republican stupidity. It's a deliberate plan. Now what?
The cruelty of bullies never abates just because you don’t react
It's about the development of an overarching specific strategy first, then use that strategy to formulate a plan to eliminate your enemies before they kill you. MA's/Ph.D.'s in Military Strategy from the War Colleges should be being hired so fast that it's difficult to find any who need a job.
“The facts are that we have political leaders with large social platforms—political leaders with power, right?—calling us ‘deranged’ and ‘idiots,’” Judge Salas said. “That is the inflammatory rhetoric that I think caused the judges that are on here today to come forward.”

Bone chilling. Thank you for speaking up for justice. How difficult with this corrupt mob in the White House.

Until these officials have the courage to call out Trump BY NAME then I'm not holding my breath. There is one person behind the inflammatory rhetoric. It's him, stop pulling punches on the Turd.
Remembering the waning days of the 2024 race when Repubs trolled Dems with calls to ToNE dOwN tHe RhEToRiC. When Repubs lied that Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and that it put their lives in danger(!). And of course the old 8647 scandal. Repubs are truly a violent, domestic terrorist cult.
Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism or communism. Our advantage is that we learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.
We have ONE political leader doing it, the rest are following and getting greased by crypto to do it, ask them
And the SCOTUS is complicit.
Thank you, Anna.
They are mentally deranged, maga to the core, emboldened by trump. "I love the uneducated"
Yes! Thank you Ms. Bower. Chilling! I know this well. I've known many instances in far flung places before. It is not an easy culture (lawlessness) to come back from. We have to stop it before it is so far gone that all faith is lost in what keeps our democracy safe and justice within reach.
💯
Thank you for this compelling account of this appalling pattern.
They should make a formal appeal to Roberts, he literally has thrown them all under the bus, @judgeluttig.bsky.social has been furious with him over that! "UNFORGIVABLE"!
@judgeluttig.bsky.social posted this a few days ago, calling out Roberts. substack.com/inbox/post/1... Where Is the Supreme Court of the United States?
I know, that was where I'd heard that, Thanks for adding here! I didn't have time to go find it when i replied...Such a great episode, and the piece he wrote ... wow. Love @judgeluttig.bsky.social ❣️
It seems pretty obvious to me that these threats is why SCOTUS is rolling over.
With the psychopath-in-charge and his ever-growing brainwashed team implementing their Project 2025 agenda: ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, it’s hard to imagine how this is able to end without a coup d’état.
Before DT, most of the people making these threats didn’t even know a single judge’s name, unless it was Judge Judy🤬
Meanwhile Chief Justice John Roberts...
This is MAGA. If people can blame any random activist on the internet on the Democratic party, then MAGA has to own the freaks that send death threats to judges for upholding the law against Trump's administration.
They want us to cower to give up, to stop fighting against their evil so they can be more evil. We are not going to do that. The republican party is not a political party anymore. They are just a cult of people stealing the future. They have no true loyalty to country. We do. America will win.
Maybe the Judges should be asking the Supreme Court Justices, especially Chief Justice John Roberts, what they will do to stop the threats and intimidation.
Do you think they are unaware? While John Roberts has spoken out, it has been mealy mouthed. And he continues to vote as Trump would wish. Chief Justice Roberts Urges Political Leaders to Tone Down Rhetoric - The New York Times share.google/9yjcejkE4bmz...
Oh, they are aware alright.
None of this will stop no matter how you explain or plead your case of safety until Trump is gone. It is a fact. Trump's thrill in life is getting even with people he dislikes. Trump is a man with no morals, no values, no principles. He has surrounded himself with the same kind of people.
this will only embolden them
So start finding these assholes in contempt and throwing them in the brig. Without food and water like they're holding every brown person they come across. Quit whining and take action.
When the Supreme Court undercuts its own judges, striking down their authority in a case where they refused to even opine on the merits, handing a victory to Trump...it has lost its way.
Well they aren't going to stop, so fucking so something about it. The lack of consequences is why they keep doing it, so write up some fucking arrest warrants or whatever you need to so that you can start putting these idiots in jail.
"Politicial leaders" Democrats dont incite violence against judges. Thats Republicans.
Attention, Pamela Jo Bondi.
Bondi will do nothing.
Yes she will. She’ll make it worse.
💔😭💔 That's so horrible!
💔💔💔
The cruelty...
Thank you for posting. It’s SO crucial. I had the privilege of also hearing Judge Salas speak of this. We must protect the bravest / most principled / most vulnerable among us!
Tragic
