I looked at the indictment last night and noticed it included the names of the grand jurors. I dropped my head into my hands, knowing this was inevitable. I don't understand why the names weren't reacted.

Georgia law is that grand jurors names are public.
Yeah, pretty naive. Or evil. Maybe both?
I didn't know that. I wish they had a process for applying to redact, for cases like this :(

There's all kinds of laws like this that are super old, and really harmful in modern life. Like name changes having to be published in the paper, and home ownership being public information. Sorry trans people, if you want to legally change your name, you have to be out to everyone! And don't even think about buying a house if there's someone you don't want knowing where you live, like an abusive family member or ex!
They're left over from times when information was harder to come by, and they absolutely need to be changed, but our governments are bad at legislating for modern problems
And don’t even think about buying a house
Well that is a problem that is fading away.
🤔 Is it possible for an abuse victim to buy a house through an LLC to avoid that problem? How does that work for real estate businesses?

“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said. "The lack of political leadership on the right to denounce these threats — which serve to inspire real-world political violence— is shameful.”
And there’s also this:
Yesterday — after Trump posted on his social media website that authorities were going "after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!" — Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts online.
Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were “using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur” in posts online.
Classy as ever

Sadly, predictable.
Equally sad and Equally predictable, this (and the ensuing harrassment) will have the approval of the Republican party.
Good old MAGA maggots. They are such a fine bunch of people.
Faster. Go to trial faster.
Give every single doxxed GJ member secret service protection, and make Trump pay for it.
Even easier: just reassign the guys from his detail to protect those people, until there's nobody left to cover his entourage.
Give the people Trump trusts with his life to the people he likely wants to be silenced? Good idea.

When someone quite obviously rejects both the electoral system and the legal system unless they work to his advantage, one must surely get the impression that this person simply has no interest in democracy at all.
I'm starting to get the feeling that this guy might not be the best choice for president.

If those were BLM activists, they'd have a SWAT team breaking down their door within minutes of posting this.
Everyone involved in this case should have 24/7 protection. This is probably gonna get messy
I'm literally running out of horrific descriptions of Trump & his cult.
So... What happens next?
Unfortunately, probably someone getting hurt or killed. To the GQP the political violence is a feature, not a bug. I hope I'm wrong.
their final phase is terrorism. we must resist and crush them
Sadly, it reminds me of something I read in a book about a series of event's when a certain person became reelected in europe in the 30s-40s.
I feel like this should be another charge against Trump. I know he didn't do it, but he was still responsible for this.
Yikes, I hope these people's entire family has some sort of protection. It's normal for them to attempt to kill anyone they don't like.

We now know at least one trumper can read.
This must be so scary for those jurors. Our legal system and democracy are about (continues) to be tested.
Because of course they did...
Well, this comes as no surprise. Jackasses.
