Twitter, eager to censor any conservative story, has no problem with this.
ShutDownDC, a liberal advocacy group in Washington, D.C., said on Friday that it will offer up to $250 to service industry workers in the district for every sighting of the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.
I’ve written about ShutDownDC before and its entanglement with the entire leftist\liberal establishment.
#ShutdownDC is part of the whole shadowy nexus of anti-Trump and radical environmental groups that has operated alongside AOC’s DSA, unions and assorted lefty groups and establishment organizations. ShutdownDC was linked to the Jane Fonda environmental protests. It’s one of those groups that’s involved in pretty much any significant lefty D.C. protests. So this goes right back to the entire radical activist complex. Will they be held accountable? Not under Biden, obviously.
ShutdownDC had actively plotted to stop the Supreme Court from convening.
The Tuesday night briefing included more than 60 activists and was led by four or five organizers, some of whom concealed their identities. The presentation included a detailed “tactical” plan for blocking access to the Court’s underground parking garage, which is the primary entry and exit point for employees and justices.
Now it’s moved on to personal harassment.
The group is specifically targeting Kavanaugh and fellow Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts.
What they’re saying: “DC Service Industry Workers… If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details!,” ShutDownDC said in a tweet.
“We’ll Venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they’re still there 30 mins after your message.”
Twitter has not responded on if the tweet from ShutDownDC violates any of its terms of service guidelines.
It obviously does, but just as with previous doxxing violations, it won’t take action against lefties. And now that the Musk sham collapsed, there’s no reason to even pretend.
While Twitter can claim that it’s protecting “free speech” (in an entirely one-sided fashion), Venmo is owned by PayPal and its guidelines prohibit illegal activity. I’ve reached out to its corporate media people and will update if there’s any meaningful response.
Meanwhile, it’s another example of Big Tech enabling harassment by its political allies. And in this case this isn’t mere harassment. If judges in any ordinary case were being harassed this way, those responsible would face criminal charges. If these campaigns were targeting Sotomayor, Kagan, etc, they’d be talking to the FBI.
Instead, the double standard is glaringly clear. A double standard backed by governmental and corporate authority is simply tyranny.

This is not peaceful demonstration and protest. It is stalking and persecution. This is not the way our government is supposed to work. These people need to direct their efforts towards passing some kind of law regarding abortion. Joe Biden and the rest of the leaders in the Democratic Party should be getting this point across to people – but Biden and the rest of the Democrats are utter failures when it comes to leadership.
gravenimage says
Exactly, CogitoErgoSum. Protesting any decision is legal–in fact, it is an American right. Stalking and harassment of judges in their personal lives and even at their homes is anything but.
somehistory says
biden is all in favor of the harassment. In the years gone by, when the courts and LE were allowed to do their jobs, laws against harassment were passed when it was found to lead to people being murdered by those doing the harassing..
Anti-stalking laws were written and passed due to people being followed and then killed…because some crazed person couldn’t behave in a normal way.
These organizers and funders of shutdown, along with the protestors who show up to do the shouting and intimidation, as well as the ones who call in a “sighting,” need to be arrested and charged before one of the Justices or one of their family members are murdered…by some ghoul who can’t behave in a lawful way.
garland and crew have already ignored the Law about protesting outside the Court and outside the homes of these people. How far will he…a cohort ghoul….go against the laws he is sworn to uphold?
Wellington says
Seconded. Biden, Garland, Harris, et al. are an utter disgrace and I still assert that all those who ACTUALLY voted for Biden owe the rest of us one giant apology. Biden and his handlers are presently not only ignoring American law and demonizing conservatives, they are in the process of destroying America. If there’s a Hell, they all belong there, traitors, fools and liars all, preferably in Dante’s eighth or ninth circle.
somehistory says
Wellington, even for those who don’t believe in ‘hell’ or punishment such as do Christians, the law of “you reap what you sow,” still applies.
The farmer sows wheat and gets wheat in greater abundance; the same with other crops.
The same Law applies with those doing dastardly deeds the way this awful gang, this outlaw bunch, are doing. What form the reaping? The only thing to say at this point: it will fit what they have sown.
Wellington says
Again, somehistory, I find us in agreement.
somehistory says
🙂 🙂
Westman says
Amen.
If a politician swears to uphold the Constitution and then publicly agrees with lawlessness – what is he or she?

Good exchange, Somehistory and Wellington.
Rarely says
It is very unfortunate that things have become so polarized that partisan politics is the rule of the day in every area even up to the SCOTUS and the enforcement of existing laws. It appears insane and doesn’t bode well for the future. This polarization has gone too far and shows no hint of easing up.
The solution? I have no idea but I am inclined to believe that it’s the job (maybe even THE job) of the POTUS to lower the temperature of the country.
Wellington says
While I don’t blame the Left for this polarization you note entirely, I do blame the Left for this idiocy in the 90% area. Minus the Left and in its place just your standard old-fashion liberalism we would be much better off, about 90% better off. The reason for this is that old-fashion liberalism and your standard conservatism are not totalitarian in make-up. The Left is. And all totalitarian ideologies, Islam for example, make things miserable for everyone in the “freedom department” while sowing seeds of discord and division extensively.
Never trust any totalitarian ideology—Western Leftism, Islam, Nazism, Marxism, mankind’s newest religion, i.e., environmentalism, et al. They all suck and invariably do extensive harm and little to no good.
Kepha says
Absolutely. Totalitarianism is an attempt to have man act as his own god. And man being as God was the original lie of the old deluder Satan.

I would not support this harassment of judges whatever their views and rulings.
Westman says
I fear that persecuting SCOTUS judges is going lead to violence. Even the President of the United States has indicated that the illegal harassment of SCOTUS is acceptable to him. When the disrespect and invitation to law-breaking comes from the highest office, it is an open invitation for violence and anarchy, reducing the US government to the status of continual revolutionary and bananna governments.
This tearing down of America by the Left must stop before there is bloodshed in the streets. It has been tolerated for so long the liberals foolishly don’t believe there will be a flashpoint.
The military is unable to meet its enlistment quotas because liberals have turned government and America into something, in the minds of conservative youth, as not worth supporting. It was always the conservative youth who formed the backbone of the volunteer military. The liberals have never cared since Vietnam. The military can play around with gender diversity on steroids – It won’t make any difference. It might pick up a few more who will be worthless in combat.
The Jan 6 Committee is busy trying to make Jan 6 look like a real insurrection when it was just a mob of guys who wanted to be heard and have an election checked for fraud, but didn’t mean any harm. Considering how liberals were frightened by it and are continuing to divide the US, imagine how long they would last if there was a real revolution. And what side do you think the “volunteer” Army would take if they were ordered by a liberal government to kill 500,000 citizens to stop a revolution?
For the safety of the Republic, the lawlessness, chaos, and the encitements by politicians, who dishonestly swore to uphold the Constitution, must stop.
somehistory says
when threats to a person go on and on, such as the kind where a guy won’t leave a girl, former girlfriend or one he just wanted to be, alone after she asks him to, it often ends up with her murder at his hands. that is where the stalking, harassment laws originated.
I read earlier of the rep jayapal being threatened by someone who lives near her. He’s in jail on a hate crime…not threats…charge, and if he can make bail, he can be back at her house easily enough.
Once threats are made, more follow; just as school and other mass shootings usually happen in clusters. Others want to get in on the action.
If they are not stopped, and soon, there will be someone hurt or killed by these goons.
Kepha says
Speaking as a certified geezer and grandparent, the Democratic Party has been the party of lawlessness, harrassment, disruption, and welf-righteous cancellation of others ever since I was old enough to be aware of things. Seriously, if the GOP ever gets a good enough majority in both House and Senate, I hope to see a lot of people from both the Obama administration and the current maladministration investigated, impeached, removed from office, and, hopefully, disbarred.

Leftist Group Offers Venmo Payments to Harass Supreme Court Justices
………………………..
This is ugly and probably illegal to enable personal harassment. Just disgusting. Does Venmo support this?
somehistory says
Some years ago, a young woman was stalked, harassed and then murdered. Her husband had done the crimes, was arrested and went on trial. then, so did his father go on trial because he had encouraged his son to do the harassing, etc.
Aiding, abetting, accessory before, during and after the fact, as well as conspiracy to commit. An entire range of charges if the doj was not being run by cohorts of the criminals.
somehistory says
the pope weighed in on biden and his baby-killing willingness
“Asked about Biden — a self-professed “devout Catholic” who supports blanket legalization of abortion on the federal level — the pope dismissed the president as incomprehensible.
“A month after conception, the DNA of the fetus is already there and the organs are aligned. There is human life,” the pope said in the Univision interview. “Is it just to eliminate a human life?”
He said biden should examine his conscience.
biden should also weigh his vulnerability to being harassed when the mob decides their use of him is over. and so should garland, pelosi, schumer….and all of the others.
