  1. “A woman from Omaha, Nebraska, posted a video on X of a visit from a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agent concerning a post she had made online about White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.”

    “Bonkiewicz, a mother of two from Old Market, Omaha, on Thursday posted on X: *“When Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, I hope it’s televised.“*

    “That message seemingly prompted a visit on Friday, with Bonkiewicz sharing both a photo of her meeting the Secret Service agent and a police officer at her door as well as a two-minute video of their interaction.”

    “The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet. No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now,“ Jamie Bonkiewicz wrote on X on Friday, sub-posting the video in response to her comment on the matter.”

    “The USSS confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday that „it was a special agent with the U.S. Secret Service as well as a local police partner featured in that video during a protective intelligence interview.“

    “You don’t want to perceive any ill-will towards these people,“ the agent says, to which Bonkiewicz responds that she „wants to see her [Leavitt’s] trial,“ later clarifying she expects Trump administration officials to face something like the Nuremburg Trials after they’re out of office.”

    „Do you go to a lot of the – any demonstrations or things like that?“ the agent asks, and when Bonkiewicz queries the reason for his question, he replies, „I’m just curious.“

    „Bonkiewicz says she doesn’t want to answer „any questions like that,“ after which the agent questions her on whether she has weapons in the house or has traveled to „any functions—Democrats, Republicans…any kind of rallies or anything like that?“

  2. Seems like we should all get some church of latter-day Saints material available just in case the treasury department comes a knocking

  3. Props to that woman for her bravery. She’s taking huge risks by getting the word out there when they know her name and where she lives. Fascism thrives when people are too afraid to speak up, so here’s to hoping this inspires enough people to do the same that they can’t go after everyone.

    Seems like security money that could have been spent on a golf trip.

    What a waste.

  5. >*The U.S. Secret Service in an email statement to Newsweek****:*** *“While I cannot speak to the specific nature of the investigation, for us it’s not about sides, it’s about service. Any statement or action, explicit or implied, that can be perceived as a potential threat…*

    Thought crimes. So vague, so broad, as to constitute open license to snoop and threaten.

    First Amendment is going to die almost as fast as the Fourth Amendment under this Administration

    If the got her info that means there was a court order to get it and they likely know everything she’s ever said online (including any deleted things) and everything about her since she was born. That’s terrifying.

  8. Free speech absolutism at its finest.

    Stupid people who believed that covid restrictions were tyranny they’re all silent (and/or supporting) watching all this.

    Meanwhile the ‚free speech absolutist-in-chief‘ over on twitter is posting nothing but lies and racism and lies and more lies, day in and day out… as he causes domestic chaos in America and rakes in as much as he can from taxpayer funds and the treasury.

    The Press Secretary is not a Secret Service protectee so I’d love to know the regulatory authority the used for this investigation.

    pretty telling that they interpret someone „getting what’s coming to them“ as violence and not courtroom justice.

  11. I, too, hope that when Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, it’s televised.

  12. I’ve gotten 2 temporary bans on reddit so far and at least 1 warning. No threats of violence, just some…hopes for the future, we’ll say. I’m sure they’ll be showing up at my door at some point. But I know my rights so they can fuck off.

    „She deserves a long, retirement out of the public eye. What did you think she deserved?“

  14. It is completely horrifying that someone showed up at her house about a tweet. And a tweet that was obviously not threatening. But to his credit, the agent does seem to have an attitude of „I know this is absolutely BS but I am required to be here please just give me the ‚right‘ answers so I can get the F out of here.“ That said he is 100% on the wrong side of history and will be known for contributing to the downfall of Democracy in America as we have known it for 250 years.

  15. So we all tweet the same thing on a selected day in solidarity?! Sometime this week?!

    Warrant? No?!!?! Good…. Now go fff the orange pedo protector and yes I’d watch the trials.

    How did they know that quickly? Is it some sort of AI that pulls any sort of verbiage that could be construed as “threatening?” Theres got to be so much noise out there I don’t see how they could isolate something so innocuous and have someone visit her that quickly. Damn, 24 hour turnaround is impressive, TBH

    I hope the Trump administration are executed by firing squad for treason and it’s televised. I wish I could help with it.

  19. Why is anyone still on X? Just clicking on a link pays Musk and encourages more of the same behaviors. Get off X. Get off FB. Seriously.

    >“When Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, I hope it’s televised.“

    So… the secret service thinks she deserves to be harmed?

    I got a warning from admins of this formerly great website we’re on saying I upvoted something they didn’t like and not to do it again. Not sure what it was. Maybe it was the Black Panthers video telling people their rights?

  22. Come to my house and they are going to be told to fuck off with the door closed in their face. You try to come in after that and it’s not going to be a fun time for you. I don’t give a fuck who you are.

  23. I’m not on X (go to hell, Leon), so I will say it here: When Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, I hope it’s televised. So come find me, you USSS fascists.
