Yesterday morning, I was visited at my family home by a pair of local cops who had been deputized by the FBI as part of a task force. Apparently, comments I made on this subreddit had been reported to the FBI in some fashion and these guys were here to follow up and ensure I was not a threat and was not going to do anything illegal or dangerous.

Be careful folks. Be wary of what you post, because we are being watched. Things are escalating dramatically, and I have now been caught in it. Frankly, I don’t care personally. Yes, I’m a bit shaken, but otherwise this has only made me more adamant that we need to keep on pushing. I will not let them scare me. But: be careful. They are watching. They know everything you are posting here.

EDIT: For those wondering, no, I unfortunately do not have hard proof, besides the officer’s phone number. The cops knew my reddit handle as well, which was scary. For those who think this is anonymous, it is NOT. I’m frankly a bit concerned that even making this post could put me in more danger. While they claimed it was unrelated, I fear that the fact that I’m both trans and Jewish fed into this. They were investigating comments I had made about whether violence was an appropriate option given everything going on, and a joke I made about stealing the ship the USS Constitution which was, again, a joke.
