We’re certain that Libs of TikTok receives a lot of threats; she exposes all the right people and radical activists don’t like seeing their own videos reposted by an account that will give them actually exposure. On Monday, she posted a screenshot of someone who claims to have sent her a pipe bomb and requested she kill herself “at her earliest convenience.” We’re pretty sure it’s all talk from some rando with 64 followers, but Glenn Greenwald reminds us that the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, in her hit piece on Libs of TikTok, included a link to her real estate license that contained personal information. After they were called out, the Washington Post quietly scrubbed the link from the story, with a spokesperson explaining to Fox News that they suddenly “deemed it unnecessary” to the story.
Hi @FBI, I’m being threatened with a pipe bomb. Can you please look into this? pic.twitter.com/u9Vu2QT9Yp

Assuming that's a Florida State University music student, you'll likely have more success getting law enforcement in Florida involved. The FBI isn't interested in investigating progressives. Maybe @ChristinaPushaw can forward it to the right agency.

Finding pipe bombs isn't the FBI's strong suit!

Excellent point.
This is what it's like to be a woman on the internet who got doxed by a newspaper owned by the world's richest man: actual death threats and encouragement of suicide.👇
Since liberal outlets only care when this happens to rich, famous national journalists, they'll ignore this: https://t.co/lOzo7CsVBp

Exactly. And I received about another 5 death threats in addition to this since yesterday.

@TaylorLorenz behold the fruits of your labor. If anything happens to LOTT, it's on your hands

I'm guessing @msnbc won't have the owner of @libsoftiktok on for an emotional sit down with Chuck Todd. Just a hunch.

And yet somewhere @TaylorLorenz cries about how she is bullied.
— Hellen Keller’s Reading Glasses (@Pitzification) June 13, 2022
Exactly. She has “severe PTSD” over mean tweets.
