President Trump is calling for me to be hanged.

I emailed you yesterday about a video I put out alongside veterans of the military and former members of the intelligence community. It had a simple message: If you are serving in the military, you have an obligation to refuse illegal orders.

Trump’s friends in the White House didn’t like that. They accused us of insurrection.

At some point, the President heard about it, and he hasn’t stopped posting and reposting about us since — accusing us of sedition, calling for our arrest, calling for us to be hanged.

It is no small thing for the President of the United States to call for your execution. Elon Musk called me a traitor. Trump’s advisor, Roger Stone, called for me to be executed. And now Trump himself has called for me to be hanged.

As someone whose family has faced political violence before, I know you have to take words like this seriously, and that’s why I’m writing to you.

There’s no telling what kind of storm we’re heading into right now. Unfortunately, we need to be prepared for any outcome.

Can you make a donation to help us raise the resources we’re going to need to stand against Trump and the threats coming our way from him and his Administration?
