Twitter finally suspends 'Ruth Sent Us' after group posted home addresses of Supreme Court justices



A pro-abortion rights group that encouraged far-left activists to protest outside the homes of several U.S. Supreme Court justices has been suspended on Twitter.

The group, Ruth Sent Us, published the home addresses of the six Republican-appointed Supreme court justices in May after a leaked draft majority opinion indicated the court would soon overturn its landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

"Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights," the group's website declared at the time. "We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics."

Since then, leftist groups have conducted numerous protests targeting the homes of Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

Ruth Sent Us has organized and encouraged the protests, posting the daily schedules of justices and even the addresses of schools attended by Barrett's and Kavanaugh's children.

"If you’re in the DC metro area, join us. Our protests at Barrett’s home moved the needle to this coverage," Ruth Sent Us said in a June tweet that has since been deleted.

"Falls Church is a People of Praise stronghold. She sends her seven kids to a People of Praise school that she sat on the Board of Directors for. She attends church DAILY," the tweet said.

The group's activities appeared to clearly violate Twitter rules against posting "private information" on its platform.

"You may not publish or post other people's private information (such as home phone number and address) without their express authorization and permission. We also prohibit threatening to expose private information or incentivizing others to do so," the rules state.

On Thursday, the account owned by Ruth Sent Us was finally suspended.

Ruth Sent Us had also been temporarily banned on TikTok in May but has since had its account reinstated, Fox News reports.

Anything Else?

Leftist outrage over the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which returned the abortion issue to the states, has spawned violent threats against the court's justices and pro-life groups nationwide.

A terrorist group called Jane's Revenge has claimed credit for crimes of firebombing, vandalism, and arson targeting crisis pregnancy centers and a congressional office.

In June, a man was indicted after he went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home with the intention to kill him for voting to overturn Roe.

Conservatives have criticized Twitter for inconsistent enforcement of its policies against speech that purportedly incites violence. Former President Donald Trump was permanently banned from the platform for claiming that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate, which Twitter said posed a risk of "further incitement of violence" after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

But claims that crisis pregnancy centers are "fake clinics" that harm women, which arguably incite crimes against those groups, abound on Twitter.

Abortion activists send 'special message' to Brett Kavanaugh's wife and children, post picture outside their school



Ruth Sent Us, the far-left group that publicized the addresses of conservative-leaning Supreme Court justices, sent the family of Justice Brett Kavanaugh a "special message" on Wednesday.

The message was delivered on the same day an armed man, Nicholas John Roske, was arrested near Kavanaugh's home. The man told authorities he wanted to kill Justice Kavanaugh.

What did Ruth Sent Us do?

After announcing more protests outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, and Kavanaugh, Ruth Sent Us posted a picture of a billboard outside of the school where Kavanaugh's daughters attend.

"A special message for Ashley Kavanaugh and your daughters — this billboard was on your school grounds. We feel for you," the far-left org said.

The group added that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican lawmakers "aren't worried for your safety."

The claim is patently false. In fact, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill that would extend police protection the immediate family members of Supreme Court justices.

The message and picture generated even more outrage against Ruth Sent Us. The group was accused of "targeting" Kavanaugh's family.

House Democrats are blocking the Senate bill passed last month that would extend security protection to Kavanaugh's immediate family. Their refusal to pass the bill takes on new significance if pro-abortion activists begin to direct their ire at families of Supreme Court justices.

Anything else?

In a separate tweet, Ruth Sent Us denied sending the armed man that police arrested.

"We offer our thoughts & prayers to Brett & Ashley Kavanaugh after a California man arrived by taxi near their home, armed with a gun & knife, then called the police on himself to confess his murderous rage against the abusive alcoholic 'Justice'. We didn’t send him," the group said.

However, Ruth Sent Us infamously posted the addresses of conservative-leaning justices on the internet after a leaked opinion draft indicated the Supreme Court had indicated to overturn abortion precedents.

And while it is not clear if Roske found Kavanaugh's address through Ruth Sent Us, Roske told investigators he did, in fact, find it online.

"Roske stated he began thinking about how to give his life a purpose and decided that he would kill the Supreme Court Justice after finding the Justice's Montgomery County address on the Internet. Roske further indicated that he had purchased the Glock pistol and other items for the purpose of breaking into the Justice's residence and killing the Justice as well as himself," the arrest affidavit says.

Leftist group that doxxed Kavanaugh plans another protest at his home after would-be assassin arrested there



Ruth Sent Us, the radical left-wing group that posted the home addresses of six Supreme Court justices online last month, is planning to stage a protest outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home Wednesday evening, hours after an armed man was arrested there for allegedly threatening to kill Kavanaugh.

Early Wednesday morning, police took an armed suspect into custody outside Kavanaugh's home in Montgomery County, Maryland. The suspect had allegedly called emergency dispatchers and said he intended to murder the justice and then kill himself.

FBI Special Agent Ian Montijo filed an affidavit in court that said the suspect, Nicholas John Roske of California, told police he was upset with the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that indicated the court would overturn its abortion precedents and believed Kavanaugh would also vote to loosen gun control laws after the recent mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Roske allegedly found Kavanaugh's address online, bought a Glock pistol, and traveled to Maryland intending to kill him. He has been charged with attempted murder of a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

The private home addresses of six Supreme Court justices, including Kavanaugh's, were posted online by Ruth Sent Us in May after a draft majority opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked to Politico. The draft document, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, explained the court's reasoning for upholding Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban and overturning its precedent in Roe v. Wade.

Though there is not yet an official decision by the court, pro-abortion rights activists seethed and began possibly illegal demonstrations against the impending decision outside the private homes of the Republican-appointed justices.

When the Washington Post broke the news Wednesday that an armed suspect making threats against Kavanaugh's life was arrested outside his home, Ruth Sent Us downplayed the incident on Twitter and denied reports that the suspect was carrying a gun and a knife.

"We are committed to non-violence. Fundamentalists will talk non-stop about how our peaceful protests inspired this, rather than the daily mass-murders in America," the group tweeted. "Oh, what was this 'weapon' the 'California man' had? If it was a gun or even a knife, police would say so."

\u201cWe are committed to non-violence. \n\nFundamentalists will talk non-stop about how our peaceful protests inspired this, rather than the daily mass-murders in America. \ud83d\ude0f\n\nOh, what was this \u201cweapon\u201d the \u201cCalifornia man\u201d had? If it was a gun or even a knife, police would say so. \ud83d\ude0f\u201d

The FBI affidavit confirmed that the suspect, Roske, had a tactical knife and a Glock 17 pistol with ammunition in his possession when he was taken into custody. He was also carrying pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crow bar, pistol light, duct tape, hiking boots with padding on the outside of the soles, among other items, the FBI said.

When a Twitter user responded to Ruth Sent Us and said the group's tweet "will not age well," the left-wing activists asserted "Yes, it will," and said, "We're protesting peacefully at his home again tonight."

\u201c@mprussart Yes, it will. We\u2019re protesting peacefully at his home again tonight.\u201d
— Ruth Sent Us \ud83e\udea7 (@Ruth Sent Us \ud83e\udea7) 1654700210

Subsequent tweets by Ruth Sent Us announced that the group intends to participate in protests outside of Kavanaugh's and Chief Justice John Roberts' homes in Chevy Chase, Md. Wednesday night.

"We offer our thoughts & prayers to Brett & Ashley Kavanaugh after a California man arrived by taxi near their home, armed with a gun & knife, then called the police on himself to confess his murderous rage against the abusive alcoholic 'Justice'," the group mockingly tweeted. "We didn't send him."

According to another leftist activist group, Downright Impolite, the demonstrations will begin at 7 p.m. ET.

\u201cTonight we peacefully (different than quietly \ud83e\udd23) rise together to say, \u201cNot today, Fascists!\u201d You in?!\n\n@ShutDown_DC @OurRightsDC @RuthSentUs @riseup4abortion #SCOTUSisCompromised #pridemonth2022 #Protest #Women #LGBT #WearOrange\u201d

Republican lawmakers responded to the alleged threat against Kavanaugh by calling on the Democratic House majority to pass a bill providing additional security measures for Supreme Court justices.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) railed against House Democrats on the Senate floor Wednesday for blocking the bill — which passed unanimously in the Senate.

"House Democrats need to stop their multi-week blockade against the Supreme Court security bill and pass it before the sun sets today," he said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned in May that political violence directed at the court and its justices is "likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court's official ruling" on abortion.

Catholic churches receive 'credible threats' that pro-choice protesters will disrupt Mother's Day Mass



A historic Catholic church in Washington, D.C. warned parishioners on Friday that there have been "credible threats" of protesters planning to disrupt church services this weekend. The warning came after a pro-choice abortion activist group called on Americans to disrupt church services this weekend.

In an email sent to the church body, St. Peter's Church on Capitol Hill said that church leaders have been alerted that "there is a credible threat of our Masses being disrupted this weekend by protesters."

"All are welcome to join us for Mass at St. Peter's. Even though the disruption of the celebration of the Holy Mass is a grave offense to every person of faith, we will strive to continue worship of God and exercise fraternal charity in any case," the email said.

In the event that Mass is disrupted, the church has instructed the congregation to avoid engaging with protesters, to remain inside the building if possible, and to "take a prayerful position and simply pray."

"The police departments are aware of these threats and will have increased patrolling and presence around the church," the email said.

Pro-choice abortion activists have called for protests at American Catholic churches on Mother's Day Weekend after Politico reported Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade. A leaked draft court majority opinion for the case concerning Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban suggests the court will overturn its precedent on abortion rights, returning the issue to state legislatures and the people's elected representatives.

Protesters on both sides of the abortion debate gathered at the Supreme Court building this week, prompting authorities to erect non-scalable fencing outside of the building.

A pro-choice group called Ruth Sent Us on Thursday posted what it claims are the home addresses of the six Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices, calling for an organized "walk-by protest" outside their homes next week. The group has also called for protests inside Catholic churches during Mass on Mother's Day.

"Whether you’re a 'Catholic for Choice', ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe. Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sun May 8," Ruth Sent Us tweeted earlier this week.

After this tweet was sent, a pastor at St. Joe's Catholic Church on Capitol Hill reportedly requested that police "be ready to intervene" in case Mass is disrupted, according to the Daily Wire's Mary Margaret Olohan.

"MPD is aware of potential disruptions associated with First Amendment demonstrations, MPD will be monitoring, assessing and planning accordingly with our local and federal partners," a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department said. "We have increased available resources, including the activation of our Civil Disturbance Units, in preparation for these activities."

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
