Michael Mann, a prominent climate scientist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, sparked controversy on May 23, 2025, by posting on the Bluesky social media platform: “If Trump doesn’t comply, we’re in second amendment territory.” The statement was made in response to a report on a federal judge’s ruling that blocked President Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, appearing to suggest people take up arms to overthrow or assassinate the America First leader.
The May 22 injunction froze the administration’s plan to eliminate the department, which included terminating around 1,300 employees. Mann’s post—interpreted by many as a call for violence—drew immediate backlash across social media platforms.
The post was spotlighted by Libs of TikTok, which tagged the FBI and University of Pennsylvania, writing: “Hi “FBI, this climate scientist and professor at @Penn appears to be calling to kill Trump and Trump officials.
”The controversy comes on the heels of two assassination attempts on President Trump in 2024. The first occurred on July 13 during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at Trump, grazing his ear and killing a supporter. The second attempt took place in September at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course, with pro-Ukraine activist Ryan Routh caught lying in wait with a firearm and seriously injuring a child during his attempted getaway.
In response to the second incident, Trump said, “The suspected gunman believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at.”Mann’s invocation of the Second Amendment in the context of killing or overthrowing Trump echoes a recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, who was accused of inciting violence by posting “8647” on Instagram. “86” is hospitality and mob parlance for removing or murdering someone, while “47” refers to Trump as the 47th President....SNIP
Pull Michael Mann’s passport, remove any weapons from his home, and take him to have a long chat with the Secret Service.

I think their will be a 3rd attempt on Trump with the FBI/DOJ thru willfully neglect letting it happen. And the govt. Wonders why it’s not trusted😠
A weather man ?
Wow. I had no idea of the levels of evil of this POS....

If I were him, I’d plead the Fifth.
Sounds like the national socialists are setting the stage.
After all, the greater glory of Michael Mann is at stake.
He just confirmed that he has not changed.
Threats of violence have never been found to be protected by the 1st Amendment.
Secret Service had seething contempt for JFK, and willfully left him exposed.
As per SS agent at the time, Abraham Bolden.
HE NEEDS A VISIT FROM THE SECRET SERVICE — FOLLOWED BY A ONE WAY TRIP TO LEAVENWORTH.
I know little about Mann, but he appears to me to be just another self-promoting researcher who has mastered the art of getting grant money and media coverage. There are way too many in the current ‘scientific community’ who fit that description. Universities love them, because they bring in money. The media love them because the media fawns over anyone who has achieved a level of fame (they seldom go any deeper than that - unless it’s someone who espouses a few they don’t like).
Any scientist who is truly committed to a principled career pursuing scientific truth would not be hateful if their research were questioned. They would welcome the opportunity to either prove the legitimacy of their findings, or to set the record straight about their own data. For a true scientist, it’s about truth, not fame or stature. Unfortunately, we live in a society in which fame and stature are the primary motivators.
If anything happens to our President, this is the first bastard we all should be going after. And use the Second Amendment.
Hockey stick Mann is the filth who sued Mark Steyn.
Plus his tighty-whities are all in a twist as he recently found out he has to cough up over 1/2 million to the people he was suing in court (which lasted years).
He probably thinks he is being clever, using “our” values against us. Everything they say is manipulation, mostly of each other.
So, when is this climate Nazi Mann going to get an anal cavity search in federal prison?
