Today, Obama and Clinton got packages that were confirmed to be bombs.

CNN's NY building has been evacuated because of a suspicious package. The White House also received a suspicious package.

Edit: CNBC and Reuters are now reporting the White House did not get a suspicious package.
More info on the device sent to Time Warner Center where CNN has a bureau:

Right now the talk is that the packages might have been sent by a right wing person given the recipients of the bombs are mostly those extremely hated by the far right.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz also got a suspicious package.

Today, Obama and Clinton got packages that were confirmed to be bombs.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/nyregion/clinton-obama-explosive-device.html
Two explosive devices were found in mail sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Secret Service said Wednesday.
The devices were similar to one found on Monday at the home of the billionaire philanthropist George Soros, and federal authorities were investigating whether they were linked, two law enforcement officials said.
In a statement, the Secret Service said it “has intercepted two suspicious packages addressed to Secret Service protectees,” who were identified as Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

A suspicious package addressed to the White House was intercepted on Wednesday, according to CNN.
Earlier in the day, the Secret Service said that "potential explosive devices" were addressed to former President Barack Obama and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Time Warner building in New York City on Wednesday was evacuated following a report of suspicious package.
The White House and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment from CNBC regarding the package addressed to the White House.
Edit: CNBC and Reuters are now reporting the White House did not get a suspicious package.

The device sent to Time Warner Center was constructed with a pipe and wires, according to an NYPD source. Law enforcement authorities are treating the device as a real explosive.
The device was discovered in the building's mailroom, the source said.
The building's evacuation included offices for WarnerMedia and other Turner-owned properties like TNT, as well as a shopping mall and a Whole Foods grocery store located in the basement level
Right now the talk is that the packages might have been sent by a right wing person given the recipients of the bombs are mostly those extremely hated by the far right.

Yeah, that's the odd one out for sure. Every other target is basically what you'd except someone who watched Fox News to go after.

Goddamn cowards.
guess this is why they all had cops and xray machines out today
Well, that's their excuse...
But any school stepping up security over this (that isn't linked to the known targets) is just saying the people in charge can't be trusted with security decisions imo.

good people on both sides
The senile old Gray Lady won't take it seriously until a bomb gets mailed there, and then they'll spend a week up their own asses about how terrible it is that they, Serious Journalists, are being threatened, without analyzing the greater reason why it's happening. And then they will print some stupid right-wing op-eds about how it's actually the liberals' fault.
Anyway, I've been waiting for these right wing escalations to happen. How long until people starting shooting at liberal politicians, setting fire to their houses, mailing bombs? I'm actually surprised it took this long considering how rapidly the rhetoric has been amped up.
Secret Service's Twitter account as well:
Gabby Giffords was shot almost nine years ago so...-8.75 years?
Depending on where the school is, ehhhh. Taking an abundance of caution is sometimes acceptable.
Overly critical parents that would scream about how the school doesnt care about their kids safety if they didn't increase security
It come out of a need to perform security theater to address the deep-etched fear in most of White America (and also in pretty much everyone else solidly middle class or above) that any time something bad happens, the entire fabric of their comfortable suburban lives is about to disintegrate and they're next. It makes no actual sense if you subject it to real scrutiny but it's a very real and powerful thing.
Basically, it's so the principal / staff in general don't have to spend the next day-to-week fielding calls about why they didn't DO SOMETHING.
They have a very longstanding hate boner for the Clintons as shown by their election coverage

Predictable I guess but for fucks sake
This is in NYC hardly middle america
Small minded people will tiny fragments of power will look for any excuse to wield it. It's like the sheriff of the tiny georgia shithole town where I grew up; after 9/11 he believed that the country music festival in town that attracted a few thousand people (and occasionally a local politician might show up) would be a target for terrorists with suitcase nukes and that's why he had to put in all these invasive and useless security measures. He literally gave a speech to my high school class about terrorists with suitcase nukes coming to blow us up, as if there weren't a billion other places in the world that would be better targets than a middle of nowhere shithole of no significance.

The only actual 'false flag operations' I've seen recently have been by the right wing. Turns out, people who obsess about these things all the time are the ones that do them. It's like projection or something.
And yet they'll still get the same calls!
Copycats and spurious reports. Credible bomb threats often lead to a spike in uncredible ones.
(To be clear, he's evacuated, and I hadn't headed over there yet)

He's Jewish and contributes to political causes.
It's because he's Jewish

Soros is Jewish, so they use him as a dog whistle when they want to blame everything on The Jews

Probably because he advocates for things they don't like, such as open societies, women's rights and so on he's Jewish.

Besides being Jewish, he has a large grantmaking charity group called the Open Society Foundations. Conservatives inevitably created conspiracy theories based on that.
