(CNN)There has been an increase in online extremist content in the past 48 hours, including threats to lawmakers and the President, according to a Department of Homeland Security intelligence memo obtained by CNN.

While there is still no indication of a specific and credible plot, officials fear the content could inspire violence, particularly by lone offenders. Law enforcement and federal authorities in the Washington, DC, region stepped up security efforts this week in anticipation of the first anniversary of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

The DHS intelligence memo warns that potential violence could be directed against political and other government officials, including members of Congress, state and local officials, and high-profile members of political parties.

It was sent from DHS intelligence chief John Cohen to federal, state and local law enforcement on Thursday afternoon, noting the threat of violence could extend beyond the Washington, DC, area.

2. Wow... Who expected that Jan 5th & 6th 2022 would see a rise in violent RWNJ bullshit online???

What a surprise!!! Better write a memo so all the fucking moronic drones in our law enforcement system get a clue about what every other sentient being in the universe could have predicted and understood without prompting...

3. The bots are still active and no doubt contributed to the hits total.

Not that I doubt that many are real people, but bots are designed to inflate numbers and fake head counts, so to speak. It is one way they keep the spin going.
