Collect all the evidence you can. The screen shots from social media, the communications from friends detailing where and how they have heard your name mentioned with potentially menacing intent, etc.
Package this evidence with a cover that explains how/why you feel particularly vulnerable, without too many details.
Then, first communicate with 1) Grisham's office; 2) Tim Johnson's (State Police) office, and 3) Jason Bowie's (Dept. of Public Safety) office. Let each of them know you are sharing the same information with all three of them, and that you want comment or information from them on how they will respond to this, before you put together a package for the media. (If you already have a media contact or two you can mention, that might be helpful.)
Also communicate with the staff of whichever of our two Senators you have the best relationship with, explain that you feel threatened and why, and you'd like to know which Federal law enforcement agency you should be communicating with and how, and can they help put you in touch with them? Share the information referenced above if it seems useful.
Do NOT blow this off, duhneece. This is serious shit. Your life may indeed be in danger, possibly imminent danger - but ALSO, this is part of a normalization of violent rhetoric and behavior that has serious and wide-ranging consequences for politics throughout our state as well as nationally. Shine the light on them. Especially if you get blown off.
