    American political commentator Michael Tracey , on Twitterx, doxed the victim of the #Cornell7 and published her name, her address, her phone number, her government id info, and leaked files that could have only come from defense teams.

    Jane Doe has been swatted hour after hour. She’s getting death and rape threats by the minute. Her brothers were held at gunpoint during one of the swats.

    #MichaelTracey should remember he is real fucking easy to find. And swat boys? You’re script kiddies. As the cybertruck of heavy metal James Hetfield would say; sleep with one eye open.

    I am so angry I’m shaking.

    For the folks sliding into my DMs to say "he never published anything" and "there's nothing on his twitter now", I would like to say:

    1. Do not turn Sauron's eye on you, you will be collateral damage.

    2: This screenshot from his own goddamn website.

    3. Stop talking to me, you're wasting oxygen or data bits or something. Go away, you wretched, pathetic little renfields.

    Note on Jane Doe

After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I
published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that
permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

    @somebody I am honestly shocked by how much i want to hurt that man. It’s not my nature to be violent. And im sure its all the repressed trauma and rage finding a target acceptable, but holy mother of whips, i want him in stocks, whipped by every woman whom wants to leave a stripe, i want to throw rotten eggs at him, i want him to be so humiliated and so shamed he never touches pen to paper again.

    I am perceptibly peeved.

    @MissConstrue My grandfather who was a medic in WWII once told me over his glass of scotch when I was little "anybody is capable of anything at any time". I didn't believe him, I couldn't comprehend that. Now, after some decades, I fully understand what it means to be pushed to any end.

    This touches my nerves for sure. I've grown up in a family that suffered from the tauma of war and have developed a kind of hatred for the human race. Sorry.
    People trained by other people to murder others has never sat well with me. Uniforms hide nothing.

    @gaggedmedia_refugee @MissConstrue I'm sorry you feel that hatred. As cynical as I am about the future of the world as we know it, I think we are more than killers, though that is certainly a part of us and many other animals. He was not a killer in his heart but a healer, and he went on to contribute to the beginnings of one of the most important and overlooked fields of medicine. He was a gay man who spent the end of his life after his lavender wife who he was utterly devoted to as a friend died with a "roommate" and a daylily garden, which he'd spent his life making broadcasts about on ham radio.

    He did not love war, and not everyone who is sent to one, even willingly, acts out of hate when there is a greater hate they are compelled by the anger coming out of their love to destroy. I know that's not the nature of any of the wars waged by superpowers today, but there are people in the world who are fighting to expel those superpowers from their land who can't just be reduced to monsters still.

    You don't need to apologize to me. I hope you find some peace about it, because God knows we need that. I think that whoever survives this next gauntlet that is fast approaching might finally have seen enough to pass down all the right lessons in time. I just know I'm not gonna add to the grief we are already feeling, but also, I don't lie that it's going to get really ugly everywhere else really soon. The world is complicit in genocides, and the reciprocal price of that is coming.

    @MissConstrue @somebody

    Many years ago during one of the great famine that strike Africa, a journalist related the story of a man being methodically driven out from a refugee camp.

    He had stolen food from people. They drove them out in the most physically economical way possible because they were all starving, but drive him out they did

    Also, the courts are likely to treat Tracey as a member of the media, which they tend to treat very circumspectly because of the First Amendment. Even something as egregious as this is likely to result in a warning rather than real punishment.

    I don't know how that works with indie journalists nowadays. I know how it worked in the before times; in that was it was very difficult to claim press privilege if you did not in fact, have a press card, ie you were not employed by a press organization.

    I will be honest and say that I have not tracked how that has changed in the era of internet independent media, which is a massive part of our information landscape now.

    My impression is the courts are more permissive now. They won't necessarily let anyone with a phone call themselves a reporter because they're taking video, but someone who has a history of acting like media is likely to be treated as media. There isn't a bright line like a press pass anymore, but Tracey would likely wind up on the "real media" side of whatever vague and fuzzy line a court used instead.

    Put another way, Michael Tracey has enough of a media presence to rate a Wikipedia article. A lot of us knew who you were talking about without having to ask "who's this Michael Tracey guy?" That seems like evidence he's a genuine media figure and not just someone (hypothetically) claiming media privilege to cover their ass.

    I've seen news reports where little local websites, including some run by minors, were treated as bona fide media if they had been at it for long enough to show a pattern of reporting news. Those cases were mostly about local governments trying to shut the sites down because they didn't like the reporting. I don't know how the courts would treat that kind of reporter if they were disclosing information from documents covered by a protective order.

    Ask your favorite web search engine "American political commentator Michael Tracey home address" and you'll find that this doxing jerk was born in 1988 and lives in Jersey City NJ. You know, just in case you'd like to have a word with him.

    Here's hoping they charge law enforcement too. There's no way a swat team "accidentally" engages an address a second time after the first time was obviously a harassment tactic instead of a real swat call unless the swat team is complicit in the harassment.

    @Kiernian Not necessarily. The first two times, it had been routed to look like it was coming from the house. The routing center keeps a record of every call coming in, so it will be just a matter of time before all the calls are traced.
    The last report I read said that an officer has been deployed either to, or outside her house, but all the major news outlets are being very careful not to name jurisdiction.

    If anyone does have an altercation with this guy, remember that anyone who does the following is obviously terrified of being actually confronted: "Tracey subsequently threatened Acosta on social media, calling him a "pussy", and publicly challenged him to a fight outside the hotel where Tracey was staying."

    Astra Taylor and Naomi Klein's new book, End Times Fascism and the fight for a living world, talks about these maggot influencers.

    They're often funded by ugly dark fascist money (like Peter Thiel). They lie, manipulate & misrepresent. They are as outrageous as possible to get traction and hits. But know this, they are ripping the GOP apart. The in-fighting, the drama. It's taking a toll on their side. It could be their undoing.

    Jane deserves better. We all do.
