Two journalists at the independent news outlet iStories have been receiving threats, including personal information showing the perpetrators’ intimate knowledge of their comings and goings. Back in early March 2023, someone calling himself “Yevgeny P.” using the email address [email protected] sent the following message through the outlet’s feedback portal: “Your little fuckers on streets [redacted] and [redacted] better not sleep too tight!

Harlan Crow's firm lobbied for the rollback while he secretly plied Justice Thomas with gifts.
Anyone see a problem here?
