As someone doxxed by Andy Ngo, myself, I understand the drama it can bring.

His latest target, Daryle Lamont Jenkins is the hero of the film SKIN, and an even greater hero in real life: A Black man who, on his own for decades, has targeted and transformed white supremacists.

Now, he needs our help

Donate to Support One People's Project in Crisis, organized by Daryle Jenkins

The past two years have taken a toll on One People's Project, particularly in re… Daryle Jenkins needs your support for Support One People's Project in Crisis

This is devastating. RIP @igd.bsky.social.

IGD: 2015 – 2025

About a year ago, we announced a hiatus on this project. Due to an outpouring of support, we pushed ourselves to continue, and over the last year, we’re proud of the interviews and roundups we’ve been...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

If a writer were to have a manic episode on Bluesky, surely other writers would come to their aid, right?

Wrong. Even if you’re not, and they think you are, they’ll block you and disparagingly quote-post you, instead.

Blue-check narcissists, who’ve never engaged, will show up just to punch down.
