Somebody sent local police a message claiming Erin Reed was being held hostage.

Fortunately it was a failed attempt, as she had anticipated it and warned the local department beforehand.

    the fact that generally speaking you can sort of sick the most violent local state military force in the area onto randos at will is literally insane.

        there's apparently a wave of swattings going around. people are using AI generated voices to do it now too. ( stream ) ( article )

    Looks like it happened again. The people behind these SWATing attempts should walk off a cliff or into heavy traffic.
    Between what has been happening to her in the state house and mounting things like this, Zooey very much feels like she'll be remembered as a civil rights figure from this era. Maybe I'm just tired from moving heavy shit all day, but like... those pictures of her working from the bench outside because they won't let her into the chamber have that vibe imo
