I’m a trans man with a sharp eye, a sharp tongue, and a lifetime of lived experience—oilfields, illness, institutional failure. I’m ready to speak, consult, or testify. Who needs the truth?

DMs open.

Paxton’s office has spent years aggressively pursuing election fraud claims. In 2019, he attempted to purge 95,000 voters from the rolls, mostly Latino naturalized U.S. citizens. And since taking office, he has launched dozens of investigations and raids against voters, volunteers and poll workers.

Last week, Bellingcat conducted an audio analysis to uncover more details in a video that showed a convoy of aid workers struck by gunfire in Gaza. Audio forensics can provide crucial details in open source investigations and help to complete the picture. 🧵⬇️ www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/04...
