Holdout Lindsay Clancy Juror Claims Death Threats From ‘Lunatic Mob’

The lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial, Michael P. Desronvil, says he has faced death threats, doxxing, and harassment from a “lunatic mob” after refusing to join the other jurors in a not-guilty-by-insanity verdict. A fundraiser to support him has raised over $330,000, with organizers insisting 100% of proceeds go to Desronvil to cover necessities as he speaks out about his decision amid backlash and a mistrial after seven days of deliberations. Clancy’s case centers on the killing of her three children, with her defense blaming postpartum psychosis; NBC Boston previously highlighted unrelated allegations about Desronvil’s personal history that sparked questions about his juror selection.

Mamdani’s pied-a-terre tax list triggers privacy concerns in NYC

New York City Mayor Mamdani’s administration published a public database listing the names and addresses of property owners who could be subject to the state’s new pied-a-terre tax — a move critics call doxxing and say misaligns with the policy’s targets, as the list includes many non-qualifying properties. City Hall says publication is required by law to identify potentially taxed residences, but the scope appears far broader than expected: about 960,000 residences listed versus an intended 31,000. Revenue projections vary—from roughly $340–$380 million per year (Comptroller) up to $500 million per year (city projection). The list includes celebrities and prominent figures, prompting backlash from lawmakers and business groups who warn it could harm the luxury market and public safety perceptions.

ICE doorstep warnings ignite free-speech lawsuit over online critics

A federal lawsuit argues that DHS/ICE has been using “warning notices,” doxxing accusations, and even in-person visits to chill speech by online critics of immigration policy, contending such actions amount to government retaliation against First Amendment-protected commentary. The Verge reports that ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility has opened more than 100 investigations into doxing and alleged threats, while DHS defends its actions as necessary to protect agents. Civil-liberties groups, including FIRE and the EFF, say the approach blurs criticism with threats and could deter lawful dissent, noting DHS’s routine requests to tech platforms for user information as part of broader crackdown on critics. The piece also cites incidents like a Syracuse polling-place warning and the broader pattern of conflating criticism with threats, raising concerns about civil liberties amid security concerns.

xAI Seeks Real Names in Grok Deepfake Lawsuit, Threatening Plaintiffs’ Anonymity

The case, evolving from a Jane Doe filing to four pseudonymous plaintiffs, highlights ongoing concerns about deepfake abuse and the broader regulatory scrutiny facing Grok and SpaceX-backed xAI.
