@joelcardwell.bsky.social was on a block list called MAGA trolls, when he is a lawyer for Australia. I personally don’t see a way for blusky to fix this.

Earlier this year, the podcast I co-host profiled Michael Tracey and tried to explain why he is... the way that he is. Here's a link to that if you're curious about his background: www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

Michael Tracey claims he took his post down out of principle, and that it wasn't a "retraction." But it should be. He ran with information from a junk website without looking into it. If he worked at a publication with any sort of standards, this unforced error would be a fireable offense.

I don't know why this site listed a name that didn't appear in actual New York court records, but the name has been floating around far-right circles on X. Given the curation of other purported court records on the site (Lindsay Clancy, Clavicular, etc), the site operator may run in those circles.

What Tracey found was on a sketchy site called "ecourtrecords.org" -- not NY's court system, as he claimed. A disclaimer on the site reads: "Not a court, law firm, or certified record service." Its domain was registered just a few weeks ago. And as of this post, the site he cited is offline.
