A brief update for readers following the ongoing investigative series. The next installments of Pattern Recognition, Outdoor Limits Physics, and Silent Arsenal are still underway and will resume shortly.
Today, my focus is on filing the Protective Order, the supplemental Independent Police Review (IPR) complaint, and a harassment letter to the landlord. These filings, along with supporting documentation, address the broader pattern of coordinated harassment as well as environmental exposure (chemical intrusion).
Once submitted, I will share redacted versions of these materials to show how I structured the filings and to illustrate what the procedural process actually looks like. It’s important to understand that victims usually don’t gain access to a victim’s advocate or attorney until after the temporary protective order has been filed. That means preparing and submitting the initial petition without prior legal assistance. I want to make that part of the process transparent so others can better navigate it.
Regardless of the outcome, these filings create an official record: a foundation from which other victims, investigators, and attorneys may use and reference to document patterns of coordinated harassment and chemical exposure going forward. Reaching this stage is significant in itself; it means the record now formally reflects both the misconduct and the system’s response to it. They are now part of the public record, where they can no longer be ignored.
Once these filings are complete, I’ll also be uploading the new FOIA requests, along with a discussion of the responses that have already been received and how subsequent FOIA submissions were refined and resubmitted. This will help others understand how to navigate the process strategically and build a transparent record through public information channels.
We are also approaching the end of the month, which means the human rights lawyer’s trial is concluding. As soon as I know more about when I’ll be meeting with him to discuss my case, I’ll share an update here. I’m genuinely encouraged by this development, and you should be too, if he agrees to take my case, it changes the trajectory of this entire fight.
I’ll also be reaching out to the ACLU to follow up on my request for legal assistance and provide them with the latest filings and supporting documentation. With these updates, we should have a clearer picture soon of what’s happening on both the domestic and international legal fronts.
The investigative series posts will continue as soon as I complete this filing stage.
Sometimes when you’re stumbling in the dark, looking for the light, it can feel harrowing. But if you pause long enough, you start to see shapes in the darkness: small outlines of what was hidden before. That’s what this moment feels like. It’s the partial light that comes after refusing to surrender to fear.
We walk by faith, not by sight and not only in a religious sense. We walk by faith in democracy, in the Constitution, in humanity itself. Faith that we are capable of better, that justice can still function, that we can repair what has been broken. We are not powerless, and we will not submit to authoritarianism or silence.
In solidarity,
Tamara
