They took down the gofundme. He’s got a bit of an online footprint that’s being actively picked over. Apparently, he got picked up in Pennsylvania, for “being weird”, presumably from staying awake most of the last week. . So far he has not said anything. Whatever manifesto they got him with has not made the rounds, and frankly I’m not overly enthused about getting ahold of it, but yeah., If I have an excess of time and money in the coming seasons . We’ll be hearing from him and helping Mr. Mangione out.

Like I said, extensive online footprint that is being picked over as we speak. I saw a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, but of course it was screenshot. People disappear in a lot of the important ways when they go to prison, but we’ll do what we can.

      Can we stop posting this? Likely fake. It has been circulated as the manifesto, but is roughly 1500 words despite authorities stating the real one is handwritten and 262 words.

      Also if you look at snapshot history, there are only any from today and yesterday.

        It rings true to me and I have not seen it debunked.

        Just because he had something written on his person doesn’t mean he wouldn’t post more elsewhere. He scheduled Youtube videos to come out, too.

      Wow. She had enough money to live in a million dollar house, send her kids to expensive prep schools but that kind of money is nothing in the face of severe medical expenses in the US of A. It’s worth remembering that if you don’t have 10’s of millions or really hundreds of millions of dollars, you’re a bad medical situation away from physical, mental and financial ruin.

      Just feel the need to remind everyone that this is unverified and Ken Klippensten on Bluesky is saying he does think it’s real

      Oh my god, his mother’s story is nearly identical to mine, down to the same tests and meds (steroids don’t work, and now I take gabapentin and tizanidine, along with enough acetaminophen to thoroughly wreck my liver). My neuropathy is secondary to other things, but there’s no hope of relief because care has become too expensive.

      I know too well we’re all just one health incident away from ruin. I was in tech and had a good career, which is gone now – along with my health insurance, since it was tied to my job. Medicare is broken, and I can’t afford the required gap insurance. I’ve become destitute, can’t afford food or copays, and am now staring down homelessness. Of course the stress of it all just makes my health worse.

      I fully understand and empathise with him. It’s unfair and tragic that the system has pushed him to this, all so greedy sociopaths can become richer.

      Holy fuck. Luigi Mangione is a hero. May he live to find a cure for his pain, and may his name inspire us to take action.
