5. But on April 6, Lake County Attorney James Lapotka dropped the charges, and White was released. The charges were dropped "without prejudice," which means they could be refiled.
6. According to criminal records obtained by popular.info, on April 7 at 1:15 AM, shortly after being released from jail, White requested a "civil escort" to retrieve her children from their father's house.
7. Notably, White's two children are named "Aryan," a four-year-old boy, and "Nation," a two-year-old girl.
The Montana Human Rights Network (MHRN) was told by Flatwood community members that White is a white nationalist.
8. A police office told White that he would not act as a "civil standby" at 1:30 AM
A few minutes later, a woman driving a truck belonging to White's sister arrived at the home of John Holmes, kicked in a door, and took the two children
9. A Missing Endangered Person Advisory was issued for the two children. According to the advisory, White was "known to abuse drugs," and there was a "concern for the children’s wellbeing"
White was charged on April 28 with burglary, parenting interference, and criminal mischief
10. White was released on a $50,000 bond. According to attorney Aaron Rains, who is prosecuting White on the burglary charge, her bond was revoked after White was arrested for theft on April 26. But Rains says White was re-released in short order, again on a $50,000 bond.
11. White is not currently facing any charges related to Mika's death and remains free.
A trial date has not been set for the burglary and related charges.
12. In an interview w/Popular Information, Lapotka said he dropped the charges against White because he needed "more time" to collect evidence. He said the decision to drop charges in these circumstances, at least temporarily, is something "that happens."
13. Lapotka said he was waiting for the results of a search warrant for White's phone, White's toxicology report, and the report of the Montana Highway Patrol, which is in charge of the investigation.
But that's not all...
14. But Lapotka said he is also waiting for the toxicology report for MIKA and a search warrant that has been executed on MIKA's phone.
Asked what kind of evidence he was seeking, Lapotka declined to comment.

1. Laurie Cardoza-Moore has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11
She defended to plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan
Now Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 has appointed her to a board charged with creating the state's social studies standards
This isn't a joke

1. Last week media outlets across the country published headlines claiming @Target will suffer an additional $500 million in loses this year due to "organized retail crime" (ORC)
THOSE HEADLINES ARE OBJECTIVELY FALSE

@Target 2. In an investor call, @Target said it would suffer an additional $500M in losses due to SHRINK
Shrink encompasses ALL missing inventory. It includes inventory mismanagement and employee theft
According to industry data, only 1/3 of shrink is attributable to "external theft"
@Target 3. What percentage of "external theft" is attributable to "organized retail crime."
The National Retail Federation told me it doesn't have an estimate.
@penguinrandom@PENamerica 3. Baggett has challenged books like "When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball," the story of a sprinter who overcame her physical limitations and racial prejudice to become an Olympic champion.

1. The consolidation of corporate power, along with the decline of unions, has weakened the ability of workers to negotiate wages.
In the grocery industry, this could get worse if Kroger, the largest supermarket chain, is permitted to acquire Albertsons, the second-largest
🧵
2. A study by @EconomicPolicy concluded that Kroger's acquisition of Albertsons would "reduce the number of outside employment options available to workers, lowering grocery store workers’ annual wages by a total of $334 million."
3. That works out to about $450 less annually per worker, which is a significant reduction for a workforce already hovering at or below the poverty line.
