If my son was murdered and the police watched over him, mocking him, whilst he bled to death I would have agreed to release the footage too. I would do so knowing, hoping, that everyone would be so shocked and disgusted that it would bring about change. I would welcome comments about the state of policing, which is why I would include them in my statement outside of the court, especially from leading political figures throughout the globe. I think we all know why the footage is in the public domain and it’s not to encourage silence and inaction. The family wanted us to see what happened to their dear boy.

Black Americans should be deeply ashamed for racializing this case and demanding Karmelo Anthony’s release. If a White boy had stabbed a Black boy in the heart at a school track meet, there would be nonstop marches in the streets, riots, viral outrage, and endless calls to ‘end racism.’ But when the races are reversed — a Black teen brings a knife to the event, escalates, and fatally stabs an unarmed White teen — suddenly it’s all ‘self-defense’ and excuses. This hypocrisy has to stop. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Justice shouldn’t come with a skin color. No more two-tiered standards based on race.” #JusticeForAustinMetcalf #NoMoreHypocrisy #EqualJustice

If you voted for the farm bill complete with the so-called “save our bacon act “that allows foreign owned factory farms to torture pigs in tiny gestational crates… Expect to be called out and hard.

This is shocking: the House Rules Committee just blocked a vote on stripping the Save Our Bacon Act from the farm bill. The SOB Act, buried deep in the farm bill, would wipe out state bans on pork from crated pigs, condemning millions to a lifetime in gestation crates. We were getting very close to having the votes to pass Rep. Luna’s bipartisan amendment to strip the SOB Act from the bill on the floor of the House. Then pork industry lobbyists got to work. Behind closed doors, they got Rules Committee leadership to stop a vote entirely and protect the SOB Act from the scrutiny it can’t survive. The only option now is to kill the whole rotten farm bill. Please call your representatives at (202) 225-3121 and tell them to vote NO.

UPS: “Your package is in your city, on a truck driven by Mike. It will arrive on your doorstep at 6:27 p.m. today.” FedEx: “Your package is coming. You’ll get it when we get there.” USPS: “What package?” Amazon: “We are already inside your apartment. Check the bathroom.” Facebook: “We know you were thinking about getting a toaster yesterday. Here are 20 ads for toaster ovens.”

Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him. Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty. We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway. Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps. Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine. #USMCHistory #USMC #SemperFidelis

🚨 NIH just quietly gave $718,805 to induce heart failure in puppies... and then CUT OUT THEIR HEARTS while still alive. I am in shock. This is absolutely brutal. On February 23, shortly after @SecKennedy promised to end animal testing, @NIHDirector_Jay directed your taxpayer dollars to inhumanely k*ll hundreds of puppies at University of Utah. The grant was found and exposed by @WhiteCoatWaste, the same organization that partnered with Kennedy to expose the original Fauci experiments on beagles. Secretary Kennedy: MAHA was promised an END to Fauci-era cruelty. Please keep your word and END these programs once and for all! Tag @SecKennedy, tag @NIHDirector_Jay. Use AI. Use p*dophiles. LEAVE THE PUPPIES ALONE.

Tennessee is considering a bill (SB1868/HB2526) that would lock up foster kids indefinitely, even if they haven’t been charged with a crime. You can help kill this bill today. Here's what happens when kids are locked up without a crime: Hillary Transue was a teen in Pennsylvania. She made a MySpace page mocking her high school’s strict vice principal. At the end she wrote, "When you find this I hope you have a sense of humor." He didn’t. Instead of detention or a meeting with parents, Hillary was taken to juvenile court before Judge Mark Ciavarella. Her hearing lasted about 60 seconds. She was handcuffed right there and locked up. Her mother was horrified as Hillary who had never been in serious trouble, was treated like a dangerous criminal. Years later it was revealed Ciavarella was taking millions in kickbacks from private detention centers to lock up thousands of kids in the now-infamous Kids for Cash scandal. Fortunately for Hillary, she had a loving family and "only" spent about a month locked up. SB1868/HB2526 would allow Tennessee to detain foster kids, potentially until they are adults, without a charge even being filed, based on predictions about their behavior. We’re going to protect these kids from ever being put through that. I’ll explain how you can help in this thread.

You can’t make a deal with a regime that lies about its nuclear production, oppresses its people, and spreads terror around the world. Iran can't be trusted.

It doesn't matter if Pretti was a commie. It doesn't matter if he was actively involved in anti-ICE groups. Having bad ideology doesn't mean you "had it coming" if you are recklessly shot by law enforcement. The implication that it does is blind partisanship.

The normie position on immigration is really not that hard to figure out: * Deport immigrants who commit crimes * Fix the unlimited asylum loophole * Don't go around acting like a gestapo, kidnapping people off the streets, violating rights and murdering protestors

After looking at the footage of the Alex Pretti shooting… I’m highly disturbed. What’s even worse is that instead of properly investigating, federal authorities just manufactured a narrative to blindly support the actions of the agents… not good.
