with an "uppity butch wife" involved as well. Disgusting double standard regardless.
And non-citizens also have the right to exist in the US without being killed.

Have their pictures stay up there indefinitely, and feel free in the future to add to them any that fall......
Keep them up there until our Democracy returns, and all that is evil in our government is eradicated.....

"Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his Constitutional right of free speech and the right to ”bear arms”. The Trump Regime does not think we have those rights anymore".

The REPUBLICAN CABAL, does not think that the DEMOCRATS have those rights anymore, only their Republican MAGAots....

needed and valuable future. He was just trying to help a woman who was tackled and thrown to the ground. I’m just so sick over this.

Two young and caring people, just murdered in cold blood. FOR WHAT?? Some egos and power trippers.

This has to be the turning point. It looks to be getting some traction.
