I will Zelle $1000 to the first person who can show me a verified video of Alex Pretti pulling a gun on ICE. I’ll wait.
It's been a challenging week out in the world for many people. As you head into the weekend, I challenge each of you to start a positive ripple of kindness. Every ripple has a seen and unseen impact far beyond its origin. You can make a difference. Heartitude. Go Give It. youtu.be/rBVx8OsZrjg?...

Our children are watching. Our words have meaning. They crushed an innocent soul. Be aware of what you say. Be kind. Be compassionate. Be empathetic. We can disagree and still maintain our humanity. Jocelynn deserved better. All children deserve better. buff.ly/439rpGO

Guns are already the leading cause of death for teens and children in America, but what could possibly go wrong?!?! This is not a “pro-life” decision and will lead to more deaths.
Hug your children & loved ones a little tighter tonight because Trump is demonstrating once again that he will sacrifice our lives for gun industry profits. On top of the FBI purge, Trump signed an executive order to reverse all lifesaving executive actions signed by President Biden today.
"Those who lose sight of our shared humanity can be convinced to dehumanize others for their own benefit, creating an environment where discrimination, prejudice, and even violence are justified.” — Bruce Petillo, Heartitude Founder www.einpresswire.com/article/7833...

To anyone out there feeling afraid, marginalized, or unseen… You are loved. I stand by you. Your life has value.
Open your eyes. Open your mind. Open your heart. Talk to the person you've been told to be against. Try to understand an experience other than your own. Be the difference in someone feeling seen and loved rather than marginalized. We can do this. We can make a difference.
LIVING LIKE THIS IS A CHOICE. For every politician who continually makes excuses to keep more guns in circulation (+400k), these deaths are on you. Guns = leading cause of death for kids and teens in America. Pathetic. God comfort these kids & families. #Madison #schoolshooting
Remembering Christian tonight at the Gilbert Memorial Park Cemetery & Funeral Home lantern lighting. When Claire got in her car, “Beautiful Boy” was playing. We miss our beautiful boy. Love you, Christian.
Too many lives have been cut short by preventable gun violence in America. Join me and @bradybuzz.bsky.social in taking action to end gun violence.
Nicole Hadley should be 41, Kayce Steger should be 42, and Jessica James should be 44 today. Instead these three students never got the chance to grow older because they were killed in the Heath High School shooting in 1997. The time to #EndGunViolence is NOW.
