I have to live with that every day.

I believe people can change and should be given a Second Chance. I live my life to give back and to help others.

I respect your thoughts, but have different beliefs about that.

My brother and I went to prison for taking the life of our abuser. I spent 13 1/2 of a 25 year sentence in Alabama. Made parole and have been pardoned.

Gavin Newsom’s Twitter account is up 450% in followers since June and the number of people searching for him in Google is up to 1300%.

If you’ve never been in that situation where you feel like you life is constantly at stake- then you don’t understand their desperation.

I don’t condone murder- but I can understand being pushed to this state. My brother and I were there.

I never said they shouldn’t pay- but it’s time for FREEDOM

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.socialβ€”thank you for your words.

How could they have gotten away? Don’t you think Jose would have found them and harmed them. They would’ve ruined his life!!! He couldn’t have that.

They didn’t kill them for the money. My brother and I had 4 months before we were arrested. We had the same mentality they did- FREEDOM

@msnbc.com y’all want to have a conversation?????

I will have to disagree with you. There are a lot of people who escape their abusers like this. Look at Cyntoia Brown Long, Chrysal Kizer, Sara Kruzan, Jarret Harper, the Garlock Brothers, etc.

They did it to escape the abuse. All trauma responses

How should they have handled it? In 1989, they would be accusing a rich person of sexually abusing them. How would that have turned out? They were fearful for their lives and escaped the abuse. I believe them Wholeheartedly!!!!

Why would you say that? They had been abused for years and committed the murders to escape. Have you experienced what they did????

Before the Senate votes on Trump’s Tax Scam, there will be a β€œvote-a-rama.” This is when senators can propose endless changes that their colleagues then need to vote on.

You probably have some creative ideas for amendments. Submit them now to help keep vote-a-rama going for as long as possible. πŸ‘‡

OMG YES… say that‼️

@tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it.

Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people areβ€”and it’s getting damn late!

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.πŸ‘‡

Pete Hesgeth β€” who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach β€” is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will β€œnever forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

Castor: They told Heidy SΓ‘nchez, β€˜Come in earlyβ€”we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

A Spoken Word that is part of my #TEDx. Take a minute to listen. So many people are walking around with masks on. They need to know that it's safe to take their mask off and to be their authentic self

I always thought that habitual offender laws and three strikes laws emerged in the 1990s as part of the tough-on-crime era. But then I was looking through old state codes and I saw a three strikes law from 1923. Then I found dozens from around this time, and wondered (naively) what was going on.
