On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

George Retes was born in America and served honorably in the Army. But on July 10, 2025, ICE agents engulfed his car in tear gas, pepper-sprayed him in the face, detained him, and placed him on suicide watch.

Retes joined @timmiller.bsky.social of @thebulwark.com to tell this horrific story.
