Really well presented testimony from a brave man with one small, devastating story that captures so much of the moment.
George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.
Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

Who is being paid to arrange all these pardons of wealthy criminals? It beggars belief that these people just happened to come to Trump’s attention. More likely someone or a group of people is collecting bribes to push these pardons in front of our senile president.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

The future for Dems is not progressive or moderate. It is not “either or.” It is “and”. It is being a big enough party to produce candidates who will move the majority of voters to support and vote for them….while all the while sharing a commitment to the party’s core values.
