Photo of victim’s husband and text from article: "I never thought it was a shot, but I realized when my wife took two steps back, she looked like she'd been hit in the head," her husband, Mauricio Velasquez, told WRTV in Spanish. "She fell into my arms, and I saw the blood. It went everywhere," he told the station. They have four children, the youngest 11 months old, according to WRTV.

Quote from article “I don’t want to bring division. I don’t want to bring judgement and hate. I want to bring positivity and change,” Monroe said. “The churches that said yes to a liberal, tattooed lesbian were a MAGA church, a Hispanic church, a Black church, a Catholic church, and an Islamic mosque. That should tell you everything.” She added: “This was to bring us together, not divide us.”

profiles in courage, standing up to big peanut butter
Screenshot of HuffPost article: Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier this month had agreed to exempt humanitarian programs that provide life-saving services, like food, from being impacted by the federal funding freeze, at least initially, according to a signed waiver obtained by The Associated Press. But in this new USAID contract termination letter sent to Mana this week, and obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, USAID argued that its supply contracts with Mana are “not aligned with Agency priorities” and that “continuing this program is not in the national interest.”
