All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine. I will not participate in this carnage. When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

Before Daniel Perry murdered a veteran in 2020, he told a friend he “might go to Dallas to shoot looters.” A year before, he wrote, “to bad we can’t get paid for hunting Muslims.” @GovAbbott ’s alliance with white nationalists is putting dangerous people on our streets.

It was a premeditated murder and Abbott just gave him free rein to get a gun back into his hands. Vile.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has pardoned Daniel Perry, the man who wrote “I might have to kill a few people on my way to work” and then drove into a Black Lives Matter protest and shot and killed a protester because he felt “threatened.”

BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has granted a full pardon to Daniel Perry, convicted in the death of a Black Lives Matter protester, less than an hour after receiving a recommendation. The pardon frees him from prison and restores his right to own a gun.
