is a great artist who's been attacked by Meta. Both his Facebook and Instagram accounts were suddenly deactivated. No warning, no opportunity to appeal. It's blatant

reprouncensored on Instagram: "On March 27, 2026, Instagram and Facebook permanently disabled Stuart Sandfordโs account, an internationally recognized multidiscipโฆ"
On March 27, 2026, Instagram and Facebook permanently disabled Stuart Sandfordโs account, an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist, without explanation or recourse. ๐จ๐Stuart had built an audience of over 20K followers over 10 years, reaching hundreds of thousands of people each month. He shared work across photography, sculpture, painting, and moving image, with exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. His account was a key space to share his work and connect with audiences, including work exploring queer identity.โ ๏ธAccount erasure is extremely dangerous. It leads to the loss of cultural production, disrupts communities, and erodes collective history.๐ This is not an isolated case. In the midst of this wave of queer accounts that RU is reporting on, the censorship of a multidisciplinary artist sets a concerning precedent for freedom of expression and culture.TAKE ACTIONCensorship is systemic, and you could be next:โจ๐ Share this post and tag @Meta and @Instagram to demand transparency and accountabilityโจ๐ Report censorship via @reprouncensored link in bio

Well this is bogus. My friend Stuart is an amazing sculptor. His works often depict nudity, but Meta's stated reason for nuking his accounts is that they committed "fraud or deception." That's a lie! All posts will be deleted, and he's not allowed to appeal.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal governmentโs account of the event.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didnโt strike them. He didnโt brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.
