Daniel Cressy, 23, becomes the first person in Louisiana to be cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy
The treatment uses his own stem cells, edits the gene that causes red blood cells to “sickle,” and puts those corrected cells back into his body.
In 2019, a 22-year-old father-to-be used his body to shield his pregnant girlfriend from gunfire, sacrificing his own life to protect her and her baby that he would never get the chance to hold.
On May 3, 2019, Jose Rodriguez-Castro and his girlfriend Lexi Rivera were sitting at a red light in Milwaukee when a car pulled up alongside them. The driver opened fire with a semiautomatic pistol.
"He just looked at me and covered me," Rivera told reporters. "That's it. Just said 'babe' and threw himself over me."
Jose bore the full force of the gunfire, sustaining multiple direct hits as 21 rounds were fired at the couple from point blank range.
He was found slumped over the wheel with a faint pulse. He passed at the scene. Lexi survived with a minor injury from shattered glass.
The sh*oter was Victor Cintron Jr., Lexi's violent ex-boyfriend who had been charged with repeatedly assaulting and threatening her in the weeks before the attack.
He was tracked down in California by US Marshals and convicted of first-degree intentional hom*cide. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 50 years.

14 YEARS OLD… SENTENCED TO D1E
George Stinney Jr. was 14.
Not 14 in the way we talk about teenagers today. 14 as in still a child. Still living with his parents. Still figuring out the world.
He lived in Alcolu, South Carolina, in 1944. A small town split literally down the middle by railroad tracks. Black families on one side. White families on the other.
On March 23rd of that year, two young girls were riding their bikes through the neighbourhood. Betty June Binnicker was 11. Mary Emma Thames was 8. They stopped to ask George and his sister where they could find some flowers.
That was the last anyone saw them alive.
Their bodies were found in a ditch later that day. Be@ten with something heavy. A railroad spike, they believed.
By nightfall, the police had already decided who did it.
The story of George Stinney
The youngest person ever sentenced to Death. Only 14 years old and was accused of killing 2 white girls. He was sentenced and killed in the electric chair. 70yrs later in 2014, he was proven innocent.
His last words were : “Johnny, I didn’t do it, i didn’t do it,Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do”💔

One month ago today, the Jeffrey Epstein files were legally required to be released to the public in full.
The Department of Justice failed to meet the deadline and continues to withhold over 2 million files.
Hot take.
The current sitting US government are traitors to the American people.
We are over this bullshit game the state has been playing with the Epstein files.
Everyone in office right now needs removed.
Including but especially Trump.
