FREEDOM!!!!

[Ross Ulbricht @RealRossU]

One year ago today, a prison guard banged on my cell door and said: YOU'RE FREE!!

After more than 11 years under a life sentence, I walked out of max security prison with Leaf Erikson, the plant I was growing in my cell.

Leaf and I are so grateful for our second chance at life.

[Ross Ulbricht @RealRossU]

Hey @KamalaHarris,

You called me "the fentanyl dealer" in your new book and attacked President Trump for freeing me after more than *ELEVEN* years in prison.

Yet, I wasn't prosecuted for dealing drugs myself and fentanyl wasn't part of my charges.

The truth has never mattered to you. The goal is just to make me and President Trump look bad at all cost, isn't it?

Don't be a sore loser, Kamala.

While cartel members, child sex traffickers, rapists, get little prison sentence Ross got 2 life terms - outrage

This was a gross over sentencing

This Christmas don’t forget prisoners who were put there by heavily politicized judges and DOJ

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

Ross might not be home today without Charlie Kirk.

At this time a year ago, Charlie was campaigning around the clock. He was instrumental in President Trump's victory. 

He also advocated for Ross, both publicly and privately, over the years, and personally appealed to President Trump for Ross's release until the very end.

Charlie wanted Ross to enjoy the rest of his life in freedom, and we are devastated that Charlie's own life was taken from him.

Our family will forever be indebted to our friend Charlie for all he did for Ross and our country. We will never forget him. Our prayers are with him and his family.

Charlie Kirk's time on earth was cut too short, but the difference he made for us and so many will live on.

- The Ulbricht family

This is huge. When Trump was leaving office in 2020, I advocated for Ross Ulbricht. I tweeted in his defense multiple times. The sentencing of Ross was extreme and he deserves to go free.

@TweeterReynolds @RealRossU Silk Road was based on the libertarian non-aggression principle. It allowed people to voluntarily buy and sell what they chose as long as no third party was harmed.

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

@TweeterReynolds @RealRossU There was NO child porn allowed on Silk Road. Confirmed by the govt at Ross' trial

Guns were only allowed on SR for a brief period of time at the beginning before they were banned. No evidence that actual gun sales occurred

Not part of the charges.

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

@Tennesseine ??? Fentanyl was NOT remotely part of the charges against Ross.

Silk Road was NOT known for fentanyl.

Ross did not did or sell drugs. Consenting individuals did.

He served 11 years in prison. That was enough!

Ten years ago to the day, I was sentenced to die in prison. Instead I gave my first public speech in freedom.

I wore a red tie as an homage to @realDonaldTrump, the man who saved my life.

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

@charise_lee False information regarding Ross Ulbricht.

His forfeiture was SETTLED IN FULL with the government in 2021. It's part of the public record. Ross owed ZERO money when he was pardoned.

Please do some research.

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

- Ross was NEVER tried for any murder attempts. False allegations used to smear him. The only *alleged* victim ever known is a supporter

- Ross was NEVER tried for causing harm or bodily injury

- Thanks to the sale of Ross's art, $800,000 has been donated to charity, including for drug prevention & treatment

- While in prison, Ross helped addicts get clean

I want to take a moment to publicly honor my mom and my wife, Lyn and Caroline, for the herculean effort they put into saving me from a life sentence.

They worked side-by-side, day after day, for years. Despite many setbacks and countless challenges, they never gave up. The amount of work it took to get me to where I am today is beyond what most people can probably imagine. My fellow prisoners often told me how fortunate I was to have a dedicated wife and mom like mine.

Many people helped us along the way and we are deeply grateful to all of them. I would still be locked in a cell behind a prison wall were it not for all the support we received. THANK YOU!

[Ross Ulbricht @RealRossU]

Two weeks ago today, I took my first steps outside prison walls in over a decade.

I was able to liberate Leaf Erikson as well, the little pepper plant that had been clinging to life on the sill of my cell window for the past year or so.

[Ross Ulbricht @RealRossU]

Oops...the first thing I try to do on X and I screw it up! I accidentally deleted my last post about taking over the account:

6.5 years ago my wife created this X account to give me my voice back. All this time, she relayed my messages to you word for word. Starting now, MY fingertips are on the keyboard!

Here we are, one week after my release, our prayers finally answered.

I was honored to be in the Oval Office tonight when @POTUS signed this

We're getting messages from people asking how they can help Ross in his new start. Please don't feel obligated in any way, and we're already so grateful for all the support we've received during Ross's incarceration, but if you'd like to help Ross, visit https://t.co/1mm3Q7Spxc.

[Free_Ross @Free_Ross]

Thanks to @realDonaldTrump's pardon, Ross got to hug his wife, mom, dad & sister outside the walls of prison. The past 36 hours have been a complete whirlwind and we keep pinching ourselves to make sure we're not dreaming.

So much gratitude, love, and hope for what's to come.
Thank you for all your messages! We can't reply to everyone but know it means so much to us. ❤️
