San Antonio, Texas - 6/28/24- Three children (including an infant) were left unattended in a non-running vehicle in front of a shopping center. Temperatures in San Antonio reached triple digits yesterday.
Thankfully the driver door was unlocked, and this hero, Pati Velazquez, was able to call authorities and remove the children from the hot car.
Video surveillance shows that the mother was inside the store for an hour. She was immediately arrested by SA PD.
NEW: The grandma of 15-year-old Kaylee Gain who was beat against the pavement in Missouri says a statement is imminent and that she is “devastated.”
Grandma Terry Nordstrom Thompson says a statement from the family is coming soon.
“The family will give a statement very soon. That's all I can say right now,” she said to the Daily Mail.
“It unforgiveable what she endured and went through. Our granddaughter is in very critical condition and fighting for her life,” Thompson also said on Facebook.
At this time, Kaylee has still not woken up from the beating.
Nothing in this world could have prepared me for this loss. My baby brother was my best friend.
If any friends of ours would like to make a donation towards his funeral expenses it would be greatly appreciated. 🤍

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
Halsey releases statement in support of Palestine, admits she didn’t speak earlier out of fear:
“A few people have suggested that it's cowardice. And to be completely honest, it is. […] I'm coming here to call it for what it is, admit my regret, and reaffirm my stance regarding the liberation of the Palestinian people.”
