SAEN: “During the Q&A, Joslin Leard said her brother Zachary Leard — a gay man — was gunned down in 2023.”

She was emotional as she told McManus SAPD has not done enough to solve his case."

...the City of #SanAntonio imposed its own, sane COVID rules instead o​f his insane ones.

So, it's unsurprising Abbott hasn't contacted any of our city leaders about the #NationalGuard deployment.
