The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has just released a statement regarding Luigi:
Double Strawberry Pancakes (x)
I know a lot of people have already said this, but Luigi is currently considered legally innocent... I was on a jury for a criminal trial a few years ago, and they specifically told us that the only person in the courtroom who is considered legally innocent is the defendant. Luigi is innocent. He is legally innocent at this very moment. He has not been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law (yet), and yet the media and law enforcement and politicians are all acting like he has been found guilty already. There's no way he is going to have a fair trial if he continues to be treated like he has already been proven guilty when he is literally legally innocent!!!
"Luigi's right to a fair trial is being infringed upon because he is being publicly treated as having the presumption of guilt as opposed to the presumption of innocence, which is what he is entitled to." – Karen Friedman Agnifilo

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉
I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨
Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀
At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨
In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿
"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Romeo Montague & Juliet Capulet ROMEO + JULIET│1996
There's one shot in [the film] where the Sex Pistols are on a boat on the Thames and there's like a party on the boat. And the police raid it because they're going crazy. The boat pulls up on the dock side and we wanted to do something that showed them walking away from this scene of mayhem, but they were kind of in their own world. So I said, 'Let's just do a handheld shot.' I walked backwards and it went on and on and on and it went all up this gangplank, and right at the end I thought, 'Oh, it's great. We got the London Town Hall, the City Hall, in the background.' So when they went out of frame we ended up looking down the river. It's just – it was a great shot. I was surprised when we shot it that it actually ended up in the film in its entirety.
