JUST IN: An armed police officer told an unarmed 17-year-old:
“I will f*ing kill you.”**
His “crime”? Leaving an anti-ICE protest.
No gun. No threat. No justification. Just state violence, on video. This isn’t policing. It’s terror. Accountability now. #ICE #BlueSky #LawSky #MedSky #PoliSky

The FBI scrubbed Epstein files before the Epstein Transparency Act passed. Survivor statements to the FBI—describing powerful men who went to Epstein’s island, ranch, and homes, where underage girls were raped, abused, or paraded—are all hidden. DOJ says it “uploaded what the FBI sent.”

BREAKING: An FBI agent removed the jail DVR after Epstein’s death — knowing it would wipe all video footage.
So let me get this straight:
• Jail cameras “malfunction”
• Hard drives fail
• DVR is pulled anyway
And we’re supposed to believe this was all just bad luck? 🤔 #BlueSky #MedSky #epstein

New DHS data undercuts the “worst of the worst” claim: less than 14% of ICE arrests in Donald Trump’s first year back involved violent crimes—nearly 40% had no criminal record.
~2% were tied to gangs
<2% to homicide or sexual assault.
So who, exactly, is this crackdown really? #BlueSky #PoliSky
