You can call the Epstein files a hoax.
Or you can redact them.
You cannot do both, Bondi.

Release the FULL unredacted Epstein files.
Survivors deserve the truth. ⚖️

I say again - take this to heart

ANYTHING that can be built can be disassembled

ANYTHING that has been destroyed can be rebuilt

This is the cycle we are in. We build light - they try to bring the dark.

It is a forever bargain for the good of the world that we keep working.

There is no giving up

Ending 287(g) deals between local police and ICE isn’t radical - it’s NECESSARY.

Courts found 4,421+ illegal ICE detentions since Oct 2025.

Due process exists because power gets abused.

Maryland chose the Constitution over chaos.

This is why state & local elections matter.

Wow, this is a really good show of what could potentially be coming to a town near you.
Everyone needs to be very active in protesting these warehouses being sold and fight to stop it.
What really got me on this was it’s on CONTAMINATED LAND!!

They deported & abandoned across the border little baby Juan Nicolás who's just 2-months-old & was unresponsive & hospitalized just this morning along with his 16-month-old sister & parents. The sick infant was only treated for a few hours.

Federal judge ordered the administration to restore a long-standing slavery exhibit that was removed from site where George Washington and John Adams lived as presidents and kept slaves. The judge compared the administration to the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's novel 1984.

Thanks to Trump's trade wars, several major companies will be raising prices this year. This is affecting everything from Levi jeans to McCormick spices. And 54% of small businesses say they plan to raise prices over the next few months as well.

62% of Americans say Trump has “gone too far” in sending militarized ICE agents into communities

Just 32% view ICE favorably.

It’s time for Trump to agree to real reforms that end ICE’s lawless conduct and restore accountability.
