Pam Bondi and this Administration think we've forgotten about the Epstein files. We haven't.
We will continue fighting injustice and corruption at every turn, and we won't back down until ALL the files are released.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.
Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

I drove by this area 30 minutes ago. You see this guy every day, friendly and just a fixture. This is the same intersection ICE snatched people two weeks ago in. It's the heart of Echo Park.
ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

This morning, masked, untrained ICE and CBP agents have once again escalated a situation and shot and killed a person in Minneapolis. This rogue agency is out of control.
ICE and CBP must immediately leave Minnesota. ICE must be dismantled, and Secretary Noem must be impeached as soon as possible.
