In the Oak Park neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, on November 17, 2025, an ICE goon tased a non-resisting woman and then threw her non-responsive body into his truck like a rag doll.

Every time someone calls the Epstein case a hoax or tries to downplay it, remember that the women you see today were CHILDREN AND TEENS. and they’ve been trying to hold people accountable SINCE THE MID NINETIES. Look at your own kids and think about that.

We could’ve had Kamala Harris a compassionate president working on worthwhile issues but folks voted for the evil orange guy who is more focused on covering up his friendship with Epstein right now. 💔

Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.
It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
