A fine is merely the cost of doing business. We need to be throwing C-suite level people in jail.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

I just reported an Instagram ad, featuring Greg Abbott, for the Texas education freedom accounts, as a scam/fraud. 😂

If I was an entomologist I would be desperately searching uncharted jungles for a new species of bug to name "[Family name] melania". Ideally one that practices traumatic insemination *or* a variety of ichneumon wasp that lays its eggs in paralysed victims which the larvae then feast on.

I will donate to democrats when they shut down the government. Until then, they may as well be part of the regime and our resources are best spent building alternate structures.

Mass illness is the point of concentration camps. It's not that the camps are failing, they are succeeding for their intended purpose.
“Leecia Welch, the chief legal counsel at Children's Rights, recently told @people.com that illness has been an issue in the family detainment center this winter, sharing that when she visited recently to check in on children's conditions, ‘Pretty much everyone we talked to was sick.’”

"You were mean to us, so we had to murder you" is the tactic this rancid, racist canned ham is going with, in case you were wondering if things were going to get better.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

I mean, I know plenty of people have already pointed this out, but it needs to be hammered home that this is how fascism works. It demands you accept lies as truth, even when we’ve all seen who has actually been demanding violence (Trump and his goons).

Maybe this will help you understand why people are pissed. I get that abolish might not be on the table right now, but he asked for NOTHING
“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:
- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions
He doesn’t even *ask* for it.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!
