Undocumented for 20 years. Cis, she/her. 145 weeks sober. Unite Ireland. Free Palestine. Abolish ICE. Immigrants deserve rights. Republican, not in the American way. If you have to ask, Google it. My President is better than yours.

This photo will be shown in history books as an example of deep and unabiding cruelty. You can't reform this.
Hands across the aisle and all that bullshit. It just apparently doesn't include immigrants.

Like, woohoo. Good feature. For the few people who are going to be left on this platform because they haven't been banned for being marginalized or for not looking like a rapist in sunglasses.

I'm sure I've missed something, but surely they are things that could have been dealt with before we got something that very few people will use.

- their staff are, on the whole, the most tech-rotted smug millennial wormbrained pieces of shit who make fun of people when they're not banging it to teen porn

- their head of trust and safety suspends and bans people arbitrarily based on his own caprices

- they hand moderate, then lie about it
February 9, 2026 at 9:44 PM
Meanwhile

- they're still banning Palestinians who ask for help surviving genocide

- they still banned a Black man for exposing their CFO as being a transphobe

- they still ban trans people for standing up for themselves

- they suspend immigrants and give us literally no reason why

Wow, drafts.

Meanwhile, they refused to ban an account that is posting memes about kidnapped immigrants in the replies of other immigrants.

Just wondering, since apparently moderation and safety doesn't check their notifications except to kiss someone's ass.

I genuinely have not heard one fucking word about this. What the hell.

Me: Let me call the company about my shots and the self pay window, because there's a weird overlap since I didn't realize I had to pick it up in early December because she never told me she was actually creating the prescription

Also me, realizing the company uses a fake AI chick on the phone:

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old โ€œpolitical prisonerโ€ Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, sheโ€™d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.

By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

Literal warehouses for immigrants where we're going to die, but don't call them concentration camps. That would be impolite.
February 9, 2026 at 7:16 PM
Hey remember that time like 2 weeks ago that an Indivisible chapter tone scolded immigrants and immigrant activists for calling these places concentration camps, saying that calling them that could cause immigrants to lose allies.

lol lmao even
Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.
