@DeAngelisCorey @faithkuz Sickening! Everyone in these schools and nonprofits who participated in this should be in prison for life. There are States where parent’s rights have been codified.

@KXAN_News So now they’re honoring minstrel shows.

The bill requires DHS to:

- notify Congress within 72 hours of any DHS-caused death or serious injury, regardless of custody status
- place implicated officers on admin leave
- investigate outside the chain of command
- preserve video for 5 years

47 people have died in ICE detention or at hospitals where detained people were transferred since January 2025, according to ICE's own press releases. The Renée Good case shows that deaths caused by federal agents outside formal custody face no equivalent reporting requirement.

Legislation introduced June 3, 2026, by Rep. James R. Walkinshaw with 12 cosponsors. Essential reading for anyone tracking ICE use of force and custody deaths.

An ICE agent shot Renée Good on video in Minneapolis in January 2026. She was not in ICE custody at the moment she was killed, so DHS was never legally required to notify Congress. Rep. Walkinshaw just introduced a bill to close that gap. (thread)

Why would anyone get a verified account when X doesn’t fix problems like this and then still charges for their services?

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

I received a receipt yesterday for the verification. I received the receipt at the email address that X claims is no longer associated with the account. @elonmusk @X @Support 3/5

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

@elonmusk @X @Support And before anyone asks, yes, I am in contact with X support via email. No response as of yet.

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

Can you help @elonmusk @X @Support? Anyone? 5/end

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

I cannot log in to the account to cancel the verification because X is sending 2-factor authentication to an unknown email address. @elonmusk @X @Support 4/5

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

It's a verified account, for which I am paying, even though a search shows that @KDansky does not exist because the userid was changed. @elonmusk @X @Support 2/5

[The Dollhouse with Kara @DollhouseInOz]

Dear @elonmusk @X @Support

I have been locked out of my account @KDansky for nearly two weeks. It was hacked and the userid was changed without my knowledge. 1/5

@RealLuthen Absolutely. No one should have the power to prevent corrupt doctors from mutilating children for profit. ✊️

@StanleyClishem @wokeandwoofing I’m sure wokeandwoofing realized that the spelling of “preCISion” is transphobic (shame on you!) and its use would result in a transgenocide.

@DollhouseInOz @moleatthedoor Amazing. I woke up this morning and men are still not women.

@suzanne_moore I didn’t watch the George Floyd video either. There was something creepy about the way it was discussed. Some people need to watch in order to understand & act as witnesses to what happened, but I don’t need to be one of them.

The Texas Quote of the Day involves Etta Clark, the El Paso brothel owner shown in the photo below. You may remember that, yesterday, I wrote of the fight between Etta and her competitor, Big Alice Abbott, after one of Big Alice's girls, announced that she was quitting and going to work for Etta. It ended with Etta shooting Big Alice in Alice's "public arch." ANYWAY, a couple of years later, in 1888, Etta's brothel burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances. The Texas Quote of the Day is the El Paso Herald article about that fire. The prose is wonderful:

A HOUSE ON SOUTH UTAH STREET DESTROYED

- Narrow escape of the occupants -
- sad fate of the poodles and parrots-
- Was the fire incendiary?-

At 3:30 AM yesterday the cracked fire bell called all within range of its small, still voice to a burning building on South Utah Street. It was the house of ill fame known as Etta Clark's, situated in the midst of that quarter of the city which has been practically surrendered to the demi-monde. The house was a one-story building and burned like a tinder box. It was occupied by Etta Clark and five other females, one being her sister, known by the name of Verdie Love. There were also three or four other temporary occupants.

The fire blazed up fiercely and soon consumed the frail structure. All the inmates were asleep when the fire broke out, and when wakened, they had barely time to escape, most of them losing even their clothing and money. The tender hearted females, however, could have borne the loss of such paltry property as wearing apparel and money, but what sent pangs of anguish to their hearts was the loss of their darling poodles and parrots.

So heartrending was the thought of the destruction of those prized pets that Verdie Love, after having safely escaped, rushed back into the building, which was already enveloped in flame and smoke, and sought to rescue her menagerie. Her efforts were vain, and when she attempted to regain the outer air she found her way blocked by fire. She escaped but not without suffering severely, her feet and back being terribly burned.

The origin of the fire is not definitely known but is believed to have been of incendiary origin. The occupants of the house say that the fire started outside, about one or more doorways at the same time, and that there was a strong odor of kerosene when the flames broke out. Color is added to the incendiary theory by the fact that one or two attempts to burn the house were made a year or so ago. Etta Clark saved her money, jewelry, and birds, but the rest of the inmates lost everything, barely escaping in their robes de nuit. The loss is estimated at $7000."

@CinemaTweets1 I agree. It’s terrible. Very disappointing. So many people in so many industries are terrified of losing their jobs. I don’t even like the product. Plus, the hypocrisy about climate change is too much.
