    de facto means "in fact" or "as actually practiced" while "de jure' means "what the law says" with the implication that the law is not being followed. I'm not even sure if they're real Latin or just dog Latin that has become an English expression. But both terms are pretty commonly used. I'd honestly never even considered that they were Latin until you mentioned it.

      'de facto' doesn't really add anything to the tweet.

      It's not grammatically incorrect there or gibberish, but it's redundant.

      'ipso facto' is I think what he meant: if they do x, they are ipso facto a monster
