Of course we can’t end tonight without a tribute to our favorite father of Halloween. He played many roles, enthralled us with his performances… but it was one single song that enchanted us with spooky cheer, every year. REST IN PEACE TIM CURRY.

One of the best days of our entire time as Mega64 was the day we spent at Dollywood when we were on tour. We had laughs, ate warm cinnamon bread, and listened to her music as we rode through the Smoky Mountains. Dolly took care of us that day. She took care of everyone. RIP

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

TRUMP TODAY: There was an election in Texas? What? TRUMP YESTERDAY:

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. Your reaction? TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where? Q: In Texas TRUMP: I'm not involved. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Badthefirst reposted

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Badthefirst reposted

Every video I’ve seen directly contradicts the DHS narrative. They say he approached the officers armed and ready to “massacre law enforcement.” In reality, he was recording ICE then after they shoved a woman, he got in between them. They then surrounded him and killed him.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

They will happily come to your state. To your street. Cause chaos. Murder you. And then call you a terrorist. This is the Trump regime. A murderous regime that hates the American people.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

So tired of seeing that last part everywhere. You guys realize what Gerrymandering is right; you realize that Texas is a voter suppressed state? There are more registered Democrats in Texas than almost all of the other states (Short of California IIRC). You are overgeneralizing. See below image:

So, Anyway…@tru3blu3.bsky.social

Seems like whoever was running against him missed a whole lotta dirt; either that or the people of Texas are just that stupid.

Stop throwing your allies under the bus and assuming the whole state has exactly one view based on who was elected. This is like assuming everyone in Texas is a cowboy. It's extremely fucking stupid.

Trump complains about domestic violence arrests hurting his new “there is no crime in DC now” stats. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.
