We had 294 trick-or-treaters tonight. Would have had more, but we ran out of candy.

Happy Halloween, y'all!

I love that they swept them in black. I mean, they sweep everyone at this point, but I'm going to take the result as a positive omen for tomorrow night

I think we have to call it out and be witness. We help where we can and fight where we can.

They cannot, and will not, break us.

🎃 Some lessons from Hallowe’en: 👻

Little kids should be able to walk in the streets, even at night, without worrying about cars.

People who are well-off are expected to give out more candy.

Candy is for anyone who asks — no means-testing.

Whatever else we are, we are each other’s neighbors.

We went through 294 tonight.

(We had a bit of leakage to the household from 300.)

I agree. As a Kansas Citian, this was one of the best Halloweens I've ever had.

Craig Calcaterra @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 2h

One of my best Halloweens ever was 2015. I covered Game 4 of the World Series at Citi Field that night. It was late by the time I left the park. Took the 7 train back to my hotel in Manhattan. Both the train and the streets were full of all of the best costumed freaks imaginable.

whether people voted for this or not is kind of irrelevant now, people clearly fucking hate this shit in practice, the admin and the republican party are trying to insist that they have a broad popular mandate for this, and they do not

this is embarrassing for you. it would be profoundly stupid for someone who has been indicted to talk about the indictment in public. any conscious lawyer would advise their client to give this kind of answer.

You know what’s catastrophic? Being sold out by the billionaires in that room.

David Sirota writes: “A group of literal oligarchs bewailing socialism at a gathering inside a kingdom ruled by an actual monarch is a bit too on the nose.”
The embedded post from Bloomberg TV quotes Bill Ackman saying: “‘Having a socialist mayor would be catastrophic,’” referring to his opposition to Zohra Mamdani’s campaign for New York mayor. The image shows a panel of business leaders seated at a lavish conference in Saudi Arabia.

Another illegal US maritime strike—again in the Pacific.

Against a vessel allegedly operated by an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."

Four reported fatalities—dubbed w/o ID or evidence "narco-terrorists."

There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.

Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific.

This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate.

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs."

Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.
