What in the everloving FUCK?!

The propaganda machine is in full swing.

ON THE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE.
Scrolling through the Major Events Timeline at the bottom of Trump’s attempt to justify his destruction of the East Wing.

"The house beckoned with its towers, invited with its gummed-shut doors. Pirate ships are a tonic. Ancient forts are a boon. But a house, a *haunted* house, on All Hallows' Eve? Eight small hearts beat up an absolute storm of glory and approbation.

– "The Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury, 1972
Turns out that's an AI-generated image, per Nick Barlow.
Every single governor should do this.
NEW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that he'll deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers "on a humanitarian mission to support food banks as the federal government shutdown delays food benefits for millions of California families."
You had me at Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn!
Let's fucking go!
No Kings organizers just announced they are planning a THIRD round of historic marches after Trump melted down over last weekend’s protests.
"Don't believe your lying eyes."

That's what they want us to accept.

Do not accept these lies.
Kristi Noem dismisses a question about "shocking" images of ICE kidnapping and brutalizing people, including children: "Our law enforcement officers are doing everything appropriately and correct."
GLORIOUS.
Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.
THIS RIGHT HERE.
The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.
Make no mistake, this is just the beginning. More and more allies are going to cut ties with America because of shit like this.

And I don't blame them. They cannot trust the US anymore.

The ceasefire agreement for which Trump received an avalanche of praise—including a TIME cover—lasted six days.

Six days.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
REPORT: ISRAEL BREAKS CEASEFIRE

BBC reporting an Israeli tank shell hit a bus carrying the Shaaban family in northern Gaza on October 17, killing 11 people—all from the same family. They were returning home to see what was left. The genocide of Palestinians continues.

Where is the accountability?

5. Telling a woman who is being terrorized and stalked by Scientology every single day that she’ll just have to wait.

What the fuck is wrong with some of you.
I'm hard pressed to make crowd estimates but I want to say we had at least a couple thousand people! And at least eight inflatable animal costumes!

Great news. In response to ICE fascists in unmarked cars refusing to provide ID or warrants while kidnapping people, Cook County chief judge Timothy Evans has signed an order banning ICE fascists from arresting people around local courthouses without a warrant.

Every Judge Should Do This!
He hadn't done a new one for a couple of years, but I suspected he would finally do another soon in tribute to Jane Goodall.
