We Asked DHS if Federal Agents Wore Horror Masks on Raids. They Responded β€˜Happy Halloween! ~ L.A. TACO β€œThey have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols, who snapped the photo of the ...

Just saw an article that the ICE agents staging at Terminal Island by us in Long Beach have been seen driving around wearing scary Halloween masks just in case you thought it couldn't get worse. lataco.com/federal-immi...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Great numbers in California for Prop 50. Dems are turning OUT and people are fired up. Let’s go LA & OC, YES on 50.

There's a place in my town that does what they call a "sexy bagel" which is your choice of bagel topped with cream cheese, pesto, tomatoes, basil, red onion, and black pepper. I usually add a bit of coarse salt. I don't get it often but it's delicious

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I saw a pharmaceutical commercial the other day that was playing Depeche Mode in the background. Somehow that feels worse than a car commercial.

The Jolly Roger flag

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call β€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Every time he shows back up I'm amused all over again at the nicknames I've forgotten since the last time. 🀣🀣🀣

The only thing I appreciate about him is that every time he pops up again I'm reminded of great nicknames I'd forgotten.

How do you get anything done around the house? I would just spend all day every day petting him and making him happy. So damn cute.

On my husband's first trip to the UK, Bowie and Rickman passed away. On his second, the queen died. We're planning to do some experiments to see if it's just the UK, and if it can be weaponized against bad people.

All of my fellow white people coming off the high of the no kings protests need to seriously look at who's coming to Thanksgiving and who is not welcome, and need to tell them why. The days of "not taking about politics" or "that's just how uncle Bob is" need to end.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?
