Watch at least the first 45 seconds or up to just after the first minute (up to the title drop, if you’d like).

I did have a good night, thanks! Now I’m gearing up for YouTube to remove and add movies at this change in the month (much compulsive sorting of playlists to keep me occupied for a couple of days). And your pumpkin uses are as it should be.😀🎃👍

Hoping you all had the most eggcellent Halloweens possible and are blessed with equally wonderful ventilation and filtration for the remainder of the year!

Hope you all had a happy Halloween (and have plenty of legitimate PPE/😷s to carry you through the winter season—so you don’t have to resort to using pumpkins 😉)!

Please #boost / #repost, because this First Amendment rights violation is so stunning it needs to be known about everywhere (and I’d suggest avoiding Perry County, TN, and all things Perry County, TN-related).

$7M to several Ohio food banks feels like providing a bandage suitable for addressing a paper cut on a finger to stem the blood flow from an amputated limb—woefully insufficient (and yet so typical of a state government focused on lining its pockets at the expense of its population: First Energy 👀).

And do SNAP users know where food banks near them are?

Are the food banks within short walking distance or on bus routes?

Most food banks can’t cater to those with food allergies—with SNAP they could choose what was safe but with random food bank offerings will more suffer allergen exposures?

So Ohio is giving $7M to food banks… are they going to help the stores impacted by lost business?

Are they supplying the extra personnel at the food banks to distribute to more people?

Many area food banks are only open 1-4 times a month or by appointment only (unlike stores).

⬆️ And how will food banks “pick up the slack when they are already struggling to cope with high demands, especially amid reports of grocery store prices increasing. ‘They're supposed to help with emergencies, they're not supposed to constantly step up when the federal government refuses to act’”

⬆️“Smaller convenience stores, which make up the majority of grocery shops that accept SNAP credits, are also likely to feel the pinch, as Plata-Nino notes: ‘They operate on such a small margin that if 50% of your client base doesn't show up for the week, it's going to hit their own margin rates.’”

Experts Issue Grave Warning as SNAP Benefits Set to Run Out Food banks are unlikely to be able to meet the demand amid the government shutdown, experts tell TIME.

For Weld Food Bank (CO), serving about 1,700 people daily, the possibility of SNAP delays is daunting...
“For every meal that a food bank provides, SNAP provides 9. We don’t have the capacity to bear that burden because we can barely do the 1 meal now,” a Weld FB director.

Ohio to use up to $25M for food assistance during federal SNAP delay Ohio will provide up to $25 million in support for food assistance to help families that may soon be affected by the anticipated suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

Ohio will “give $7M to several food banks & up to $18M in emergency relief benefits to >63K Ohioans who are at or below 50% of the federal poverty level.” GOP rejected a Dem proposal to tap the state’s nearly $4B “rainy day” fund to continue SNAP benefits. www.daytondailynews.com/local/ohio-t...

SAFETY ADVISORY: No Ring for ICE this Halloween Fight for the Future warns neighbors to turn off cameras October 29, 2025 — This Halloween, leading digital rights group Fight for the Future is issuing an urgent safety advisory for Amazon Ring camera doorbells. In order to keep neighbors and communities safe, they must be turned off. The advisory reads: To preserve human rights and community safety, all people in the United States are advised to turn off and cover their Amazon Ring cameras this Halloween to avoid complicity with ICE operations and the deportation of immigrant families who are trick-or-treating. Earlier this month, Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock. This corporation was was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and with out-of-state law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care. As surveillance devices like Ring doorbells are increasingly being weaponized against marginalized groups, Fight for the Future is raising awareness ahead of Friday so everyone can take action to protect the privacy and safety of all trick-or-treating children and families. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCTOBER 29, 2025 978-852-6457 press@fightforthefuture.org

Particularly key for those living in areas that have seen #ICE activity and that have doorbell cameras…
