Full speed ahead, thank you 🙌🏽
After a blue wave swept Texas, the Houston mayor announces that he's ending local police cooperation with ICE to "reduce fear and anxiety across our community." The Houston Police Dept was forced to work with ICE after the Abbott threatened to pull more than $110 million in funding from the city. Now, with Gina Hinojosa taking control of the state, local police will let any illegal immigrant they encounter who doesn't have a jail worthy offense go free without notifying ICE.

Love the children/relatives of icons refuting the foolishness and ignorance of strangers
You should do your homework before making a fool of yourself. My father was a staunch Democrat his entire life breaking away only twice: he voted for Nixon because of his stand on China ("I don't think we can sweep the millions of Chinese under a rug" and for Reagan because he was a loyal friend.

Lmaoooooooo every single time I call an Uber in ATL, the first option is Waymo. Always a nope.
Atlanta friends dressed as Waymo self-driving cars for Halloween, and even the cops stopped to watch. One of them got stuck in a hedge. Obviously.

We really need to bring back neck-cracking bitch slaps
MAGA couple ride horses through town—dressed as the KKK. "We were just ghosts of KKK members," woman on horse said. She says she's not racist because she has "Brown friends." "They thought was hilarious because well—duh it was the past and they’ve gotten over it." Police did instruct them to leave—but only because it is not allowed to parade a horse on city streets without a permit. Before that parents had been bringing their children out trick-or-treating over to take pictures with the couple. Incident occurred on Halloween in Huntington, Indiana. Michelle Gartner doesn’t have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Oh.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

The wayyyyy I miss Pop-up 😭
"Pop-Up Video" debuted on VH1 on this date in 1996, adding a whole new layer to watching music videos. BITE-SIZED FACT | The show filled music videos with pop-up bubbles revealing trivia, behind-the-scenes stories and amusing facts about the artists and songs.
