Happy Halloween! Ready for another terrifying stream of Wonder Womans, Moanas, and babies dressed like pumpkins?

No matter who comes to your door for tricks and treats, we see much scarier things every day in our reporting:
The #EPA is now in the hands of a lobbyist for the coal industry. We’re sure that’s going to go super-duper well for the environment:

This “Christian charity” is fundraising off the children separated from their parents .… They’re totally not going to hell:

Our government has started taking citizenship away from people. #Xenophobia is pretty frightening:

#Obergefell, the case that granted marriage equality to same-sex couples, might have been the high point rather than a jumping-off point for equality:

#Kavanaugh. Enough said.

What list would be complete without voter disenfranchisement, especially of #Native people?

And, finally, #Republicans in 14 states are diverting public funds (in one case, money allocated to feed hungry children), so that women looking for an #abortion clinic can be told lies about abortion.

So, friends, we wish you a #HappyHalloween. Enjoy the costumes and the children and the candy—we’ll still be here reporting on the truly terrifying.

The Trump administration is trying to radically expand the "public charge" rule to dozens of federal and state programs.

Of all the proposed changes to the immigration system, this will have the greatest impact
The public charge rule expansion is effectively a wealth tax.

1 in 3 Americans today would not meet this proposed test
Today is the final day to submit comments to oppose the proposed expansion

The United States has had a shameful history of treating people with disabilities.

And now, Helen Keller is very literally being erased from the history books.

During the eugenics movement in the 20th century, for example, more than 65,000 people, many of whom had disabilities, were forcibly sterilized in government-sanctioned procedures.

At their peaks, there were nearly 560,000 people with psychiatric disabilities and 195,000 people with intellectual disabilities living in state institutions.

Wednesday night, Jeff Sessions announced his support for the Christian fundamentalist group, #ADF. The group has long been working to infiltrate the government of the United States.
The group established the "Blackstone Fellowship” in 2000 to indoctrinate young law students to fight for cases involving reproductive rights and sexual justice in accordance with a "distinctly Christian worldview.”

rewire.news/article/2014/0…
More than 40 Blackstone individuals have clerked for state and federal judge in states across the nation. Between them, they have filled nearly 60 of what are prestigious roles.

Good evening folks!

It's now 7pm GMT and I'll be offering #tarot readings for the next 6hrs (2am GMT) check link below for details

But like last night while I'm not doing readings I'm going to be doing a Halloween/witchy/tarot thread here so enjoy!

I'd like to begin tonight's thread by showing something that means a great deal to me.

I am a celtic pagan and was raised loosely as such. For my 13th birthday I had a coming of age ritual and was given my first book of Shadows by my mom.

Here is the handwritten inscription image is a handwritten inscription in a book it reads.<br /> <br /> you are the new wave, my love.<br /> walk bravely, my child<br /> but, safely and for the benefit of mother earth.
image is a handwritten inscription in a book it reads.

"you are the new wave, my love.
walk bravely, my child
but, safely and for the benefit of mother earth."

These words fundamentally helped shape who I am and I hope they help someone else too.

Happy Halloween 🎃 nypost.com/2018/10/30/wom…
"Do you believe in ghosts?"

I don't need to believe something I already experienced with my own senses.

This picture you're looking at is from a Paranormal Investigator report.
From my old house, years ago.

That was a fun evening.
I waited until Halloween to share that ^ and this photo here. Although orb stuff is much more up to interpretation and doubt, I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Ghosts bring to mind hauntings, otherworldly apparitions, strange noises in the night.

In ancient Assyria and Babylonia, ghosts populated a variety contexts, from the frightening to the mundane.

Here is a brief look at ghosts in ancient Mesopotamia to celebrate #HALLOWEEN
Akkadian word of the day is etemmu “ghost”, sometimes written in cuneiform with the Sumerian GIDIM (and related logograms)
In Mesopotamia, ghosts appear in personal and royal letters, in which they figure in prophesies, are blamed for misery, and included in oaths.

To an Assyrian king: “Her ghost blesses him (saying) as he has shown reverence to the ghost, ‘His descendants shall rule over Assyria!’”

(2) #AboutStrzok How many #STRZOK family members are there? There are only 100 total Americans out of 300 million with this name . You can Google this. #PeterStrzok must be unique in such a small family, right?
