A tale in three pictures.
Part of the image from the post being quoted. Donald and Melania Trump walking down a hallway, holding hands, with completely different body language and facial expressions. Trump is stiff and awkward, with a haunted expression on his face. Melania is power walking in heels and a gray suit, looking extremely happy and seems to be looking at something beyond Trump. Donald Trump closeup from the previous picture, looking like he's hearing the laughs and jeers and vengeful cries of every person that he has ever wronged. Melania Trump with the most genuine smile that has ever been recorded, like she us wielding ultimate power

Multiple bodies were found this morning in Austin in different bodies of water. People were swept away by rising creeks during last night's storm. Likely mostly unhoused.

Multiple bodies found in bodies of water following severe weather by: Kevin Baskar Posted: Oct 25, 2025 / 10:02 PM CDT Updated: Oct 25, 2025 / 10:35 PM CDT AUSTIN (KXAN) - Following severe weather in the Austin metro from Friday night to Saturday morning, multiple bodies were found in bodies of water. A little after midnight Saturday, Austin Travis County EMS conducted a water rescue after reports of people getting washed downstream near 5200 Burnet Road by Shoal and Hancock Creek. The Austin Police Department said the call came in around 12:40 a.m. Saturday. ATCEMS said at 2:36 a.m. public safety teams were unable to locate a victim after an extensive search. On Saturday evening, the Austin Police Department got a call ج 9 the Austin Police Department got a call at 5:22 p.m. of a deceased body near 4600 block of Unity Circle, which is near Shoal Creek. The distance between 5200 Burnet Road and 4600 block of Unity Circle is about two miles. In a press briefing, APD said that they are still investigating the deceased body and is not clear if these two incidents are related. APD said they will provide more information in the upcoming days. Teresa Chatkoff lives near the creek and a bridge that crosses it. She mentioned that during heavy rainfall, the water levels can rise significantly. "When it rains-like it did last night and other times-the water can be up just within a couple of feet of the bottom of this bridge," Chatkoff said. Another person was found dead after Austin Police responded to a report of a body found in Lady Bird Lake Saturday near the intersection of San Antonio Street and Cesar Chavez Street. In a social media update around 3:28 p.m., Austin Police confirmed an adult was pronounced dead at the scene. APD said the victim has not been identified yet. KXAN reached out to APD for more details and was also told four people experiencing homelessness were washed away near a storm drain. Two of the four were rescued, but a man and a woman were swept away and were not found. It is not clear if the two that were swept away are the same deceased people found on Saturday. Prior to severe weather hitting the Austin metro this weekend, KXAN reached out to the City of Austin on how they handle weather preparations for people experiencing homelessness. In a statement, the city said: Outreach teams from Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS) and the City's Homeless Strategy Office (HSO) have spent the day canvassing low-lying and flood-prone areas ahead of the forecasted severe weather, offering to connect people to shelter and resources, flood-prone areas ahead of the forecasted severe weather, offering to connect people to shelter and resources, and to ensure that individuals in vulnerable areas are aware of the potential risks. This is not unique to the citywide initiative that began on Monday. Outreach teams routinely provide education to individuals about the dangers of flash flooding in low-lying areas and emphasize the importance of seeking higher ground during heavy rain events. As part of the outreach effort to keep our unhoused neighbors safe, HSO sent a text alert through the PEH Text Notification System to warn individuals about the impending weather and the possibility of flooding. City of Austin "I grew up in Austin so I kind of used to severe weather. It's still shocking sometimes how threatening it can be," Chatkoff said.

For those unclear about the "obscene" declaration.
I'm curious if other innocuous items skipped from the US have designations that lead to seizure and disposal. An underhanded f-you to Trump, or just censorship?

It's after midnight and the Texas Senate is still at recess. If you are awake, and in driving distance of Austin, and can leave your house, please come to the Capitol NOW. The map is one step away from from being law.

They've kicked everyone off the Capitol grounds. Something about an active shooter. Troopers look bored. Collier is still in there. The #HandsOff rally has moved to the front gates.

Gosh, what causes rickets? (Malnutrition. Malnutrition causes rickets, and exasperates all other diseases)
If you go look at the account before blocking, it's entirely genAI, from the icon to some pictures of the icon in some posts. The text reads like genAI.
Another soulless genAI haint.
Screen shot of the ghoulish, definitely AI slop bluesky account claiming that the horrific pictures of starving Palestinian children are okay because most of the kids already had health problems. The icon on this account is obviously an AI portrait. I have screen shot instead of quote posted because this undead haint AI doesn't need anymore direct attention to their account or the white supremacist blog the post links to. Text: Olivia Reingold @olivia-reingold.bsky.social Follow I recently looked up the Arabic translation of some of the names of the emaciated children used in coverage of the alleged famine in Gaza. It turns out that many of them were sick before the war and have long, complicated medical histories. Our reporting shows they do not represent the average. They Became Symbols for Gazan Starvation. But All 12 Suffer from Other Health Problems. A Free Press investigation found that viral photos lacked important context: The subjects have cystic fibrosis, rickets, or other serious ailments.

I need to see a picture of this, but Trump probably has copies of it ready to sell next week.

Gov. Abbott threatens the TX House Dems who fled the state to stop the redistricting vote, claims he can vacate and reappoint all 51 seats seats.

The House Dems are using the one tool they have to save this crumbling democracy.

So come and take it.

Abbott's letter: gov.texas.gov/news/post/go...
Real Texans do not run from a fight. But that’s exactly what most of the Texas House Democrats just did. Rather than doing their job and voting on urgent legislation affecting the lives of all Texans, they have fled Texas to deprive the House of the quorum necessary to meet and conduct business. These absences are not merely unintended and unavoidable interruptions in public service, like a sudden illness or a family emergency. Instead, these absences were premeditated for an illegitimate purpose—what one representative called “breaking quorum.” Another previously signaled that Democrats “would have to go by an extreme measure” of a quorum break “to stop these bills from happening.” In other words, Democrats hatched a deliberate plan not to show up for work, for the specific purpose of abdicating the duties of their office and thwarting the chamber’s business. That amounts to an abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office. When the Governor calls a Special Session, our Constitution provides that the “Legislature shall meet.” TEX. CONST. art. III, § 5 (emphasis added). It’s not optional. It’s a duty. The absconded Democrat House members were elected to meet and vote on legislation—not to prevent votes that may not go their way. Every session, legislators on both sides of the aisle find themselves on the losing side of a legislative vote. And every session, most of those legislators find a way to disagree agreeably and behave like adults, rather than going AWOL.

ABBOTT'S THREAT CHICAGO - After Gov. Greg Abbott threatened lawmakers with arrest and expulsion from the House of Representatives for denying him a quorum to pass his racist mid-decade redistricting scheme, the Texas House Democratic Caucus issued the following statement: "Come and take it." the Texas House Democratic Caucus issued the following statement: "Come and take it."

Surely this is the face of a man who has tasted human flesh.
A close up of the photo this post quote skeets. Zoomed in on David Richardson, acting FEMA director of Texas. He looks like some cursed undead thing that has dealt with the Devil and regrets skimming over the fine print of the contract and failing to see the Right To Transfer Debt Ownership subsection. Now he works for the Trump Administration.
