Truth Shots

“Can you please let people know we didn’t treat you like an animal?” That’s what an ICE agent asked King Trivv on his way out of Delaney Hall. What happened before that moment is a story he’s never told on TikTok, and it raises a hard question about who gets to walk out of these facilities and who doesn’t. From making Vines in a group home to documenting ICE operations from Minneapolis to New York, Trivv also breaks down what organizing really looks like when the cameras are off, and what it takes to show up for the people these raids leave behind.

Country artist Bryan Andrews pulls up a chair to talk diesel prices killing MAGA in farm country, why growing up in a small town made him a leftist, and what it's like to collect death threats like Pokémon after going viral. Plus deer hunting, desert bird, and the real story behind "Yee-Haw, F*ck the Law." Catch him on tour starting November 5th in DC.

Two weeks out from the midterms, and the panic is starting to show.PThis week, Trump hands farmers an $8 billion bailout for a mess he made, then promises more if Republicans win. The DOJ charges 28 people with voting crimes in a state where 16 million people voted. Republicans suddenly love France. And Trump drops $400 million on the midterms while launching a fraud tip line, which is a bold move for the guy behind Trump University.Plus Putin pitches a Yalta reunion, JD Vance gets left on read, and a few college kids in New Zealand remind us that someone, somewhere, is still building things that work.

The midterms are three weeks out and everything in this country is for sale. This week, Doritos cost more thanks to a war nobody voted for, and Trump buys diesel from the guy helping Iran. The world’s first trillionaire is buying the Senate with pocket change, and Ken Paxton’s New Year’s Eve guest list is a federal case. Feds raid Ilhan Omar’s home, Trump’s new press secretary can’t say where she passed the bar, and an ICE agent opens fire on a dad in the Bronx with his five-year-old in the back seat. Plus, one Texas estate sale with a little more bang for the buck.
