Trump pardons a narcotics kingpin, but he blows up fishing boats in the Caribbean.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

while I cannot top @sbisson.com 's response of 'not mush room in here', the depiction of mushroom Jesus, Mary and Joseph taking shelter in the hollowed out corpse of another mushroom is very 'giving up your life for others/crucifixion' and also 'cannibalism/transubstantiation' foreshadowing...
ALL HAIL MUSHROOM JESUS

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.

“Never cruel or cowardly. Never give up, never give in.” Sometimes you get lucky enough to see someone try to embody the best of themselves.
"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

Crucifers are WEIRD.
Brussels sprouts grow upright on a tough, woody stem. This picture is a partly mechanized harvest, but a crew of workers used machetes to cut off the stalks in the field, while another worker trims off the leaves as he feeds the stalks into the machine. It's grueling work especially when it is hot.

You can see the raspberry canes growing in the background. This worker is going through the flats that were just picked and filling the clamshell retail boxes. She is making sure only high quality berries are included and the weight is accurate.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Whether we’re with chosen or forced family, we don’t have to do the fascists’ work for them by commenting on people’s bodies. Especially not their weight when many of our neighbors here and abroad are undergoing intentional starvation. You can always talk Vincent Price fun facts instead.

Democrats & friends CAN win a supermajority in both houses of Congress.
Trump & his policies are hated enough to do so.
It means a hard, full court press by everyone - laser focused on republican controlled offices. No distracting internal fighting.
If succeed Trump can be impeached & removed.

Don't let the Starbucks ads during the Thanksgiving parade distract from the fact that workers are on strike right now.
Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪
Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

When I heard about the Hong Kong fire, Grenfell was the first thing I thought of.
Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.
