Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

"The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN." www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

The reason for the season. Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day to all who observe.

Not the point, but what is up with his face?

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

Room was successfully booked for Furcationland

The most predictable about face ever.

"it's only a one year extension". yes. where does that put the next ACA fight on the political timeline?

Oh also - lawyers aren’t allowed to tell jurors this so i do: “Jury nullification” is a fancy phrase that just means, “This jury decided not to convict and there’s nothing anyone can do about that.” If we think a law is unjust or unjustly enforced, we can just not convict. We don’t need a reason.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Breaking news. Hedge fund manager angry with NY C election results.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

Bahahahahahaha

Because of his inability to meet rudimentary safety standards for air travel, transportation secretary Sean Duffy announces a 10% reduction in air travel across the 40 most congested markets.

Majority in a three-way race. He beat the second place finisher by 9 percentage points. Politico big mad.

i guess we will never know if they were ICE or not

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

[P] I need a live uninterrupted feed from Cuomo HQ and I need it NOW.

If the dead don't want to be spoken of poorly then they should have been better people in life.

In case anyone needs a reminder of how successful the Republican attack on public health has been: A person who is the first probable measles case near Salt Lake City refuses to speak to the health department, so anyone they came into contact with can’t be warned. This is especially insidious…

The NAACP filed a lawsuit alleging state election officials are unlawfully rejecting college students’ voter registration applications and same-day registration provisional ballots based on missing address information – such as dorm name or room number – that students aren’t required to include.

microsoft teams is actually good because if you're late for a meeting you can just say "sorry, i was trying to join but the teams app made me log in 3 times then just showed a loading icon for 5 minutes" and no one can really question it

This seems to be turning the intent of the regulation on its head, out of spite.

The Republicans have been promising a specific plan as an alternative to Obamacare ever since it passed in 2010. The promise is 15 1/2 years old now. That's probably why they don't seem very sincerely interested in it.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

Your regular reminder. There is no Department of War. Until Congress decides to change it, it's the Department of Defense. And Hegseth is unfit.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings and I’d like a grande pumpkin spice latte to go. No, I said “Ozymandias”. OZYMANDIAS Yes, and don’t forget King of Kings. It’s a whole thing. I don’t have the app, no. …. …. PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE FOR *checks cup* AMANDA KING?

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and don't forget to like and subscribe.

My name was Ozymandias, King of Kings. My name is now Ozymandias Mountbatten Windsor.

The reg line at Furpoc reminds me of the maze game Pathfinder.

Higgledy piggledy Old Ozymandias Ruled an empire Mighty and vast. Only a monume Worn down by desert sands Erosimectomly Below his old ass.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

If you donated to Platner via ActBlue, you can get a refund! Contact them NOW and ask for your money back!

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Remember, friends, The Texas Revolution was fought to expand chattel slavery into Texas. Not a fight for freedom from Mexican tyranny. Article mentions @cltomlinson.bsky.social @realjasonstanford.bsky.social and Bryan Burrough's book, Forget the Alamo. I highly recommend it.

Friendly reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House. This shutdown is entirely their fault.

trump's invulnerability primarily functions through the consensus that he is invulnerable

In New Jersey, healthcare premiums rates will increase on average by 174%.   This is devastating. And, it’s exactly why we have to continue to stand up right now and give families the relief they deserve.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence." It's projection from the right. All the way down.

Sexy bascule lock.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Another damn Mellon.
