Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Apparently the New Yorker hired Arthur H. Cartwright, Children's Theatre Critic to write their review of Wicked: For Good. Petty with a dilettante's knowledge of the original source material. More in the comments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kF-...

Such beautiful news from the Emerald City, where @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social personifies the emerging young Democratic wave. Lucky Seattle!

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Katie has taken the lead in Seattle! Go Katie!

KATIE!

Trump will say that now “even the Democrats agree” with him and he was “right all along.” Over a month of brutal pain was inflicted on the American people, and now he’ll claim it was “all the Democrats’ fault” and “they finally came to their senses.” hartmannreport.com/p/is-trumps-...

I'm so worried about what'll happen when our kids are old enough to have phones!!!! 😮😮😮

DO NOT CAVE!

For all the folks out there that are snarking on Rama, remember good old white folks of Pawnee, Indiana put Sarah Nelson Quindle out on an iceberg for showing her elbows. So “Hush” on Mamdani imposing Chaka Khan law.

Yay! Jasmine green tea to suppress my appetite and the food noise which is normally Spinal Tap’s Smell the Glove turned up to 11.

If the sandwich didn't split, you have to acquit.

Let debate rage for days, then vote, as the founders intended; end the antique veto and force both parties to own their visions before the people… hartmannreport.com/p/a-republic...

Big Aurora Borealis projected for this evening. Lady A made an appearance in my Wisconsin hometown, and in Milwaukee. The show in Frostbite Falls was apparently amazing. Look north tonight! www.spaceweather.gov/news/g3-stor...

He began his speech by quoting Eugene Debs.

I teach at a New Jersey College. Today in class I told my students, "If you were unable to vote today because of the terrorist bomb threats, leave now and go vote. They made these threats because they hate Black and Latino people having freedom. Don't let the terrorists win."

Genuinely Poor Reposting because I've added a kicker panel. Thanks to @schraubd.bsky.social for the suggestion! Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon Help us make more! patreon.com/barry

Happy Halloweening!

Cars are becoming more and more expensive. It's not just the purchase, depreciation, and maintenance, it's the huge infrastructure investment that we have to make. More people are turning to bicycles, not just for health or ethical reasons. How can cities react? Investing in bicycles.

Only Beastie Boys Sabotage accepted. ;) and I’m not really a Beastie Boys fan.

Le Commissariat central de Police released a photo of the detective tasked with tracking down the Louvre robbers...

“There’s a land that I see, where the people are free. And I say it ain’t far, to this land from where we are.”

Harriman State Park, White Bar Trail. I’m on top of a hill, sitting in the sun as Ravens call and my students complete their forest surveys.

(1) The Year of the Co-Operative. Back in the mid 1990's, I lived in a Co-Operative in Madison Wisconsin, Hypatia House. I was a member for a year and served as their Treasurer for about half of that time. Ever since then, I looked for other www.equaltimes.org/the-cooperat...

We attended the Fungi Festival at Randall’s Island this afternoon and enjoyed the food, information, and art. And I found Chestnut Mushrooms for sale.

Turn off your phone’s “advertising ID” to make it harder for location data brokers to track you. (2/4)

I’m proud to have played a small part in bringing Jimmy Kimmel back on Sinclair’s stations. I will always stand with Seattle’s residents to protect our freedoms from Trump’s authoritarianism. I look forward to debating on October 8th — live on KOMO! #thisisyourcity #jimmykimmel #katiewilson

Which side are you on? Which side are you on?

Back in the 80's, I was a big fan of Sid Meir's Railroad Tycoon.

One of my favorite Comic Book artists is releasing a new book this year.

Anti-vax sentiment decreasing the rate of rabies vaccines in dogs might collide with the current increase in aggressive and badly-controlled dogs + overtaxed animal control services and shelters in *really* ugly ways.

It's the beginning of a new semester and if you are a teacher, or a student, you might wish to review James Baldwin's words to Teachers in a Time of Turmoil. Love the alliteration, James. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/ba...

The model of extreme "planned obsolescence" crashing headlong into the average consumers new need to keep things as long as possible because you can't afford to replace it is going to be absolute torture.

Few people have realized that the erosion of the average quality and reparability of consumer goods over the last couple of decades is going to absolutely create a crisis as tarrifs and other stupid policies prevent us from replacing all the artificially cheap shit we've been buying.

How many Katrinas will it take, how many kids swept away, before we stand up to a bully who is more concerned with hunting down critics and saving face than saving lives?

I've been fiddling with maps for a project on the Newark Subway, what once was, and what could be. The first photo is the current system in Dark Blue (Classic) and Light Blue (New Wave).
