These protests raised an important hue and cry against this injustice, but became most known for the violence that took place on the streets. For that, the black block anarchist assholes from my home town of Eugene (this is personal) and the fascist Seattle cops both deserve plenty of blame.

This Day in Labor History: November 30, 1999. The WTO protests begin in Seattle. Carefully constructed coalitions between labor, environmentalists, and other activists were blown up by anarchists who hijacked the protests for their own purposes, leading to a violent response from the Seattle cops!!!

This Day in Labor History: November 27, 1937. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) debuted its play “Pins and Needles,” which would become the longest running musical of the 1930s. Let's talk about this moment of labor feminism meeting popular culture!

Something I haven't seen before - one of my leek seed heads has tiny bulbils forming at the center of the head. I often see the seeds sprout on the head, which then falls over and launches next year's plants.

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Interesting fact: even with the nickel fare, the Seattle streetcar system was profitable before servicing debt right up to the year the tracks were pulled up. Labor, maintenance, operations, etc. were all covered.
The debt from building the system, though, could not be borne by the nickel fare.

Working remotely from friends' house and spent several hours yesterday on the phone with IT trying to figure out why I couldn't access the company server. Long story short, the company server and one of their devices had the same IP address. Which device you ask? The stove/oven...I kid you not.

Somehow one "Gloriosa" dahlia is hanging on. This spot stays slightly warmer - the rest of the tender plants succumbed to frost weeks ago.
