U.S. Labor Organizes, & Acts, On This Date In Peace & Justice History
| November 8, 1892 Thirty thousand black and white, factory and dock workers staged a general strike in New Orleans, demanding union recognition, closed shops (where all co-workers join the union), and hour and wage gains. They were joined by non-industrial laborers, such as musicians, clothing workers, clerks, utility workers, streetcar drivers, and printers. |
| November 8, 1935 United Mine Workers president John L. Lewis and other labor leaders formed the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). They had split with the existing labor union umbrella organization, the American Federation of Labor (AFL), which was not interested in organizing unskilled workers, such as those in the steel, rubber, textile and auto industries.

Peace Song November-
A post from Bee with a song (It’s Muse-click through and turn it up!!), then my selection beneath; leave the volume up for that one, too. Peace Out! 🕊 ☮
Leave the volume up for this one, too. Yes, it seems Christmasy, but it’s a peace song. We used to go to Wichita to see them every year. They told the story during the concert. From notes on the video:
“For anyone who wants to know the story of this song, I looked it up: The city of Sarajevo was in a war with another city, in the middle of the Bosnian War, and his city was destroyed by his own people. Desperate to do something the old man would go to the highest place he could find, and play music on his cello, things like Mozart and Beethoven. A reporter went to try and find him and ask why he did such a crazy thing. He responded because it was his only way to show that there was still a little bit of humanity in the world.”

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.” – Albert Camus (born: 7 November 1913)
If you’ve seen Star Trek The Next Generation you would be familiar with the alien race known as the Ferengi. The Ferengi are a culture based on greed. Their whole way of life is centered on acquiring as much wealth as possible using any means necessary. Greed, gluttony, deception, and all the cardinal sins are virtues to them. When confronted with a force they can’t subdue they become sniveling cowardly weasels. Their holy leader is the Grand Nagus and their holy book is the Rules of Acquisition. The book is a long list of horrible advice such as “when in doubt think ruthless” and “no good deed goes unpunished.”
The Republikkkans are our Ferengi and the oligarchs are the most ruthless and exploitative of that race.
You can’t distill and intensify the projection any more than this. Hurting the people that voted for you? This is psychotic levels of gaslighting.
Mike Johnson is piloting the longest government shutdown in history. He is refusing to work.
But he is collecting his socialism paycheck.
“Please hold—we’re experiencing a high volume of traffic and a low volume of staff.”
The Trump Economy is here!
Employers announced 153,074 cuts last month, compared to 55,597 cuts in October 2024. Last month’s figure was “the highest total for October in over 20 years, and the highest total for a single month in the fourth quarter since 2008,” Andy Challenger, chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a report Thursday.
Whatever you want to say about Biden’s first debate performance, this is a thousands times worse.
Let me get this straight.
1. Trump imposes billions in tariffs on imported goods.
2. The importers pay those to the government and pass them on to consumers so the importers are net zero out of pocket.
3. Then the government has to give the money back, and because there is no way to give it back to the consumers, they will give it back to the importers, giving them a huge windfall.
How is this not a money laundering scheme?
“I think I need a new ballot—I filled in the bubble too emphatically.”
Trump Slump Gets Worse

ICE Agents Invade School To Arrest Teacher In Front Of Kids
What I find deplorable is the fear they caused to the young children all to “capture” a woman who is working and has paperwork allowing her to be here. But the ICE thugs seem to get bounties for each person they snatch. She was a teacher there. How is this the going after the worst of the worst and removing dangerous criminals from the streets? Plus notice that the FBI is now warming of masked criminals pretending to be agents or officers to do crimes. As Emma says that was totally being predicted as kidnappings and trafficking’s of young people and children would start happening. Hugs

17 Great Depression recipes people still cook today during hard times
These recipes are resourceful and delicious.
The Great Depression, which lasted from 1929-1939, caused economic turmoil worldwide. Families struggled to feed themselves, and went to extreme lengths to stretch food and utilize all available ingredients.
Known as the Greatest Generation (those born between 1901 and 1927), their resourcefulness resulted in a number of creative (and delicious) recipes that remain relevant today. Home chefs and bakers shared their Great Depression recipes on Reddit that have been passed down and are still enjoyed today to help others get inventive and save money.
From soups and stews to cakes, these are 17 Great Depression recipes to try.
Soups, Stews and More
Beef and Noodles
“My grandmas go to: Bag of egg noodles 1 can of creamed corn 1 can Campbells chicken noodle soup 1 lb ground beef. Salt and pepper to taste. Brown ground beef, add all other ingredients, add enough water or light chicken stock to cover noodles if needed. Bring to boil, and reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes, take off the heat and let it rest 10 minutes before serving with buttered white bread. I still make this to this day. My kids loved it too. Basically homemade Hamburger Helper.” – -__Doc__-
Hoover Stew (but we could call it Trump Stew, these days)
Ingredients
1 box noodles
A can of tomatoes
1 package of hot dogs, or 1 can of sausage or meat
A can of corn, peas or beans
2-4 cups water
Instructions
“Mix all ingredients together in a pot until boiling. Then simmer for 15-20 minutes until the noodles are tender. If you have aromatics, onion and garlic would be a great addition. If not, the recipe is great as is.” – Josuaross54
Zaprezna soup
“Depression soup… make a roux, add salt pepper and caraway seeds. Add water to make a thick soup texture. Use an egg or two mixed with flour and salt pepper and mix together to make dumplings.. drop into the soup to cook.. This was called zaprezna soup or depression soup. We ate it often in the 60’s after my dad abandoned us. Money was short but this soup was good.” – User Unknown

Peace On Friday
As mentioned Wednesday, Bee observes the Global Strike for Gaza on Thursdays. So we had our Bee blog for Thursday then. And here is Peace Music from Scottie’s Playtime, for both today and yesterday, here.
For Thursday, enjoy some Three Dog Night:
Michael Seidel gave a great suggestion, so here it is for Friday: Rock On For Peace!
