We finally have jobs numbers out this morning from September and take a look at this: big jump again in Black women's unemployment, now 7.5% from 6.7% in August.
This figure has been ticking up all year. This is now the highest unemployment rate Black women have faced in 4 years, since mid-2021.

We are still losing so many innocent souls to murder and suicide. Sadly, in this climate of genocidal hostility cultivated by public figures and governments alike, it isn't surprising.
We must fight back. For the fallen. And for those still with us. #TDOR

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

It is past time to draw negative inferences from the destruction of evidence.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Governments the world over are pledging to do everything possible to address housing crises, as long as it doesn't involve being accountable for actually building any housing.
the government scrapping annual housing targets and instead setting a five-year target that conveniently isn't until after the next general election so in four years time they can be like "we might make it to 300,000, but only if you reelect us!"
