I posted the cartoon for discussion, not humor. It seems to have failed, even though it got (correction) 27 Rs.

I am sorry and apologize to those I offended.

In These Times is an American politically progressive monthly magazine of news and opinion published in Chicago, Illinois.[1] It was established as a broadsheet-format fortnightly newspaper in 1976 by James Weinstein, a lifelong socialist. It investigates alleged corporate and government wrongdoing, covers international affairs, and has a cultural section. It regularly reports on labor, economic and racial justice movements, environmental issues, feminism, grassroots democracy, minority communities, and the media.

In 1976, author and historian James Weinstein, along with a handful of journalists, moved to Chicago to launch an independent publication to inform and critically analyze the emerging new movements on the American Left. They called the publication In These Times.

The first issue of In These Times was on released November 15th, 1976.

They modeled their new publication on Appeal to Reason, a socialist newspaper from the turn of the century that once reached more than half a million subscribers. From the beginning, In These Times relied on the financial support of its readers, and the list of founding sponsors included Julian Bond, Noam Chomsky, Barbara Ehrenreich, Daniel Ellsberg and Michael Harrington.

In These Times carved out a unique space on the Left, bridging coverage of social movements with progressive electoral politics while publishing groundbreaking investigations that challenge the growing influence of corporations over government and our daily lives.

That legacy continues on to this day. Our journalism amplifies the ideas, strategies and tactics emerging from grassroots organizing and labor efforts across the country, providing the public attention and intellectual fuel that progressives need to leverage, build and wield power.
