I can’t believe that the DOJ didn’t think anyone would catch that Michael Jackson/Diana Ross picture. It’s amazing with all the money, resources and technology the DOJ has and they can’t even pull off a good frame-up.

I’m so square. I just found out those red marks around Karoline Leavitt’s face in the Vanity Fair photos are from a lip filler injector. I thought they were herpes sores.

I’m not the type of person who thinks certain foods should be eaten at certain times, so this isn’t breakfast for dinner, just dinner. Tomato and black olive frittata spiced up with smoked paprika, hot chile powder, turmeric, salt and pepper served with fried potatoes.

If I was this guy, I would be totally embarrassed to present this challenge, but he’s a white Republican and they know no shame. As expected, this ignoramus’ bogus claim was found to be bogus and Kat Abughazaleh will be on the the ballot for IL-09 Congressional seat. Let’s get this woman in office!

Kat Abughazaleh spoke at the Remove The Regime rally on Saturday. Shitlibs could, at least learn a thing or two about messaging from her. youtu.be/jo54380qVGM

Fresh from being incapacitated with food poisoning, I’m ready to take my life in my hands again with cornmeal-crusted catfish and parsnip-carrot gratin. This time, I shopped for and prepared the ingredients myself. It’s not “elevated,” but I am. I’ll take simply delicious over fancy spewing any day.

Kat Abughazaleh, 9th district Congressional candidate, walking out of court after pleading not guilty to conspiracy to exercise her First Amendment rights.* *all words are my own and do not reflect the bogus wording by the DOJ.

It’s Election Day! Trump and Musk endorsed Cuomo. May it be the kiss of death. C’mon, NYC, be at the forefront of change and elect Zohran Mamdani mayor!

The best Halloween costume I saw while I was out working was a kid about five years old dressed as a pig wearing a police officer’s uniform. Second best, a teenager dressed as Mark Mothersbaugh from his peak Devo era.

Happy Halloween! Just need to put the finishing touches on my Cousin It costume.

Shit’s getting hot. The DOJ finds Kat Abughazaleh a threat and she is…to fascism.

Yessss!!!! The Jays are killing it!

Hakeem Jeffries’ endorsement of Zohran Mamdani is a master class in passive aggression. Chuck Schumer, care to top that? Or are you going to stand with your cuz Amy and endorse the arrogant sex pest?

A few months ago, I made a vat of dal and froze half. Today it was warmed up and I made a mango, coconut, cucumber salad to go with it. In addition to the aforementioned ingredients, the salad also has jalapeno, lemon and lime juices, a little brown sugar and red pepper and cilantro. Delicious!

I wasn’t able to go to the No Kings protest, but I was productive, petitioning for @katmabu.bsky.social. This was my favorite sign of the day.

It looks like Graham Platner is getting too popular. Chuck Schumer has stepped in and convinced Janet Mills to run. Schumer has yet to endorse Mamdani, but he has plenty of time to meddle in Maine to undermine a working class candidate. Tell me how the Dems aren’t complicit.

The only benefit to being on the streets at 7:30 a.m. is watching the sky go nuclear. #UkrainianVillage #RiotousChicago #TooDamnEarly #NeedCoffee

I’m on Team Dracula. youtu.be/vHDvQ1UKOmg

Normally, this building would say “Go Cubs!”

What a coincidence.

Baking is not my forte, but cobbler is easy. Four berry cobbler (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry) with a cornmeal biscuit topping served with churros ice cream. Yummy! #WhatsCooking 🍽️💙

One could pick almost any Misfits song and it would be appropriate for Halloween. I decided to go for the obvious. #musicsky youtu.be/jfJkvnXx8vw

‘Tis the season. youtu.be/pT4FY3NrhGg

Now that ICE is getting more money than the military, recruitment ads abound on electronic billboards, radio, tv, online and even flyers.

Honey orange chicken thighs and a spinach salad with tomatoes, red onions and vinaigrette. Seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper, gave them a quick sear and finished them off in the oven surrounded by orange slices.Glaze was butter, garlic, orange juice, honey, soy sauce and red pepper flakes.

Looks like the Dems are using the same strategy they used when the last shutdown loomed: demand meetings, negotiations, amendments, then cave after being ignored by the Group Of Pedophiles. Why not? It worked so well last time.

My favorite Robert Redford movie is All The President’s Men. I remember when journalism was about speaking truth to power.

Not my district, but I like the cut of her jib. This is what I want to see from my elected officials. #BadBitchAlert

Autistic Tranny Death Cult is a great band name.

I made a sheet pan dinner of roasted asparagus, salmon and garlic seasoned with salt and pepper. The roasted garlic was used, along with olive oil, in the couscous I made while everything cooked. A dollop of pesto on the salmon, a squeeze of lemon over the whole plate and you’ve got a tasty dinner.

Though the National Guard is off Chicago's schedule for the moment, ICE is still here and their presence is growing. They've already killed a man and fired pepper balls into protesters. I'm sure this latest incident is just a coincidence. #NoGoodCops

“It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the Second Amendment.”—Charlie Kirk

Whatever you think about Kat Abughazaleh’s policies, you have to admit she is making politics fun in the old-school DIY punk tradition, as her guerilla postering contest this past weekend shows. I’m loving the energy coming out of this corner of Chicago. Angelic upstart, indeed.

Rump thinks a chipocalypse will bring Chicago down. Dude, know your enemy. Chocolate chip cookies don't have anywhere near the appeal of meat in this city. #NeverForget Dozens Dead In Chicago-Area Meatwave — theonion.com/dozens-dead-...

Johnson prevents ICE from using LSD. That’s a free headline for the media.

ICE couldn't make it out of the 'burbs today, thanks to these protestors, including 9th District Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, second from the left Demonstrators block entrance at Broadview ICE facility: 'They know Chicago doesn’t want ICE in our city chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I’m really glad I’m past child bearing age. According to RFK, Jr., Tylenol, as well as vaccines, causes autism in pregnant women.

My new descriptor for big-ass bitches will now be “security heavy.” Thanks, Cardi B!

The holiday weekend is officially over and still Trump lives. ☹️

While most people fire up the grill on Labor Day, I don’t have that luxury, so I panfried chicken breast with powdah—honey, brown mustard and turmeric specifically, as well as salt and pepper. I paired it with cheesy baked polenta I made while the chicken sizzled on the stovetop. Delicious!

This holiday weekend I’ll be doing what so many across the country are doing: manifesting Rump’s death. #diediedie

National Guard soldiers (and their defenders) have been using a “just doing my job” excuse for following Rump’s orders. JB Pritzker has announced he will have National Guard soldiers charged for obeying illegal orders, if they accept deployment to Chicago. Time to pick your side.

My first impression of America College was ominous.

While I support the right to burn the American flag as a form of protest, I would rather it not happen since most flags are made of plastic.

Candidates are trying to get on the ballot in Illinois for the midterms. Since Illinois voters are only allowed to sign one candidate’s petition per office, I go hard on wanting to hear the specifics of platforms before signing. What I’ve learned is few are prepared to go beyond generalities.

Was able to snag a half-price whole chicken. I roasted it with shallots, dill, salt and pepper. Served with the giblet gravy I made while the chicken roasted. Paired with cornmeal-crusted fried zucchini. Tasty and low-effort!

I just saw my first campaign sign in my neighborhood for the mid-term elections. I have cool neighbors.

You know it’s been a good week if I’m eating meat. Made chicken sautéed with apples and carrots with a sauce made from shallot, thyme, apple cider, chicken stock thickened with cornstarch and sour cream and whole grain mustard mixed in and topped with chives. #whatscooking 🍽️💙

Andrew Cuomo: “If you vote for Mamdani, he’ll turn NYC into Chicago.” Chicago: *cracks knuckles* “What the fuck he just say?”

Benjamin Netanyahu being shocked about how emaciated the hostages are is ridiculous. If you block food from entering Gaza, thereby effectively starving those in Gaza, the hostages, who are in Gaza, will also starve. Netanyahu doesn’t mind exterminating Israelis along with the Palestinians for power.
