I’m very glad I got to work on this campaign and I’m very excited for her next move. I’ll be there to help because this is truly what government should be doing. Kat Abughazaleh on Losing, Mutual Aid, and What Comes Next newrepublic.com/article/2080... via @newrepublic.com

Overheard while hanging out at my local coffee shop: “I could never be polyamorous. It’s like eating spaghetti; too messy.” Sounds like someone needs to learn how to eat spaghetti.

Hardcore haircut.

Death metal ‘do.

We may be down, but cats never give up.

Abughamentum is real. I hope it keeps going up. I want at least six-point lead for her win.

The die has been cast! @katmabu.bsky.social

This is a huge endorsement for me, as well. Tlaib has stayed the course with her values from the beginning, just like Abughazaleh.

Getting a head start on the week with breakfast prep. This week is going to be busy and these oat muffins will be a great grab and go. #WhatsCooking #🍽️💙

Once again, if you can’t answer a yes or no question, I don’t trust you. Also, if you can’t take a firm stand, how am I supposed to believe you’ll take one against the Rump? Kat Abughazaleh is the only one with a spine in that group.

Another candidate forum, another call out. Kat Abughazaleh is killing it! When asked a yes or no question, if you can’t answer yes or no, you’re a shyster.

Stickerbombing. #ImAKatPerson #KatForIllinois

Sometimes things are so busy that snacks are what’s for dinner. Made this channa with my favorite flavor combo: salt and cayenne pepper. I popped these fiery peas in my puss before I had to head out to the next job. No sickie ickies can touch me now.

She’s just that good.

Dusk’s debut album Majestic Thou In Ruin was released in 1995 and saw the band severing themselves from the straight death metal of their previous EP to move in a more doom direction. The beauty of nature sounds in this song give way to the band’s intimidating musical force. youtu.be/hYdIhakfy1s

I just got done tussling with an establishment Dem about Kat. Sadly, he sounded like this. Blue MAGA is real. It’s time to throw them out with the GOP. youtu.be/4yXsd87Zgb4

Lisa Germano’s Geek The Girl was released in 1994 and was her biggest-selling album. She sang about very intense and dark subjects that seemed even more so given her soft and whispery delivery. It connected deeply to those sensitive souls who didn’t want to scream to be heard. youtu.be/VvBDSggtTBg

Kat Abughazaleh throwing out yet another top-notch ad. It certainly stands out from the boring, almost interchangeable ones I’ve seen so far from every other politician in every other race going on this year.

Anti-Cimex’s Scandivian Jawbreaker was released in 1993 and made them punk legends in their home country of Sweden. While virtually unknown in America, these guys pack a powerful punch on par with the best in the West. youtu.be/aQ_zYeYhc80

Guided By Voices’ Propeller was released in 1992 and was almost their last one. They had spent several years toiling without much notice or acclaim, racking up heavy debt in the process. They agreed to make one more album and call it quits. It was a hit and they are still here. youtu.be/16sP_kLffWI

Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesque was released in 1991. The group’s fourth album finally saw them punching through the American market where those too late to experience Big Star found a killer replacement, if only for a moment, as subsequent albums would never chart so high. youtu.be/DQfTMU55wHo

Pantera’s Cowboys From Hell was released in 1990 and was not only their major label debut, it also marks the debut of their groove metal style after four previous albums of trendy hair metal that found them treading water. They dropped trying to be popular and it worked. youtu.be/mDATU5_jeC0

Negativland’s Helter Stupid was released in 1989 as a concept album, answering the media coverage given their previous album in being the cause of David Brom murdering his family in Minnesota. It also addressed other allegedly music-related murders and suicides. youtu.be/1yBAKfPKfhA

Lucinda Williams’ self-titled album was released in 1988. While her greatest success would come a decade later, this is the album that pricked up the public’s ears, marking her as a force to be reckoned with, using simple lyrics to powerfully dissect complex relationships. youtu.be/8z2p1Kl4HPQ

Sarcofago’s debut album I.N.R.I. was originally self-released in 1987 and became a death metal classic that influenced many, especially in the Nordic scene, for it’s highly aggressive sound and drummer Eduardo’s heavy reliance on blast beats. youtu.be/V-rb0dWLblM

Van Morrison’s No Guru, No Method, No Teacher was released in 1986 and considered a comeback of sorts, as his previous three albums failed to impress critics or consumers. This is a combined reworking of Them’s “Here Comes the Night” and W.B. Yeats’ poem “Under Ben Bulben.” youtu.be/QHuyxv3OVmg

It’s funny because it’s terrifyingly true. Richard Scarry’s What Do People Do All Day in Fascist Busytown? www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ric...

Destruction’s debut album Infernal Overkill was released in 1985 and quickly shot them into heavyweight status in Germany, along with Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. Despite the chaos of numerous lineup changes, domestic troubles and arrests, the band continues to record and tour. youtu.be/XIEeZFjFEmM

The Pogues released Red Roses For Me in 1984, playing traditional Irish folk and their own shambling drinking songs with a punk attitude, paving the way for later Irish-American punks, such as the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly. youtu.be/HpnUKZKdKYQ

Peter and the Test Tube Babies’ The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs was released in 1983 and was dismissed as dunderheaded punk pillaging the same three chords over and over again, completely missing the messages buried within, such as this anti-junk food screed. youtu.be/ArZJMM8cE44

Bauhaus’ The Sky’s Gone Out was released in 1982 and was the beginning of the end for the band. Beset by internal conflicts and increasing drug use, they opted for an outside producer, which just made matters worse. They made one more album and then called it quits. youtu.be/iMm5WovO9zo

Michael Stearns’ Planetary Unfolding was released in 1981. He composed the album on his homemade 12-panel Serge modular synthesizer and has said he wanted to make an album that would make the listener feel as if they were traveling through space. Mission accomplished. youtu.be/dzzN301e014

Merle Haggard’s Back To The Barrooms was released in 1980. This song was written with his third wife Leona Williams. Haggard may not have been able to break the habit of their love, but Williams had no such problem, leaving him and his drinking behind a couple years later. youtu.be/li4ggQmdN1U

The Pop Group’s debut album Y was released in 1979. It’s chaotic sound and political lyrics made it an aquired taste upon its intial release, but it has since been cited as influential by many bands including the Minutemen, Sonic Youth and Nick Cave. youtu.be/wk5UBgfWeFU

Faramarz Aslani’s Hafez, A Memorandum was released in 1978. He set to music poems of the great Persian poet Hafez and was forced to flee Iran during the 1979 revolution that deposed the U.S.-backed shah. He died in a Maryland hospital from cancer in 2024. youtu.be/BzCtm-zFZaI

Taeko Ohnuki’s Sunshower was released in 1977 and while it was initially considered a flop, the times slowly caught up to her and it became a city pop classic. Ryuichi Sakamoto’s arrangements are stellar, as is the accompanying band’s performance. youtu.be/kwh-lz5lqhY

Popul Vuh’s Letzte Tage—Letze Nachte was released in 1976. The group started out on an electronic path morphing into an acoustic landscape of Eastern and African elements to create a more worldly (and otherworldly) sound. youtu.be/1SBVGU9MxI4

Guy Clark’s debut album Old No. 1 came out in 1975 after he had spent years writing songs for other artists. Since this album appeared on the scene, dozens of artists have covered his material, including Bobby Bare, George Strait and Kathy Mattea. youtu.be/IcahNDPStc4

Another great ad from Kat Abughazaleh. This campaign needs to be taught in media studies programs. youtu.be/5U1oI3JqDZI

Simon Diaz’s Tornadas was released in 1974 and was the only album of his to make even a small dent in the USA. In Venezuela, however, he is a legendary musician, actor and comedian. youtu.be/mElGDOUFZm4

Tom Ze’s Todos Os Olhos was released in 1973 and spelled the end of his career for more than 25 years as the Brazilian government cracked down on the Tropicalia movement. Not only were they against Ze’s political criticism, they weren’t happy with his perceived album cover. youtu.be/vesoCfTSXhk

The Late Great Townes Van Zandt was released in 1972 and while it flew under most people’s radar then, the album gained greater acclaim and interest when Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard took his song “Pancho and Lefty” to #1 years later. I prefer this cover of Guy Clark. youtu.be/bULK1XoZysM

Those familiar with Uriah Heep from their biggest hit “Stealing When I Should Have Been Buying” should check out their second album Salisbury, released in 1971, to hear the justified comparisons to King Diamond, who has proclaimed himself a fan. youtu.be/XlyyJS_iNsQ

Wishbone Ash’s self-titled debut arrived in 1970, but it would be 10 years later before I discovered them via an interview where Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing of Judas Priest cited them as being influential in their harmonic twin lead guitar attack. I prefer the bass work here. youtu.be/FNJqVW2L5is

Archie Shepp's Yasmina, A Black Woman from 1969, featuring trumpeter Lester Bowie, saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell and bassist Malachi Favors from the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was recorded live in Paris. Here is his interpretation of the jazz standard "Body and Soul." youtu.be/eaWdiYdtgn0?...

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
