Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Magnificent Morning at Millennium Park. Today in Chicago at the Bean.

Happy 104th birthday to the Chicago Theatre

20 years ago today, the Chicago White Sox won the World Series.

Released as the 8th single from Dangerous, the song was also used as the main theme from the movie Free Willy. It became yet another successful single from Dangerous, peaking at #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and selling one million copies to earn a platinum certification. #Musicsky

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Saturday's Start. This morning with the autumn colors scattered over Chicago's Lincoln Park.

Released as the 7th single from Dangerous (though not in the US), this is actually my favorite from the album. The song continues Michael’s tradition of pairing with rock guitarists like Eddie Van Halen and in this case, Slash from Guns N Roses. #Musicsky

Governor Bill Lee says he won’t touch Tennessee’s $2 BILLION savings account to feed 700,000 children, low-income working parents & disabled Tennesseans

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

Released as the 6th single from Dangerous, Michael said in a 2001 Internet chat with fans, that it is the song he was most proud to have created. He also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of children. #Musicsky

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Chilly Chicago on Thursday. A walk this morning thru the autumn colors in Lincoln Park.

Released as the 4th single from Dangerous, is one of my favorites off the album. It peaked at #14 on the United States' Billboard Hot 100 chart, while peaking at #6 on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as well as topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. #Musicsky

Released as the 4th single from Dangerous, Jam is a new jack swing song whose bridge features a rap verse by Heavy D. As a Chicagoan, I of course love that the video features Michael Jordan, aka the other MJ. It peaked at #26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and received 2 Grammy nominations. #Musicsky

Crazy that Speaker Johnson is letting SNAP die because he doesn't want the Epstein files to get out. He REALLY hates kids.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Released as the 3rd single from Dangerous, it was intended as a duet between Jackson and Madonna, and features female vocals by "Mystery Girl", who was later revealed to be Princess Stéphanie of Monaco. #Musicsky #TwoferTuesday

Released as the 2nd song off of Dangerous, it peaked at #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles and Top 40/Mainstream charts. A 9-minute music video directed by John Singleton, was released for the song and broadcast live on Fox, and received a Nielsen Rating of 13.1.

Spread the word if you agree. Make an example out of one company, others will follow.

“The demonstrations were very small.”

“An interesting way to negotiate a truce in the “war between the sexes” in the United States would be to mandate not an increase in wages for women but rather a decrease in wages for men to the level of any woman holding a similar position.” -Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein #Booksky

Released as the 1st single from Michael’s 8th album, Dangerous. It reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the fastest to reach the position since the Beatles' 1969 single "Get Back", and making Michael the first artist to have multiple #1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s

Sunday Stroll. Today in Chicago amongst the autumn colors.

I’m under 50 and saw plenty of under 50 people at my event. One of my favorites was a dad who pulled over to the side of the road, so his son could see his mom out there protesting for his future. ❤️🇺🇸

We don’t need a fake video of Donald Trump dumping shit on America, because we see it every day for real.

And in doing so validates every drop of today

Released as the 7th single from his 7th album, it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 6th top-10 single from Bad. It describes a woman who has been attacked in her apartment and the search for the attacker, who is "smooth" because he leaves no evidence as to his identity. #Musicsky

not much to argue about on this one, I guess

OMG

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.
