If it's important, they'll leave a message. I'm not giving some spam bot any additional indications that my phone number is active so I can get even more spam calls than I already do.

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

Fuck it, I'm back (a little). Mostly because I really need to scream the following into the void: Fuck this administration. Preferably with a cactus. Fuck people hating on the Bronx. Shut the fuck up about Chicago. I need a new tattoo.

The good news is my insurance was effective on day one. The bad news is I needed it on day six. Doc says I can't bluesky for a while, so I'll see y'all on the other side ✌️

Emerging from borderline depression long enough to say: 1. I expected nothing less from my hometown, but 2. ICE killed a man this week. While the big show may not come, operations have definitely ramped up, and the community needs to continue to document, protect, and fight back. It ain't over.

I have owned two cell phones for one day, and I've already proven that I cannot be trusted with the responsibility of owning two cell phones.

People who have never been homeless might be shocked to know how many people hold this and other similarly atrocious views...

THIS is political violence.

Thinking about how I almost got hit in the crosswalk by a guy on a unicycle walking into court yesterday... If I am meant to die going to court, let it be whimsical.

At my advanced age, shouldn't I be pulling gray hairs out of my head rather than black hairs?

Imagine getting booed during the national anthem in NY on September 11. Get him the fuck outta the Bronx. We don't want him here.

Opens bluesky for the first time today. ... Closes bluesky and takes a walk.

Wastewater shows the rich people on Nantucket have the good plug: Cocaine levels extremely high, fent levels extremely low. Can we expect Donald Trump to start drone bombing the mansions? Lotta drugs on the island. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/05/m...

✔️ haircut ✔️ eyebrows ✔️ facial ✔️ clothes laid out I'm ready for work tomorrow.

My dad built it. It taught me so much. The way the sunrise over the lake soothes the soul after a night of heartbreak. The smell of a summer afternoon storm breaking the day's relentless heat. The rhythm of the L. The food. The festivals. All the street corners where I fell in love...

Chicago forever

Y'all. I have to go be a lawyer on Monday. What have I done?

My crew of Black-women will be on the ground in Chicago this evening. We don’t have news trucks, just our bodies. Support @thetriibe.com and help us build. buy.stripe.com/00w14n5ZRbhk...

have you seen how chicagoans are about our flag? do you really think we're not going to show the fuck up about a military invasion

I am once again asking my neighbors to show the world how they've earned the title of World's Biggest Haters™️. Come on, New York.

Dude's going to fuck around and find out why it's called the Department of DEFENSE...

Seen out and about in Chicago.

Here is a fantastic photo of my cat. For no reason. Except I feel sad.

Invasion hasn't even fully started, & they're achieving goals: terrorizing our neighbors & removing their presence from everyday life. I 100% understand this safety decision, but I think my fellow 8.5x11s need to at least keep the caravans alive out of spite. Waste their time & resources.

Sometimes take the win. Reduce summer murders to be the lowest in 60 years does deserve a victory lap by those who have been doing violence interruption work. That doesn’t mean people are satisfied but take a fucking win people. www.wbez.org/news/2025/09...

Selling his rights to the only thing of relevance he ever did. Good riddance.

Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.

Class of 2025 is entering the workforce!

1. I am once again asking permission to fight Ted Cruz. 2. No self-respecting Chicagoan, born and raised or honorary, would order from Domino's. 3. Since he has dishonored my people, see #1.

The NG and bullshit crime control propaganda is a distraction from the massive kidnapping scheme they are about to unleash on the city. Y'all need to be vigilant from Waukegan on down.

I lived in Roxbury, near Mass and Cass, for three years. I did my time in BMC. Involuntary commitment is not the answer.

Fuck you. We’re from Chicago.

Y'all...lol...

Chicago has a long history of defiance, featuring bold characters such as Ida B. Wells, Studs Terkel and Jane Addams. Now Gov. JB Pritzker, Mayor Brandon Johnson and throngs of protesters are continuing the tradition, telling Trump: Keep your troops out of our city. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

BTW "Scotch-Irish" is not Irish, so...hey, if you've gotten accustomed to being considered white for generations now, we just got knocked back out.

Local media is going to be incredibly important during this authoritarian invasion of Chicago, but there isn't enough of it. If you are able, throw some support to independent media since they are the only ones telling it like it is. (And not just in Chicago, so pick the city you love and support!)

I want to go home. Give 'em the special type of hell that only Chicago can do.

None of my suits still fit, but this dress I haven't been able to zip up since 2018 does. I'm going to need a paycheck, stat.

I decided yesterday that I was no longer doing PR for people. I'm going to keep revising my responsibilities until I get down to "work" and "remember to eat."

There are people whose only skill is stealing the light from your eyes.

A bad day is running into an ex. A worse day is when they have the audacity to approach you.

Cries in just paid rent

Never.

Oh. Damn.

I live in the Bronx. So yes, you can hear 5 different types of music depending on where you're standing in my apartment.

I am a Guy. And I know a guy.

This might be an unpopular take, but ask me if I care. (I don't.) The resist libs, also, need to shut the fuck up about Chicago. Get a hobby other than posting blue wave bullshit on the internet.

In summary...

NEW — Black organizers and elected leaders gathered today to denounce Trump’s threats to send military forces to Chicago. They are developing a 30-day emergency response plan, which includes establishing mutual aid hubs and Know Your Rights training sessions. thetriibe.com/2025/08/blac...

Get in, loser, we're laughing at the NYPD!
