Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

This is a landslide. The last NYC mayoral candidate to clear 1 million votes was John Lindsay—over 50 years ago. It will be dismissed by pundits saying it can only happen in New York. That's garbage. Think pledging to freeze rent and offer childcare won't resonate in Nevada? Wisconsin? Texas?

Flock is a fucking enemy of the people and democracy. They are literally surveilling us 24/7. They have continually lied about their product and who has access to their cameras because ICE & DHS can tap into it at any time. It has been used by abusive partners to track pregnant women in other states

Of course, during the FBI press conference on the takedown of the NBA gambling ring, Kash Patel has to invoke Trump, the borders, and faux outrage for an investigation that started 4 years ago. All they do is politicize. Exhausting.
