It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.
Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
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.

I grasp that the timeline has some other things going on, but I had longform thoughts about elections this week and subsequent discourse that I’d been kicking around and drafting for a couple days, and before the Steelers game is kind of the last minute I can get them in

I see a lot of people jumping to conclusions re: Schumer’s vote and taking victory laps around their priors being confirmed, from both sides…can we let this play out for like an hour, at least? Please?
