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.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Ellis wants the brass in court.

"On Monday, I want the field director here. And the field director is going to explain to me why I am seeing images of tear gas being deployed and... seeing images of ICE agents, if I cannot see the alphanumeric identifier... why is that so?" She says.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

The canceling of ICEBlock is more evidence, were any needed, that the Web is the platform of the future, the only platform without a controlling vendor. Anything controversial should be available through a pure browser interface.

BREAKING: Trump appointee Judge Tim Kelly GRANTS the plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction.

Kelly’s order bars removal of “unaccompanied Guatemalan children who have received neither a final removal order nor permission from the Attorney General to voluntarily depart…”
MEMORANDUM OPINION Just before midnight on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, several Executive Branch agencies began to implement a plan to expel from the United States certain unaccompanied alien children in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and send them back to their home country of Guatemala. Those agencies told the children's caretakers, who were hearing about the plan for the first time, to have them ready for pickup in as little as two hours. The children were roused from their beds in the middle of the night and driven to an airport, where some were loaded onto planes. Lawyers got wind of this hasty operation while it was unfolding and filed this lawsuit seek- ing emergency relief that Sunday at 1:00 a.m. The judge on emergency duty entered a temporary restraining order barring the agencies and their officials from removing or otherwise transporting the children from the United States. At a hearing later that day, counsel for Defendants explained why it was "fairly outrageous" for Plaintiffs to have sued: all Defendants wanted to do was reunify children with parents who had requested their return. But that explanation crumbled like a house of cards about a week later. There is no evidence before the Court that the parents of these children sought their return. To the contrary, the Guatemalan Attorney General reports that officials could not even track down parents for most of the children whom Defendants found eligible for their "reunification" plan. And none of those that were located had asked for their children to come back to Guatemala. On behalf of a putative class, Plaintiffs now seek a preliminary injunction prohibiting De- fendants from transporting them out of the United States while they litigate their statutory and constitutional claims. For the reasons below, the Court will provisionally certify a more limited class than the one they propose, which will consist of unaccompanied Guatemalan children who have received neither a final removal order nor permission from the Attorney General to voluntar- ily depart from the United States. And the Court will also grant their request for preliminary relief. Congress enacted into law a specific process for removing unaccompanied alien children like Plaintiffs, and Defendants' "reunification" plan likely contravenes those statutory requirements. Plaintiffs also face irreparable harm absent an injunction. And the balance of equities supports relief now. Thus, the Court will provisionally certify the class described above and grant Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. I. Background A. Statutory and Regulatory Background Federal law treats "unaccompanied alien child[ren]" —individuals under 18 years old who lack both lawful immigration status and a parent or legal guardian able to care for them in the United States -as a distinct group. See 6 U.S.C. § 279(g)(2). Before Congress passed the Home- land Security Act of 2002, the Immigration and Naturalization Service had enforced federal immigration law, including as to minors. See, e.g., Perez-Funez v. District Dir., INS, 619 F. Supp. 656, 658 (C.D. Cal. 1985). But that legislation dismantled that agency and "transferred" some of its myriad functions-including those few "with respect to the care of unaccompanied alien chil- dren"—to the Department of Health and Human Services. Homeland Secur…

The censure against my dear colleague @repilhan.bsky.social failed tonight, and rightfully so.

The baseless attacks on her were not for any dishonor she brought to the House of Representatives, but because she is a former refugee, Muslim and a woman of color.

I'm growing tired of people blaming accessibility guidelines, for stripping away the creativity from the web.
Most websites are not accessible. Many designers don't know (yet I hope), or don't care about accessibility. Or care in a performative way.
So, stop blaming accessibility for this. Thanks.
