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 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…

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

(Descriptions from top to bottom:)

"My place was never in this world. I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it. To be lost and to be found, that is the lifespan of love."

"Moving with nature, perhaps the rythms of God."

"Guardian Angel. Sweet companion. Stand by my side and do not leave me."

"In those eyes I saw pain and what is pain if not evidence of intelligence?"

"Motor coordination between the eye of one dead man and the arm of another, infused with a new will and the rudiments of understanding."

FHFA's Pulte Says Fannie, Freddie Eyeing Stakes in Tech Firms
By Patrick Clark and Katy O'Donnell
11/07/2025 12:05:34 [BNJ
(Bloomberg) -- Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are looking at ways to take equity stakes in technology companies.
"We have some of the biggest technology and public companies offering equity to Fannie and Freddie in exchange for Fannie and Freddie partnering with them in our business," Pulte said Friday during an interview at a housing conference hosted by ResiClub. "We're looking at taking equity stakes in companies that are willing to give it to us because of how much power Fannie and Freddie have over the whole ecosystem."
Pulte has been seeking to revamp the two government-backed housing finance entities since taking over the FHFA, which oversees both Fannie and Freddie. Pulte, speaking remotely to ResiClub co-founder Anthony Pompliano, said Friday that he's seeking to have the two entities, which have been under government conservatorship since the financial crisis, act more like businesses.
Fannie Mae appointed a new acting chief executive officer, Peter Akwaboah, last month.

Pulte reiterated Friday that he thinks Fannie and Freddie will stay in conservatorship, with the government seeking to sell up to 5% of the entities. President Donald Trump's administration has been weighing a stake sale, Bloomberg News earlier reported.
"I anticipate that the president will make a decision either this quarter or early next year as it relates to the IPO," Pulte said.
