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.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.
The current scene outside 26 Federal Plaza where Democratic mayoral candidate and City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents earlier for asking to see a judicial warrant.

The crowd supporting Lander is growing - and includes other elected officials.

After adding today's new polls, Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 43.6%, down from 49.4% on day one of his term. His new record-low net rating of -9.4 is now lower than his rating at this point in his first term. Worst-ever approval for a POTUS 100 days in.

Aged 67-104!

They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them!

They had s sign making day before the event!

They sent this video to me to share.🥰

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Voting is a fundamental right and sacred responsibility of every American.

Yet, once again Donald Trump is ignoring the rule of law and circumventing Congress.
