AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

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…

Chesterton, maddeningly, had it right and people like that one have it completely wrong.

G.K. Chesterton had a line about this in “The Man Who Was Thursday”:
"Mere mobs!" repeated his new friend with a snort of scorn. "So you talk about mobs and the working classes as if they were the question. You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists, as you can see from the barons' wars."

Charlie wanted this.

If the GOP wants to honor him, fuck a statue, release the Epstein files.

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

Reminder to anyone who’s written an article like “this horrifying situation changed labor laws forever”, it’s time to go back and update “forever” to read “until 2025.”

I think the Satanic Temple should take this position. Maybe then it would be clear enough for Christians.
Screenshot of a post by Jacob Brunton who says Jesus is not a bleeding heart liberal. He did not ultimately save you out of pity for you. He saved you for His own glory. And He saved you from the infinite wrath He had against you for insulting His glory. This is the masculine theology of the Bible. Learn to love it. And then a reply from originalspin who asks Forgive me if my biblical understanding is amiss, but isn't this *actually satanic*?

The last few months have been a moral catastrophe. At least there’s no economic upside.

Democrats are saying no votes unless the bill includes safeguards against Musk’s illegal & unconstitutional behavior. Republicans are rejecting that, but we need Democrats to hold the line. Make sure they hear from you.

House: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Senate: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
(above an image of Congress) HOUSE DEMOCRATS CAN STOP THE TRUMP-MUSK POWER GRAB IF THEY USE THEIR LEVERAGE IN THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FIGHT Democrats are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they're without power. Here's how Democrats can stop extreme MAGA cuts and President Musk. HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE LEVERAGE - IF THEY USE IT. House Republicans are in chaos, torn between extreme cuts to life-saving programs like Medicaid and shutdown fears. With a March 14 deadline and control of both the White House and Congress, the GOP owns any shutdown failure. Their majority is miniscule and as soon as the government funding bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. That means the GOP will need Democratic support to pass a budget. Meanwhile, the Trump-Musk coup continues as MAGA tries to illegally raid payment systems, shut down federal agencies, and fire federal workers. The only way Democrats can stop any of this is by fighting like hell and refusing to cooperate. DEMOCRATS NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS PROTECT ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS Demand a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families, or Trump's team will slash essential programs and funnel cash to allies. STOP MAGA CORRUPTION Block any budget without strong protections against Trump and MAGA abuse. Without safeguards, Trump and his allies will divert funds while cutting essential programs. No cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, or food assistance-no loopholes, no empty promises. NO EXTREMIST RIDERS Hold the line on a clean government funding bill-no funding cuts to critical programs and no poison pill riders attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, or immigrant communities. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP DEMOCRATS FIGHT BACK Whether your representative is a Democrat or a Republican, they need to hear from you right now. IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT Ask them to hold the line. Democrats shouldn't vote for anything more than a two-week continuing resolution until the GOP comes to the table to negotiate a responsible budget with safeguards. IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A REPUBLICAN tell them that you don't want to pay the price for the GOP's billionaire tax breaks. Check out the link in our bio to be connected with your Member of Congress.

I sure am glad that Obama Killed Osama Bin Laden before Trump got a chance to become friends with him.
