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.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

The threats from this weak and unhinged regime are growing.

But We the People are meeting the challenge — undaunted, unafraid, unwilling to be silenced by this petty, pathetic, wannabe-king.

This had some really good parts, worth watching just for fun, even if it weren't also valuable to keep the view count growing on this video to show the government censorship attempt backfired.
#resist #censorship #magamarxism
Trump, Carr, Sinclair, Nexstar, MAGA and the GOP badly don’t want you to be able to watch this. Sinclair and Nexstar are still banning it (I couldn’t watch it last night via Seattle). So it seems like every single one of us should watch it and share it on YouTube if they haven’t already. #Kimmel

To sum up: A bunch of mediocre losers who got power through affirmative action for young conservatives, want to use government power to ban people from talking about the fact that they're mediocre losers. #resist
Trump is so vain that he wants to make it ILLEGAL to make fun of him. It really is the definition of pathetic.

@jamellebouie.net nails it, as always.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Remember when Trumpists pushed investigations of the govt's interference with free speech because they communicated w/social media companies about disinformation? www.npr.org/2024/06/26/n...
Now MAGA Marxists use govt power to dictate to media what they can say. Call congress to investigate. #resist

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.

You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?

Also, if Ezra Klein believed in politics defined by vigorous debate with your opponents, he could come here on Bluesky and confront critics who engage with his ideas.

But he won’t do that, because what he actually believes in is a politics where everyone worships Ezra Klein for his profundity.
