Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
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.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

The definition of what a real American is has been rather fluid. Sometimes it was defined by what we ate.

Folks, this is the play. An this situation is simply the canary in the coal mine. They are planning not to seat the 2026 Congress - they definitely won’t if the Dems win the majority, but likely no matter what.

We have no congress. No House of Representatives, and without them the Senate can't do anything either.

They've ended the U.S. Congress and nobody noticed. If that's not the definition of a legal coup, nothing is.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

LMS (Moodle, Canvas, etc) has taken an otherwise rewarding and enriching profession and transformed it into a simple job that requires toggling & checking boxes, copying and pasting, and clicking the 3 dots -- ALL FUCKING DAY LONG! Every class run through the LMS, I never talk to students anymore.

🤔 “load the jails full of them”

Ex-TN Highway Patrol troopers say they were pressured to arrest people for DUI’s to get higher pay, likely leading to sober drivers being arrested — “This is corruption. We’re ruining people’s lives.”
