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.

What would you stop being able to afford if your premiums went up by $1,000?

Your insurance? Groceries? Rent?

This will be the reality for countless families soon. THIS is what Democrats are trying to stop.
