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.

This sort of news should be preempting every sports broadcast and TV show, but instead we’re all going about our business. The more emboldened Trump and his thugs become, the more difficult and dangerous resistance will be. Our best chance to stop them is *now*

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

I also asked what percent is female: 27.4%. I don't know if the women were included in the ethnic stats so I'm leaving it separate.

Your health care premium could more than double after tonight if Congress fails to act.
But Republicans would rather shut down the government than pass a budget that keeps health insurance costs lower.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
