It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.
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.

A WBEZ and Sun-Times analysis found Democrat-led states like Illinois have lower murder and violent crime rates than some Republican-led states, along with fewer undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
Trump's claims about murder rates and illegal immigration fit red states more than blue states

Hell yes, suck it repubs, guess virulent racism doesn't work as an election strategy
Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

"It’s a bizarrely inspirational adventure about different types of beings overcoming the limiting parts of their own programming (literal or figurative) and/or proving there is more to them than others assumed,” writes @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social in his 4/4 star review of PREDATOR: BADLANDS.
Predator: Badlands movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

“Amid the laugh-a-minute dialogue and innately absurd scenarios, I LOVE LA is more than a zoo where we can point and laugh at obsessive selfie-takers,” writes @clintworthing.bsky.social about the Zennial comedy series.
HBO's Zennial Comedy "I Love LA" Lets Rachel Sennott Navigate Life, Love, and Influence | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
It's a show for the self-obsessed, the image-centric, and the painfully irresponsible. In that respect, it might capture its setting and cohort perfectly.
