I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

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.

This is such lame messaging. Nobody cares what he says.

End the maggots wherever you see them.

Religions poison and ruin everything. Keep your religion to yourself and do no fucking harm.

the DOJ is literally **arresting Democratic members of Congress** and Senate Democrats are voting to pass Republican legislation

Fuck Trump

Dan Flashes and Old Navy super sale event.

Please just go away

Most be the slowest ride of my life. But 3 months post Achilles rupture/repair and 20 degrees outside, I’ll take what I can I guess.

Hey roach!

Huh what should we call this action? Shall we wither with our twiddled away thumbs, waiting for you all to call this shit what it is?

Musk needs to get deported.

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

Musk is a parasite. Squash him. MAGA is a disease. Eradicate it.

What a fucking snowflake bitch. You _ARE_ a felon, Don Jon 😘

Fucking America is a bag of dicks. Read that however you wish.

every single republican in office is a fucking oathbreaker who is selling out the constitution and our democratic birthright

Hey NPRZ want to maybe clarify that the “targets” were felons, including the potus rapist himself.

Unpopular opinion but it’s like the election, Gaza is being used as a major distraction. They are literally dismantling the fabric of the USA but every news story is how Trump wants to level Gaza to put up a Trump casino. Playing right into their hands…again.

I truly hate everything almost every fucking thing happening. Fuck America.

Le Tarde

JD Vance is gonna fuck a couch today

Donald Trump is a piece of shit. Fuck him.

Fuck Donald Trump.

And there it is. They are coming after any person who wants to control their own bodies. If this, then why not condoms or ALL birth control.

This guy acted so tough when fending off democratic challengers. He’s soooo tough now!
What a sham.

That is amazing, nice pull.
So it’s not true captain Tsubasa is based on Messi?? 😜
