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.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The number is in the 40's. Throw a dart.

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

Screw the press conferences being called from those who voted yes. I want press conferences from those who voted no. I want to hear their opinion of Dem leadership in the Senate—if you're not calling for Schumer/Durbin to be yeeted, you've failed.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Nothing like coordinating votes w/ your caucus to give you cover. Adios, dickhead.

Weak weak weak

Sam Altman texts Shivon Zilis February 9, 2023 Sam Altman BTW, good idea for me to tweet something nice about Elon? Have been meaning to do this after he DMd about not being in the photo from the first day of OpenAl. Just about how much I and others look up to him, how critical his early contributions to OpenAl are, etc.

Sam Altman @sama X.com society underestimates how much it owes elon for raising the collective ambition level at a time when optimism for the future was receding 10:21 PM • 2/13/23 • 2.7M Views

I found it- the most embarrassing poster’s chat

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom.

PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom.

DARRYL, SOCRATES AND PLATO’S FRIEND: well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

Coffee & a cigarette? Great.
Coffee w/ milk & a cigarette? Also great.
Milk & a cigarette? Get the fuck outta here.

Funny phrasing in this headline—Made a $12 Billion Loss.

"Ya'll are just a bunch of takers while I and my cohort are the *makers* in this country. For example, my company MADE negative 12 billion in one quarter."

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Rhea Seehorn just killing it on Pluribus, basically carrying the first two installments. In ep 2, she flashes some comedic chops that I didn't even realize she had. Loving this show so far. #pluribus

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

The president, who routinely lies about his weight, held an event with two top health officials (a TV doctor and a guy who had a worm in his brain). The event, centered on drugs that make it unnecessary to exercise to lose weight, was interrupted when one of the elderly men attending fainted.

It's the "outside palliative care" bit that makes this opinion extra special

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland.

Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

I’m told that the results of a single election reflect a perfect, unchanging, and inescapable spirit of the Volk, so I will expect us all to start respecting the American people’s desire for Woke Maximalism.

IS THAT MY DAUGHTER IN THERE?!

Had to pop a lorazepam and I don't even care who wins

Over on Twitter, I bet they are also all watching the game but every time something happens someone blames it on Jewish people.

Definitely the weirdest WS, if nothing else.
