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. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

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…

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

Want to know one way government layoffs affect the public at large? A cashier at the grocery store told me this morning that because people don’t have jobs, sales are down, leading to supermarket employees’ hours being cut.

This is a tough time right now, and the way I’m trying to get through this, like I did during the first Trump administration, is through good books and good music (among other things). So right now, I’m reading “A River Runs Through It.” Anyone want to recommend something?

In the face of everything going on, it’s easy to give up and decide that nothing matters. But as @kenwhite.bsky.social points below, we can fight back by with kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values.

Four years ago, Donald Trump incited a violent, unprecedented assault on American democracy. Ever since, the GOP has sought to rewrite history—to deny what all of us saw, and the plot that fomented it. They’ve been winning the information war. As Democrats, we can not back down from this fight. 🧵

Please remember, amid all the (incredibly pertinent) talk of what this and its aftermath has done to the Constitution and democracy, that there were a lot of people in the Capitol who were just doing their jobs. They did not deserve to go through this.

100% on the money. A lot of people are down on Garland, but a) DOJ needed to take the time to make sure the case was as tight as possible and b) they thought that the Supreme Court would actually, you know, follow the law. Against that court, not much DOJ could do.
