They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

A lady in a colorful and sparkly owl costume. She's all gold and magenta, with outstretched wings made from hundreds of glittery craft foam feathers. Her owl mask is covered in gold and magenta glitter, with black eyes and gold irises. She's holding a staff with an hourglass on it. She's wearing a shimmery gold dress. She's posing on a stone bridge in the park, with trees in the background.

Close up of my wife wearing her owl mask and carrying her gold hourglass staff. The hourglass has gold Mardi Gras beads in it instead of sand. (I built the hourglass and staff; it can rotate in its setting to be flipped over!)

Origin story of #rexcomus: a TP reporter, Daniele Dreilinger, was assigned to cover it on social media by the new regime at the paper and basically made fun of it on Twitter. Others joined in. One year the hashtag trended NATIONALLY.

Interesting thing I saw. A rider had gotten on another float. OPD made him get off that float too in front of Canes and continue his walk of shame

The real problem is anti-social behavior. I don't mind people bringing all manner of things to the parade as long as they don't obstruct the right of way and allow others to share the space It's hard to see where the line is that divides what's acceptable and what isn't. But that's the heart of it.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

For those who don’t know: in New Orleans high school marching bands practice after school on neighborhood streets and it’s a delight.

this is unbearable. the complete lack of any consequences, ever. that there’s no mechanism in our systems to force this to end. that it just continues. all of it. every day new horrors. it’s unbearable.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising β€” nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

That notion, which is rare among the most-developed countries in the world, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment. The amendment, ratified after the Civil War, states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

You could write this. Or you could write: β€œThat notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”

All how you choose to frame it.

Did you enjoy Belgium? We really loved Bruges and enjoyed Brussels more than we expected. Flew delta though so avoided Heathrow…

Belgium was fantastic. We went in October. A few days in Bruges. A stopover in Ghent and last couple of days in Brussels. I do hope they’ve ironed out the airport arrival challenges by the time you get there.

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. β€œWe 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.
