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.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” information that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.”

Under Paul Dans, Project 2025 assembled a database of more than 10,000 Trump loyalist job candidates ready to place into federal agencies — a ready-use toolkit to create a second Trump administration that would be more MAGA than his first.

10,000 people signed up to run for office in the two weeks after Mamdani won. Whether the party likes it or not, a new generation of leaders is stepping up.
We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. 

A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Anyone that has been paying attention since before the 2024 election will have anticipated the Trump regime ramping up rhetoric and threats of political prosecution of the opposition, especially as scrutiny of their brazenly fascist policies and actions increases.

They *ran* on this promise.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller

"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

They want the government to stay off their backs so they throw wiffle balls. Nothing to do with journalists wanting them to be prepared for anything.
I’ll say it again - when *any* politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”
