Something something preserve disorder something something
ICE and Border Patrol aren't preventing violence in Chicago. They're creating violence in Chicago.
The "worst of the worst" is a big lie.

Noooooooo 😢
Volumes Bookcafe is closing in January 2026. 😔 They say sales are down 20-30% per month since Barnes & Noble moved into Wicker and risks of health insurance premiums going up next year are why the owners are closing Volumes.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Northside Chicago peeps, the ICE/CBP convoy has been spotted around the Lincoln Park Costco.

Please patrol your neighborhood and alert laborers at worksites, and landscapers who are removing leaves. The ones I've talked to were not aware of the situation

This is near my niece and nephew's school in Evanston, Ill just hours ago as they are now on lockdown.

This is what's happening. It's an occupation by ICE in a Chicago suburb. They must be abolished.

a plainclothes federal agent walked into a brighton park barber shop pretending to be a customer this morning.

the agent came back half an hour later with two other feds and abducted someone, then threatened to arrest anyone else who stepped in.
Statement from Alderwoman Julia Ramirez regarding the man taken by federal agents at a barbershop in Brighton Park.

“This is an unjust and horrifying act that violates the trust, dignity, and safety of our community members by tricking them into letting agents inside private property.”

I just organized some resources for whistles if anyone wants to DIY an event or join forces with my whistle event team.

We could use support with 3D printing whistles! I’ve got files, donation links, and a sign-up sheet. Also a link to the zines if you need it!

Chicago Whistle Links | Linktree
We host weekly whistle events at places like Nighthawk in Albany Park, Beermiscuous in Lakeview, and more coming soon. Please help us print whistles & zines!
