Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Was a reviewer for a book on African American music in Chicago from 1880-1920 and the book drops next year.

Going to be epic—well written and a fascinating topic.
