Ellis: "Kids love Halloween. It's a day where all the rules go out the window. You can eat as much candy as you want."

Ellis is describing the Halloween parade that federal agents disrupted in Old Irving Park.
"Their sense of safety was shattered," Ellis said. "It is going to take a long time to come back, if ever."

She came in a little hot then apologized. She is way better than Zoe and her crowd who just told me my follower count is low, no one listens to my podcast and I look like shit. I do understand her point of view. The teardown on Cabrini was a hot mess and CHA is corrupt.

She was very respectful. She got "radicalized" by the broken promises surrounding Cabrini Green and CHA in general. I don't agree with her politics but I understand. The Jane Byrne stunt alone could push some people over the edge.

I had an interaction with her today and I understand her better.

Historically, the Chicago impulse to say “you’re not FROM here, you don’t BELONG here, and if you know what’s good for you you’ll get OUT of here” has, um, not usually been a tool used on behalf of anti-racist solidarity, but we’re more flexible people than we’re given credit for

People are fucking pissed. You can intellectually know what’s happening, see the videos, and still be traumatized and shocked when it comes to your block, no matter what community you live in.
