I get the Pilsen Community Books e-newsletter and they announced they’re moving, luckily to another part of Pilsen.

But the landlord in their current location on 18th and Carpenter raised their rent by 50%! Not sustainable for small businesses. Happy they are staying alive and expanding elsewhere.

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.

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
