It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

The Current State of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (October 2025 Edition) Grant money that should be going to library projects is going to state-sponsored propaganda, among other IMLS updates.
