Hello Chief and APD Leadership,
I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods.
Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital.
Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World
In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity.
I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.
All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important.
As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection.
We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further.
Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us
I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)
to the Aurora Police
following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests
So here it is!

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

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.

I would like to note for the record that I don't care that Platner got his Nazi tattoo covered up finally because that big dumb bigoted motherfucker still worked for Blackwater and was queerphobic as shit and I see no evidence he ever morally reckoned with any of that.

I love how fast my normie adopted sis is radicalizing. Yesterday we talked about Trump's actions "unprecedented," and then took that apart in term of race.
She got it immediately that unprecedent is risk being distributed to white folks. I'm gently urging her to get her women friend group involved.

Today did not go as planned. I am getting better at responding to her falls. Touch test for pain, check swelling, sh orients with names and location, monitoring.
But I would not have been able to do it without home care. Forecasting that assisted living has to happen sooner than later. It's tough.

Hi. If you're a White person who defended Platner because "it's a misunderstanding" and/or 'an old mistake he probably hadn't even thought of in years" I want you to read this developing story and then sit with the fact that you, yes you, are unsafe for people of color.

It appears that there is a large-scale migra raid in progress or about to occur in Rockwood (Gresham). Several reports of soldiers, a helicopter, etc. in the last 45 minutes.
