Chicagoans disrupt Zionist Jerry Seinfeld’s fundraiser

Aurora, IL – In a powerful display of agitated resistance, over 30 protesters braved the sub-zero temperatures and continuous snow on January 18 to shut down a fundraising event for racist Zionist Jerry Seinfeld at the Paramount Theatre.

The action, organized by the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), sent a clear message that Illinois, the home to the largest Palestinian population in the United States, will not welcome those who champion Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestine and genocide in Gaza.

TFW you email your aldermen ahead of critical votes and that one writes back indicating his support and hopes for passage of both the warming center and anti-ICE ordinances. #AuroraIL

ICE-holes today in #Aurora #Illinois (far west Chicago suburbs)...

We live near this hospital (Rush Copley in Aurora) and had been seeing a helicopter flying overhead for over half an hour on Saturday afternoon, between 2-3pm. We know what the usual medical helicopters look like, and this was definitely not one of them. It was also circling for far too long.

This side of the hospital in the video (in link) is the ER entrance where patients and the ambulances enter and leave. ICE can be seen here blocking access to and from the ER for the ambulances and patients.

The whistles are bystanders who are drawing attention to the actions of the ICE agents, so that other people can be sure to record what is happening.

ICE a-holes set up shop in the parking lot of Fischer Middle School in #AuroraIllinois , near Waubonsie High School. At least four unmarked white vehicles, and agents were wearing full masks (8:20am).

The school is closed today, so they are obviously using this as a staging area.

EDIT 10am: I was able to go over and check what my husband had witnessed early this morning. The ICE agents have left the scene, and there's now a policeman on site who said they must have left prior to his arrival. I don't know where they went, but we are about one hour's drive away from downtown #Chicago , and further than that from the infamous #Broadview IL ICE facility.

Aurora is the 2nd largest city in #Illinois with a population of over 180K people. A large percentage of them are Hispanic and African American. Today is a federal holiday across the USA, so all schools are closed.

It seems that even though the government can not afford to pay its air traffic controllers and other vital employees this week, they can still find the money to pay their Secret Police.

If you're in Illinois, please reach out to Senator Dick Durbin and implore him to vote no on the GOP Continuing resolution. Rumour has it he's wavering. Put some steel in his spine. The phone line isn't taking calls, but it's 202-224-2152. His web contact form is: durbin.senate.gov/contact/

Please boost.

Just had our mayor and alderman at my door despite my yard sign. I asked uncomfortable questions and burned probably 20 minutes of canvassing time in exchange for 0 of our 3 votes.

That is NOT an ok name for a data center.

Aurora, unless you've already early voted, get out and vote for mayor tomorrow. We can do better.

I feel like people running for office should use portrait photos from the same decade. The media should as well.

Leland Tower in downtown Aurora, IL during this evening's Lumenaura festivities. 1/10" handheld exposure, ISO 6400. Lightroom's denoise feature worked magic here.

A night scene of downtown Aurora, Illinois. The Fox River is in the foreground, with a well-lit bridge crossing it in the center of the image. A tall building (Leland Tower) with some colorful lights projected on it stands behind the bridge.
