This holiday is officially a black eye for the Chi-Mexican community. Domestic terrorists fighting cops & drunken clowns making rodeos of roadways, the last 2 nights have been vile, ignorant, & embarrassing. TY to 8th Dist, Streets & San, & vols for attacking the clean up.

. @ChicagosMayor ’s comments comparing the deaths of a gangbanger & an officer were wrong. A hero fallen is a tragedy. Ofc. Preston’s death marked the end of a short but beautiful life of service & sacrifice. If we truly value her gift, we see there is no comparison.

The City should SUSPEND all event permits that rely on CPD staffing and force organizers to pay for 100% private security. Cancelled RDO’s should be reserved for public EMERGENCIES, not music festivals & street parades. #GiveThemABreak

@AldermanTabares (23rd), one of the police union’s staunchest Council supporters, said the arbitrator’s ruling is “not a matter of granting a new avenue to police officers” but about “correcting a wrong based on the fact that Chicago has been using a disciplinary process for…

@CPD1617Scanner Exactly, that's why we're adding it to the MCC laws. As I'm sure you're aware, our state's attorney isn't well known for enforcing the state laws. Aldermen can't change state laws, but I'm trying to use the tools that we have.

Ald. Silvana Tabares after her effort to force a special City Council meeting fizzled: “Perhaps the mayor needs to be reminded that she has her own deadline pending to be put under no pay status and that’s called Election Day, February of 2023."

If it all seems in vain, pointless, and lost, remember, if you’re there, you’ve won. If you showed up for one more day, you’ve shown more courage than most will in a lifetime. Victory does not come at the end of the fight, it’s showing up. (5/6)

What happens when some alders draft a map based on the demographics of the city & not the tenure of the deans? The old guard pulls out all the stops to discredit, intimidate & bully those who are bold enough to stand up for their growing communities. @ChicagoMap2022 @chicagoswards

The People’s Coalition Map is backed by a group of Black, Brown and white aldermen w/ diverse views on the issues facing the city. But we all agree that 2+2=4 and that the city’s map should be based on numbers, not fake math, @AldermanTabares writes.

The mandate will have negative impacts on public safety b/c there will be less police officers to fight crime & less firefighters to fight fires. Are we going to tell our residents that we fought for them for answers or sat on the sidelines?

The mayor’s mandate has an impact on public safety in our wards & we need to be engaged. Many residents & even some of my colleagues were unaware that many first responders will be fired on 1/1/22 under the mayor’s plan.

Your victory is not the complete elimination of crime or violence. Your triumph is each day, showing up for your city, answering that dispatch, backing up your brothers and sisters and making it home safe. (4/6)

How hypocritical of any City Council member to say “just get the shot & go back to work” when most got the vax shot, closed their offices, and hide behind Zoom screens all day for 18 months. Meanwhile, kids are mask-optional, bars are open & life is tilting back toward normalcy.
