It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist. 828newsnow.com/news/228822-...

Some of you
(11) General Interference with Organizations and Production

(a) Organizations and Conferences (1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

(2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate “patriotic” comments.

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never less than five.

(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

(5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

(6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

(7) Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

(8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision—raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

The Soviet Red Army enters Auschwitz, Poland, and liberates the survivors of the network of concentration camps—and finally reveals to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.

Hence, A more accurate definition of democracy is a society that ensures that every individual voice is equally valued and heard regardless of circumstance. Not a jaded 2 party corporate, not even majority rule system.

miss her already and she woulda made great change. but the elephant in the room is $ in politics. today what it means to fight for democracy is to donate your hard earned money to a candidate and still get outspent by billionaires who buy elections in plain view. citizens united made this legal.

If you’re more upset by the fact that our flags will be at half staff at the Capitol for Jimmy Carter than you are about the fact that our flags were used to beat police officers at our Capitol for Donald Trump, congratulations, you are an asshole and you’re in a fucking cult.

My latest. I wanted to take today off but I think more Americans need to know this before it's forgotten by tomorrow. "Elon Musk and JD Vance's Support of Germany's Nazi-Loving AfD Party Should Be Much Bigger News" thelefthook.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...
thelefthook.substack.com
Elon Musk and JD Vance's Support of Germany's Nazi-Loving AfD Party Should Be Much Bigger News
Elon Musk & J.D. Vance tweeted in support of the AfD Party whose racist, anti-immigrant ideologies are shared by a terrorist who just killed 5 people in Germany. Maybe it's not "economic anxiety."
