ACLU of Nevada @aclunv.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
The government may be looking for any excuse to detain you. Know Your Rights, and know that the ACLU of Nevada will be on the ground tomorrow.
Text-based graphic reading, "Know Your Rights: ACLU of Nevada. Stay safe at protests! This post is not legal advice. The government may be looking for any excuse to detain you. For your awareness, these are some common actions for which we have seen protesters detained:
Stepping off the sidewalk and into the street, even if only for a brief moment.
Crossing a street at a crosswalk while the ‘Do Not Walk’ sign is illuminated.
Not allowing space on the sidewalk for others to walk.
Not leaving after an inaudible dispersal order is issued.
Stepping off the sidewalk into private property.
Standing too close to an officer. No Kings Protest Rights Hotline 702-659-7535"

A fluffed up Red-Tailed Hawk is perched on an angled wooden post of a barbwire fence. It's bright yellow eye and beak gleam in the sunlight. The feathers of its loose dark wings and brown and white striped chest area fluffed up giving the bird a rounder profile. The weathered grey boards of the fence cut across a light brown grass filled pasture, with drooping strands of barbwire stapled to the square posts.

Trump has long said he intends to use the National Guard, local law enforcement, and possibly the military, to achieve his goal – beginning on “day one.” Lombardo ignored multiple inquiries about whether he’ll assist Trump by deploying the National Guard. nevadacurrent.com/2024/11/15/n...

About alt text for new Blueskyers: In settings turn on "require alt text" under "accessibility." Then, whenever you post a photo, just add a short description of the photo. For people with low vision or who are blind, alt text is read by their screen reader, so they know what the image is. 🤩

We are taking a lot of photos in this location. NV Energy will be blasting and bulldozing this location next year for the Greenlink West line. About eight 180 foot power poles per mile with a 600 foot wide bulldozed right of way. The hills will be blasted.

Everyone, journalists, we need to stop referring to SNAP as "food stamps." It's unhelpful. Here is why. In 2008, the "food stamp" program was replaced with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which provides an EBT card to benefit recipients. 1/
