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".
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)
Better late than never. Catch the theme?

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Illustration of an older white lady in a white lab coat examining a grey shorthaired tabby cat on a white table. The background is kind of like halfway between beige and mustard yellow.
This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.
He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.
That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.
EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.
this rules so much, Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke is incredible. i also love the expression on Mariameno Kapa-Kingi's face

Trump returning to power is itself the end of the constitutional order, one heralded by his failure to be disqualified from the ballot as required by the US Constitution, for his attempt to overthrow it by force. Everything happening after deepens the break.
Parsnippet!!!!
