At every point in our history, immigrants have helped us tackle our greatest challenges.

Immigrants should be celebrated, not demonized.

Trump has threatened the visas of international student protesters. A post-grad at risk shares his fears | CNN Post-grad student Momodou Taal nearly lost his student visa after taking part in protests. He says international students may face the same dilemma as him.

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to deport visa-holders that participated in pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

Now, he has issued an executive order that could be used to do just that.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “Trump pardoned violent criminals, now they claim they want to keep criminals off the streets? This law would mean people are deported without a day in court if they are even accused of a crime… a fundamental suspension of a core 🇺🇸 value: innocent until proven guilty.”

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.

A lot of people keep saying that Elon’s decisions don’t make sense, but I have a trick. Simply ask “Is this going to get everybody talking about Elon Musk?” 

If the answer is “Yes” then, to Elon, it is a good idea.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.
