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.

a fuzzy little black and brown pup in a teal harness poses on a sidewalk mid-prance. his front left leg is lifted like he’s about to frolic your way, and his fluffy tail is up proudly. he has a very young-looking face, and he’s pretty small, so he definitely gives off puppy vibes.

This is Ziggy. He is a senior dog who is often mistaken for a puppy. Will drop his skincare routine if you drop part of your sandwich. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Stay strong my friends. Rest. Recharge. Dig deep. We need each other and the country needs us.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

I'm sending an email, but white women, this is y'all's moment to shine. I can't think of a better reason to need to a speak to a manager.

Demand Congress kick the DOGE team out of government! It's becoming clear that Elon Musk, under the banner of the totally made-up and definitely not authorized Department of Government Efficiency, has deployed a crack team of engineers barely old enough

Musk has given DOGE engineers barely old enough to buy beer—and with ZERO government experience—free rein over the Treasury Dept. Now they want to access data in the Dept of Labor, National Institutes of Health, and even the FAA.

SIGN HERE to tell Congress to kick these bozos out of government!👇
