I want so badly to read new books but all my mind wants to do is reread. It’s like my hard drive is full and cannot add any new material #booksky

We need our allies to show up for our trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive neighbors.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

If you are detained by ICE, do not say anything without a lawyer present.

Exile. Imprisonment. The end of elections. We know what tyranny looks like once it’s underway. But how does it start? We spoke with people from around the world who missed the warning signs of tyranny...

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

Via @maketheroadny.bsky.social: If ICE shows up, know your rights.

“ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.”

maketheroadny.org/we-protect-us/
IF ICE SHOWS UP, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! If immigration (ICE) comes to your door or stops you in the streets, you have rights! 1. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge. POLICE ICE ? ICE will not always identify themselves as ICE. If there is a knock at your door and they say "Police" it could very well be ICE. ICE will often say they are police to gain access to homes. If at any point they try to enter, or do enter, continue to say "I DO NOT CONSENT" If they insist they have a warrant ask them to slip it under the door. 2. REMAIN CALM Don't run and most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc. Anything you say or do can be used against you. If ICE questions you, under the 5th Amendment, you have the right to remain silent and to not incriminate yourself. If you are detained, ask for an immigration attorney immediately. Although immigration does not provide attorneys, once you ask for an attorney they should no longer question you. 3. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter. Have an attorney look over any documents that ICE gives you. 5. MAKE A FAMILY PLAN If you have children, identify a caretaker. 4. RECORD If you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest. Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone's immigration case. Make sure your family is prepared if ICE arrives at your home. Have all your personal documents and finances secure. Make sure you have at least one number memorized in case of an emergency. MAKE THE ROAD NEW YORK
