"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

#4thOfJuly
The Statue of Liberty, a woman wearing draped clothing is holding a torch above her head in her right hand and a tablet in her left. She’s on a brown brick pedestal and sits atop a brown brick building. People are standing near the pedestal/building but are mostly blocked by a brown brick wall. To the right is the American flag. The sky is blue with wispy white clouds.

🚨PLEASE SHARE🚨
Here’s a fantastic safe protest checklist, including items to wear/bring to anti-ICE protests and calls to action in your area.

This is really sage advice. Every white person planing to help confront #ICE and #NationalGuard when (not if) they come to your area, should watch this.

Donald Trump said: " I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them, but they are here for the nation ...

From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour." JK it was Hitler

Friendly reminder!!!! Most importantly, if you get arrested or stopped by law enforcement, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! (with alt text)
Most importantly, if you get arrested or stopped by law informant, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!! Know Your Protest Rights: 1. You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 2. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and police. 3. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. 4. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. 5. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present. 6. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.

ATTENTION: #RESISTANCE

THEY ARE TRYING TO SCARE YOU AWAY FROM DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS TO PROTEST AND DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO DEMOCRACY.

Do NOT be afraid. This shows THEY are afraid. This tyrannical regime is afraid of the power of the people.

Hard to watch: @newsweek.com posted footage of masked ICE agents arresting 50-year-old grandmother Angela Gonzalez, who'd been here since she was 11. She had a pending VAWA application, but other than that, had no options for a green card since she got here too late for the Reagan amnesty.
