Pt. 2/2 ⬇️
DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION. Do not answer questions about your immigration status, where you were born, or your criminal history. 4 NO COMPARTAS INFORMACION PERSONAL. No respondas preguntas sobre tu estado migratorio, dónde naciste o tus antecedentes penales. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Do not sign any document without speaking to a lawyer. 5 NO FIRMES NADA. No firmes ningún documento sin hablar con un abogado. SPEAK TO A LAWYER. Consult with a lawyer ahead of time. If you are arrested, ICE will not provide you with a lawyer, so be prepared. CONSULTA CON UN ABOGADO. Consulta con un abogado con anticipación. Si te arrestan, ICE no te dará un abogado, así que prepárate

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)
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".

Today is World #EpilepsyDay

#Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders.

Anyone can develop it at any age.
It’s not contagious & it's treatable.

Know the facts so you can help tackle the myths & misconceptions that lead to stigma & discrimination bit.ly/WHO-Epilepsy
Key facts: Epilepsy is a chronic noncommunicable disease of the brain that affects people of all ages. Around 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases globally. Nearly 80% of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries. It is estimated that up to 70% of people living with epilepsy could live seizure-free if properly diagnosed and treated. The risk of premature death in people with epilepsy is up to three times higher than for the general population. Three quarters of people with epilepsy living in low-income countries do not get the treatment they need. In many parts of the world, people with epilepsy and their families suffer from stigma and discrimination.

1- Just in case these NIH pages explaining the benefits of NIH-funded research come down, I am recording some of them here.

Explore the sections below to discover more about how NIH provides value for the public’s investment. Improving Health: Discoveries emerging from NIH-supported research have led to new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat illness, ultimately improving the health of the nation and the world. Revolutionizing Science: NIH fuels the biomedical research enterprise—cultivating world-class scientists and catalyzing new scientific fields, tools, and resources that have changed how science is done. Serving Society: NIH-supported research leads to improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce the costly burden of illness.

Sus Derechos Con La Migra

🔁 Share. Enseñar. 🔁
Your Rights With ICE (immigration and customs enforcement). Don’t open the door. Communicte through the window or closed door, an agent can only enter your home with a signed warrant from a judge. Remain Silent, and do not sign any documents. Say out loud you won’t sign any document without an attorney present. Do not consent to a warrantless search, you have the right to deny searching of any and all personal property unless a warrant signed by a judge is presented. Take photos and video, tell the agent you will be documenting the interaction. Sus Derechos Con La Migra. No abra la puetra. comuníquese por la ventana o por la puerta cerrada. Guarde Silencio Y No Firme Ningún Documento. Usted tiene el derecho de guardar silencio. Diga en voz alta que no va a contestar preguntas o firmar ningún documento sin un abogado presente. No de permiso que entren. O revisen su casa, auto, o persona. Al menos que tengan una orden firmada por un juez. Tome fotos, videos y apunte todos los detalles. informe al agente que va a usar su derecho de grabar.

Seven books to read if you are angry about the election, from Ruth Madievsky:
What to Read If You’re Angry About the Election
These seven books aren’t a cure for rage and despair. Think of them instead as a prescription.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
