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".

Nothing sweeps us off our feet like a health policy valentine. Readers showed their love this season, writing poetic lines about bird flu, medical bills, and more. Here are some of our favorites: bit.ly/3EERWlh

This year's winner was written by @salnix.bsky.social, and inspired this cartoon. ⤵️
A five-panel comic. The first panel reads, “Roses are red; our system is flawed. Surprise bills and denials leave us all feeling awed.” It shows a cartoon drawing of a woman pulling a sheet of paper from a bouquet of roses and saying “What,” a look of consternation on her face. The second panel reads, “They promise us care, yet profits come first, leaving patients to suffer and wallets to burst.” Below the text is a drawing of the same woman attempting to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy, but there is no money in her wallet. The third panel reads, “But know that voices stand by your side — doctors and advocates who won’t let this slide!” The cartoon shows an advocate on the left holding a sheet of paper that says, “Bill too high!” and a doctor on the right holding a sheet of paper that says, “Cover that Rx!” The comic’s main character smiles up at them both. The fourth panel reads, “Love should mean coverage that’s honest and kind, not loopholes and jargon designed to blind.” Below, a pair of hands hold health care-themed heart candies. The last panel reads, “This Valentine’s Day, let’s champion care and demand a system that’s honest and fair.” The drawing below shows two hands holding a bandaged heart.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.
