Protest tips from the #ACLU

#protest #nokings #ice #knowyourrights
Protest Tips From The ACLU Organizing Team 1. Write important phone numbers, like legal aid, on your body. 2. Identify an emergency contact and protest buddy beforehand. 3. Turn your phone on airplane mode when not in use. 4. Disable your phone's Face or Touch ID and replace with a 6-digit passcode. 5. Covering your face may help protect your privacy - but depending on where you are, you may be subject to laws that prohibit wearing a mask. Check with your local ACLU affiliate for guidance on masking. 6. Take appropriate precautions and dress comfortably. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN INTERACTING WITH IMMIGRATION AGENTS 1. If you're in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away. 2. You have the right to remain silent, even if you're arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you're arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. 3. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. 4. If you have valid immigration documents, you're required to show them. Never provide fake documents. 5. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere. 6. If you're at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS ACLU 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 the 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 office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.

A pale-skinned, black-haired woman in purple with purple eyes. She looks vaguely upward and is surrounded by abstract constellations A zoomed-in picture focusing on the same woman as before, but she looks more tired, and her hands are pointing upward in the ASL sign for “Star”

I refuse to join Bluesky - I don’t want to become a part of an Ekko chamber

Here’s a still from the first video I have made (in the midst of a copyright dispute lol, will post a link if/when it is resolved)
still image from a digital animation depicting the earth and moon on the low center of the screen, in front of the Milky Way galaxy. The image is somewhat simplified and used the rough texture spray paint tool liberally. The image is mostly violet, with a pop of warm colors in the sun behind the earth.

The classic overwatch meme picturing a light-skinned dark-haired girl lying amid rubble, labeled “the current state of the US political climate,” and below that image, an angel reaches out with light emanating behind her, labeled “ANDY!!!!”

Medium sized mug with a cartoon bookshelf pictured on it, with a black cat, crow, and an assortment of items. There are cat puns on some of the books’ spines, and the color palate is largely red, blue, green, and tan on a white background with black outlines.

“Sun,” a project for a school portfolio. inspired by @sleepingatlast.com ‘s song with the same name. ☀️
Full-on photo of the “Sun.” Multimedia, primarily acrylic on cardboard. There are eight primary layers, three done on an inner piece of circular cardboard, a string layer, two outer layers on a large ring of cardboard, a wire layer, and a layer of clay planets. In order, the layers represent a stellar core, the radiation layer, the convection layer, the transition region, the photosphere, the chromosphere, the corona, and the planets. An infinity motif is used throughout, as with the colors of red, orange, and gold. Close up on top left corner, the planets Uranus and Neptune are visible, resting on the wire. Extreme close up on impasto textures. The planets mercury and Venus are visible, as are strings in the shape of an infinity motif Angled close-up; earth is visible.
