Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them.
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I’ve spent so much time mourning a life I’ll never have.
Now, I’m trying to build a different one, but it sucks thinking of what won’t be.

This is a generational fight. If you think this is going to be fixed after a Blue Wave in 2026, you’re not being realistic. I’m begging you to put down the AI slop memes and be realistic.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.
"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

Now TikTok is back up for American users with a notice thanking Donald Trump for the extension and Dems continue to look like they got played.
Just so we’re all clear:
-Dems bend over backwards to Netanyahu’s every whim carrying through with financing a genocide, Bibi wants Trump to win and it costs Dems the election.
-At the request of Netanyahu, the Tiktok Ban bill is Revived under a Dem President, closer tying it to Biden moreso

I feel like it's important to point out as a Jew who has been involved in Pro-Palestine spaces both online and irl since long before the current genocide started that although I have encountered some occasional antisemitism, exactly zero of it has been from Palestinians.

It is so discouraging to see that the media hasn't learned a single thing over the past decade. They normalize the absolutely insane things Trump and his surrogates do and treat them as legitimate.
