Enjoy this snap of my deeply beloved son after he yawned and clamped his tongue on a spot where he’s missing a tooth or two 🤪

Masterpiece. If you’re cisgender, I reallllly think this film is for you. Allegory offers a visceral sense re: individual impact/ what’s at stake right now.
Bonus if you watched Nickelodeon in the early/ mid 90s, you’ll feel esp drawn to some visuals and devices used!

What timely aphorisms/ calls to action/ liberatory vision phrases do you love? Pithy, punchy, important. “Borders are fake.”
“Disobey unjust laws.”
“Do not comply.”
“Another world is possible.”
“Empires fall.”
“Talk to your neighbors.”
“We have all we need to win.”
“We keep us safe.”

Easy action for the day: spend 10 mins of your day poking around this incredible multimedia resource site, EYES on ICE. Share one learned with a friend bit.ly/EYESonICE (p 3 of 3)
THINK BEFORE SHARING Pause before you share publicly or start livestreaming. Determine if you need to protect anyone's identity, including your own. If posting online, be aware of what information the platform is collecting. For example, cellphones often capture GPS coordinates in the video's metadata. If this information is uploaded with the video, it could be used to trace the footage back to you. PRESERVE YOUR MEDIA Save the original file in a safe place. Never delete the original file or change the filename. If you do edit, do it from a copy. Refer to our archiving. decision tree for more key points. LIVESTREAMING • Livestreaming can expose people's identities and other sensitive information far more easily than recorded video, but sharing any videos online - live or not - is risky. • Consider streaming to a trusted set of viewers, such as an attorney or legal observers on a private channel. • It can be helpful to describe what's happening or recap what happened through factual commentary. • Work with a partner to keep an eye on what's happening in the periphery and to check viewers' comments and questions. • Sites like Facebook let you save the video on their platform, but others delete the video after a set time period. If you think your video contains evidentiary content, it's good to download and preserve a copy on your secure devices.

Ñ • It is legal to film immigration and law enforcement in public in the United States, regardless of your immigration status, as long as you don't interfere. • Be aware that agents may falsely identify themselves as police officers during an enforcement, but you should not lie. • You and your devices are more vulnerable to be searched at the border and within 100 miles of the U.S. borders. Learn more about your rights at the border from ACLU Texas. • Avoid locking your phone with fingerprint, face and pattern ID. Law enforcement can't force you to give up your passcode without a warrant or court order, but they can ask or coerce you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint. Have a legal support number and/or a trusted contact's information handy. Enabling auto backup can prevent footage from being lost, deleted or confiscated. Cloud servers can come with risks of breaches or cooperating with law enforcement, so be mindful about keeping sensitive footage there long-term. Delete sensitive data like images of or contact information for anyone at risk- especially when filming at or near borders. If safe, let the person being detained know that you are there to observe and document the agents' behavior. Stop filming if the person being targeted requests that you do so. Film key details such as law enforcement badges, uniforms (or lack thereof), license plates, weapons, communications between agents, signage, property damage, border fences or walls, surveillance and body cameras, or other people filming. Document all agencies working together. Stay focused on law enforcement activity instead of civilians. Film wide shots and/or people's feet or backs to anonymize identities. Make it easier for investigators, journalists, and lawyers to verify your video by filming street signs, buildings, and landmarks. If filming inside or outside someone's home, don't expose details of their living situation without consent. Doing so could put other members of their family at risk.

FILMING IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT Immigrant rights are human rights. Filming encounters with immigration enforcement can help protect your loved ones and your community by exposing abuses, deterring violence, and serving as evidence. But if the video isn't captured safely and ethically, there can be unintended harm to both the person being filmed and the person filming. EVALUATE RISKS Risks occur when you film, share, and preserve footage of state violence. The nature of these risks and the options for harm reduction will vary across people, contexts, and circumstances. Filming is not always the best (or only) option. Assess risks for yourself and others before you film. Things like perceived identity (including and beyond race, gender, mental health status, etc.), a vulnerable immigration status, or history with the criminal legal system could elevate the risk level. Be aware that immigration agents and police care mainly about their safety, not yours. Moving quickly or suddenly to get a phone or reaching into your pocket could escalate the situation. CENTER CARE Keep in mind that witnessing and experiencing state violence can be traumatic or distressing during and long after. Try to identify what can help you calm your nervous system and care for yourself and others. If you are able, ask the person experiencing violence what they need and what could help de-escalate the situation. Prioritize dignity, agency, and safety. Your first priority should be to do no harm. Exposing someone's identity could put them at greater risk. Filming could be unsafe for you and lead to arrest or retaliation. Always assess the risks before you hit "record." If filming is unsafe, consider notifying support networks and/or writing down details after the incident.
