Do you know what to do if ICE shows up? Regardless of immigration status, here’s what you should know and a link to the full info bc there’s too much to put in alt text but it is small

gz4c.org/fight/

An info graphic, the key points are:
Know your rights when confronted by ice
1. You have the right to remain silent. Clearly state you are choosing to remain silent, and do so. They may continue to question you but you don’t have to answer.
2. Remain calm and do not run away. Ice can use this as an excuse to arrest you.
3. You have the right to demand a judicial warrant before letting them into your home. Do not open the door, have them slide it underneath and then make sure everything is spelled correctly and that it is signed by a judge- not by ice.
4. You have the right to speak with a lawyer if you are arrested. Never never sign any documents alone, always request a lawyer.
5. US citizen allies can play a vital role. You have the right to record, as long as you do not interfere or obstruct.

It's a glorious day to be a digital magpie! – Pinning nature photos that refresh my sense of wonder and all kinds of art crafted by human skill and determination, so I can share them with you all here one by one!

I've come across so many beautiful things today, I simply have to give something back.

Defined rays of sunlight peek through scattered clouds in a blue sky, limning the rolling green hills of California's Briones Regional Park and crisply highlighting each blade of grass on the hill the photographer stands on.

Yes, it really is that color.

Mountains and alpine forests surround an intensely aqua blue colored lake that is dotted with a few small, treed islands. The sky is bright blue with a few wispy white clouds. The boughs of a fir tree dip into the upper left foreground.

Below the sunflower is a cluster of smaller, orange, ruffled flowers, possibly marigolds. Scattered throughout the bouquet are small, purple flowers and hints of other colorful blooms, all wrapped in a brown paper or burlap material. The lighting is bright, highlighting the textures of the petals

The #hummingbirds took their sweet time to find me this year, but boy am I so happy they’re here 💫🧚🏽‍♂️ my feeders have FINALLY been emptied for the first time since I hung them months ago. I got ones with perches this year & we love to watch them hang out & get their sip on 🥹🤩

A red hummingbird feeder hangs from the roof of a covered front porch and has a hummingbird on the left perched on it. The perspective is through the leaves of a hanging basket on the front porch.

A blue marbled stained glass hummingbird feeder hangs from the roof of a covered front porch and has a hummingbird on the right about to land on the perch, wings moving so fast they’re just a blur.

The blue stained glass hummingbird has a hummingbird flying on the left sipping from the feeder. Part of a barn with a large tree can be seen in the background.

The perspective of the red hummingbird feeder with a hummingbird perched on it, finally taking that sip, and seems to be enjoying it peacefully and happily.

It ain’t much, but it’s #WaterfallWednesday
#nature #upstateny

You are close to the water, looking at a tiny waterfall. The water rushes and falls, creating foamy waves. On the opposite side of the river you can sort of make out some bushes and trees, the sun is setting behind you so the normally vibrant greens are muted and spooky. A few brighter green leaves frame your view. In the distance you can see a tall building poking out among the trees, lights breaking through the image.

I saw the best thistle seed feeder today! 😜🤪
At least it gave me an appreciation for the fine crop of thistles growing at the local lake.

Crescent in Amber

"A Pearl Crescent butterfly (Phyciodes tharos) rests with wings fully open, basking in warm, natural light. Its forewings are a rich, burnt orange, bordered in black and dusted with delicate black markings that resemble inked lace. The hindwings echo the orange hue but are edged with a darker band, within which a faint, pale crescent—its namesake—can be glimpsed near the lower edge.

The butterfly’s body is slender and dark, with fine hairs catching the light. Its antennae are thin and banded, ending in small, rounded tips. It perches on a textured surface—perhaps a sunlit rock or weathered wood—its shadow soft and close beneath it. The background is blurred, a gentle wash of greens and browns, suggesting a natural setting without drawing attention away from the butterfly’s intricate beauty." - Copilot
