Pigs are going to do what they’re going to do, but knowing your rights can help down the line when we untangle violations of civil rights in the courts later. We keep us safe.
The surge of federal immigration agents to the Bay Area and threats to send the National Guard to SF are flagrant abuses of power intended to instill fear, target political opponents, and chill dissent.

We all have constitutional rights when interacting with federal agents. Know your rights:👇🏾

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk.

Lawgeeks, the nationwide TRO blocking Trump's EOs that condition federal funding on discrimination against transgender people under age 19 is an excellent, systematic take-down of the arguments the administration is making in support of these vile EOs.

I feel like now is a good time to remind folks that posca paint pens can literally be used on anything that one could use spray paint on, and are much handier for carrying around.

LA STUDENTS WALK OUT AGAIN-

High school AND middle school students have taken over the streets in front of LA city hall for the 5th straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. This won’t be slowing down anytime soon

When is the rest of LA going to start joining them?

2. Remember histories of collective struggle so you can build solidarity.
3. Stay getting prepared, be ready.
4. Defy and dissent at every level.

So many other strategies and lessons, but I’ll share those four for now.

Sharing some lessons from the
Korean people who impeached, arrested, and indicted the president for his abuse of power:

1. The People first went for the those that were under him who went along with his plans. Because once you get the henchmen, there's no one for the top to call on anymore.
