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.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

The gesture he made was a perfect Nazi salute. That’s not in dispute.
Did he mean to do it? Only Elon knows.
But here’s the thing: All he’d have to do is simply say “Fuck no, I wasn’t doing the Nazi salute. I’d NEVER do that. The Nazis were evil. Fuck the Nazis.”
And Elon hasn’t said ANY of that.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.
