White folks are used to being polite and accommodating to cops. Do not fall into your old ways. For once, your silence will not be violence. STFU if the cops come looking for your neighbours. No matter how friendly.

Fascism only works if we go along with it. Fascism only works if we surrender to it. Resist. Do not say a word about your neighbours. As far as the cops are concerned you’re a recluse who doesn’t talk to anybody where you live."


ID for all 3 images: White text on a black background:

"Fascist raids by law enforcement should be met with:

I don’t know.

I can’t help.

I do not know anybody’s legal status.

I have no idea who is an immigrant.

Is this a thing?
Do cops literally come to your door and ask if you know any immigrants?
That’s wild.

they just raided a restaurant I think. though I'm not sure they asked people questions about neighbors I think they just violated the 4th amendment and asked for papers.

Maybe not to your house, but I've been asked at a previous job.

I know who's an immigrant. Unless your name is like "Wind on Water" when translated, you're an immigrant.

For at least the time being, we have the right to remain silent through the 5th amendment. Providing false information can incriminate you. Providing no information at all cannot (exceptions may be providing personal identification, licenses and registrations, look up your local laws). Know your rights and exercise them.
