Some notes on the City of Angels and the nature of violence
>Is throwing a brick through a window violent? What about graffitiing a wall? Or lighting a driverless car on fire? What about trampling over a defenseless person with a police horse and then clubbing them? What about shooting someone from five feet away with plastic bullets? What about tear gassing entire city blocks? > >Is it reasonable to ignore the power dynamic in this discussion? To see unarmed protestors standing up for their community members brutalized and ask what they did to deserve it? Is property damage violence? Are the police ever accountable for their violence? > >Rebecca Solnit has a few thoughts on LA and “violence.” (Taken from an email sent to me by Never Again Action.)
Know your rights in event of an ICE invasion
ICE regularly lies to people in pursuit of its ethnonationalist agenda. If you live in Imperial America, you can keep yourselves safer by remembering these rights: In Public: You have a right to remain silent. You have the right to refuse a search of your person. You have the right to refuse to give the immigration officer any documents. At Home: Do not open your door to talk with an ICE agent. ICE must have a warrant signed by a judge to be allowed to enter your home. Identify whom you are talking to. Ask to see their badge (without opening the door). Ask for a warrant to be slid under the door. Remember: no warrant, no entry! School/Hospitals/Places of Worship: Nationally, these sensitive locations are now places where ICE can make arrests. ICE agents still need a warrant signed by a judge to enter places with a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as classrooms, administrative offices, cafeterias &c. You may consult your local laws for extra protections. At Work: ICE needs a judicial warrant or permission from your employer to enter private areas of a business. However, ICE can enter the public space of a workplace without needing any type of warrant. These areas may include an office lobby, supermarket, retail store, or dining area of restaurant. At Courthouses: ICE can arrest someone in or near courthouses, provided there is credible information about the presence of a “targeted individual” and local laws allow it. You may consult your local laws for extra protections. Outside of a court room, you have the right to record ICE agents for any reason — it does not matter what they tell you. Your video recording should preferably be uninterrupted (so as to prevent someone from accusing you of ‘selective evidence’), and you should avoid making noise if you can clearly hear an ICE agent talking, but narrate if their speech is indiscernible. Thank you for your cooperation. Be vigilant. [https://www.nag.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Beneath-a-Steel-Sky-BE-VIGILANT.png]
